# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Background:*                     The data for the Transportation of Hazardous Materials; Highway Routing ICR is collected under authority of 49 U.S.C. 5112 and 5125. Specifically, 49 U.S.C. 5112(c) requires that the Secretary, in coordination with the States, “shall update and publish periodically a list of currently effective hazardous material highway route designations.”                

                    Under 49 CFR 397.73, the FMCSA Administrator has the authority to request that each State and Indian tribe, through its routing agency, provide information identifying hazardous materials routing designations within their jurisdictions. That information is collected and consolidated by FMCSA and published annually, in whole or as updates, in the                     **Federal Register**                    .                

*Title:*                     Transportation of Hazardous Materials, Highway Routing.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     2126-0014.                

*Type of Request:*                     Extension of a currently-approved information collection.                

*Respondents:*                     The reporting burden is shared by 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands.                

*Frequency:*                     Annually.                

*Estimated Average Burden per Response:*                     15 minutes.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     13 hours [51 annual respondents × 1 response × 15 minutes per response/60 minutes per response = 12.75 hours, rounded to 13 hours].                

*Public Comments Invited:*                     You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. The Agency will summarize or include your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
