SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1320.8(d), title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires PHMSA to provide interested members of the public and affected agencies an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping requests. This notice identifies information collection requests PHMSA will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for renewal and extension. These information collections are contained in 49 CFR 171.6 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180). PHMSA has revised burden estimates, where appropriate, to reflect current reporting levels or adjustments based on changes in proposed or final rules published since the information collections were last approved. Please note that in the February 23, 2021 (86 FR 11052), notice and request for comments, PHMSA included an additional information collection under OMB Control Number 2137-0022 titled “Testing, Inspection, and Marking Requirements for Cylinders.” However, since that publication, PHMSA received a 3-year renewal for this collection based on changes associated with a final rule PHMSA published on December 28, 2020, titled “
                    *Hazardous Materials: Miscellaneous Amendments Pertaining to DOT-Specification Cylinders”*
                     (HM-234; 85 FR 85380). As this collection has been renewed until May 31, 2024, OMB Control Number 2137-0022 is no longer contained in this notice for comment and subsequent renewal. The following information is provided for each information collection: (1) Title of the information collection, including former title if a change is being made; (2) OMB control number; (3) summary of the information collection activity; (4) description of affected public; (5) estimate of total annual reporting and recordkeeping burden; and (6) frequency of collection. PHMSA will request a 3-year term of approval for each information collection activity and will publish a notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     upon OMB's approval. PHMSA requests comments on the following information collections: *Title:*
                     Cargo Tank Specification Requirements. *OMB Control Number:*
                     2137-0014. *Summary:*
                     This information collection consolidates and describes the information collection provisions in parts 107, 178, and 180 of the HMR 
                    ( print page 29626)
                    involving the manufacture, qualification, maintenance, and use of all specification cargo tank motor vehicles. It also includes the information collection and recordkeeping requirements for persons who are engaged in the manufacture, assembly, requalification, and maintenance of DOT specification cargo tank motor vehicles. The types of information collected include: (1) 
                    *Registration Statements:*
                     Cargo tank manufacturers and repairers, as well as cargo tank motor vehicle assemblers, are required to be registered with DOT and must furnish information relative to their qualifications to perform the functions in accordance with the HMR. DOT uses the registration statements to identify these persons to ensure they possess the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the required functions and that they are performing the specified functions in accordance with the applicable regulations. (2) 
                    *Requalification and Maintenance Reports:*
                     These reports are prepared by persons who requalify or maintain cargo tanks. This information is used by cargo tank owners, operators and users, and DOT compliance personnel to verify that the cargo tanks are requalified, maintained, and in proper condition for the transportation of hazardous materials. (3) 
                    *Manufacturers' Data Reports, Certificates, and Related Papers:*
                     These reports are prepared by cargo tank manufacturers and certifiers. They are used by cargo tank owners, operators, users, and DOT compliance personnel to verify that a cargo tank motor vehicle was designed and constructed to meet all requirements of the applicable specification.
