Procedures

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department 
of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice provides the most current revisions to the 
National Hazardous Materials Route Registry (NHMRR) and procedures to 
facilitate the update of the NHMRR by State and Tribal government 
routing agencies. The NHMRR is a listing, as reported by States and 
Tribal governments, of all designated and restricted road and preferred 
highway routes for transportation of highway route controlled 
quantities (HRCQ) of Class 7 radioactive materials (RAM) (HRCQ/RAM) and 
non-radioactive hazardous materials (NRHMs).

DATES: Effective date: August 8, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 
    Mr. Vincent Babich (202) 366-4871, or [email protected], 
Hazardous Materials Division, Office of Enforcement and Compliance, 
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., 
Washington, DC 20590. Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., E.T., 
Monday through Friday, except for Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Paragraphs (a)(2) and (b) of section 5112 of title 49, United 
States Code (U.S.C.) permit States and Tribal governments to designate 
and limit highway routes over which HRCQ/RAM and NRHM may be 
transported, provided that the State or Tribal government complies with 
standards prescribed by the Secretary of Transportation (the Secretary) 
and meets publication requirements in section 5112(c). To establish 
standards under paragraph (b), the Secretary must consult with the 
States, and, under section 5112(c), coordinate with the States to 
publish periodically a list of currently effective HRCQ/RAM and NRHM 
highway routing designations and restrictions. The requirements that 
States and Tribal governments must follow to establish, maintain, or 
enforce routing designations for the transport of placardable 
quantities of NRHM are set forth in 49 CFR part 397, subpart C. Subpart 
D of part 397 sets out the requirements for designating preferred 
routes for HRCQ/RAM shipments as an alternative, or in addition, to 
Interstate System highways. For HRCQ/RAM shipments, Sec.  397.101 
defines a preferred route as an Interstate Highway for which no 
alternative route is designated by the State; a route specifically 
designated by the State; or both. See Sec.  397.65 for the definition 
of ``NRHM'' and ``routing designations.''
    Under a delegation from the Secretary,\1\ FMCSA has authority to 
implement 49 U.S.C. 5112.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 49 CFR 1.87(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, 49 CFR part 397, subpart C, (Routing of NRHM) and 
subpart D (Routing of Class 7 RAM) address the routing requirements and 
procedures that State and tribal government are required to follow. 
Section 397.73 establishes public information and reporting 
requirements for NRHM. States or Tribal governments are required to 
furnish information regarding any new or changed routes to FMCSA within 
60 days after establishment. Under 49 CFR 397.103, a State routing 
designation for HRCQ/RAM routes (preferred routes) as an alternative, 
or in addition, to an Interstate System highway, is effective when the 
authorized routing agency provides FMCSA with written notification, 
FMCSA acknowledges receipt in writing, and the route is published in 
FMCSA's Hazardous Material Route Registry. The Office of Management and 
Budget has approved these collections of information under control 
number 2126-0014, Transportation of Hazardous Materials, Highway 
Routing. This notice serves only to provide the most current updates to 
the NHMRR, and to communicate to States and Tribal government routing 
agencies procedures to facilitate timely reporting and efficient update 
of the NHMRR as required by 49 U.S.C. 5112 and 49 CFR part 397; it does 
not establish any new public information and reporting requirements.

Procedural Changes

    Section 33013 of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 
Act of 2012 (MAP-21) [Pub. L. 112-141, July 6, 2012, 126 Stat. 405, 
839] amended 49 U.S.C. 5112(c), which addresses the form, manner, and 
timetable for State and Tribal Governments to issue and update routing 
information for

commercial motor vehicles transporting hazardous material in commerce 
for which DOT regulations require placarding of the vehicle .In October 
2014, FMCSA published a Technical Amendments Rule that included 
amendments to 49 CFR 397.69 to address section 33013 of the statute [79 
FR 59450; October 2, 2014]. Among the amendments was a State reporting 
requirement to include the name of the agency responsible for the 
highway route designations, and another to clarify that any State- or 
Tribal-government-designated route is effective only after publication 
in the NHMRR. This notice further addresses the form and manner for 
updating this information by establishing a procedure for updating the 
NHMRR in accordance with the statute and regulations.

Updates to the NHMRR

    The most up-to-date version of the NHMRR, was published in the 
Federal Register on April 29, 2015 (80 FR 23860) and can be accessed on 
the internet at: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry. Further, this 
Web page provides a link to http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry-state 
which provides the Route Registry listing of each individual State and 
Tribal government as well as information on the official routing 
agency. This information, available for use by the routing agencies as 
well as the general public, is presented, in three formats; a 
spreadsheet, a PDF file, and as available, an interactive map. In 
addition, FMCSA has established an internet mailbox at 
[email protected] to facilitate communication with routing agencies.
    While the route designation reporting requirements of 49 CFR 397.73 
and 397.103 do not provide a specific procedure to follow whenever 
there is change in routing designations, the FMCSA is providing the 
following procedure to facilitate State and Tribal government routing 
agencies in updating their Route Registry listing:
    1. From http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry-state, open the appropriate 
Route Registry spreadsheet for your jurisdiction.
    2. Modify the spreadsheet as necessary following the instructions 
on the Web page and the spreadsheet.
    3. Revisions made to the spreadsheet cannot be saved directly to 
the Web page. The revised spreadsheet must be saved to a different 
location.
    4. Forward the revised spreadsheet file as an attachment to an 
email to [email protected]; Or forward a printout of the revised 
spreadsheet via certified mail (return receipt requested) to FMCSA, 
Office of Enforcement and Compliance (MC-EC), 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., 
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Attention: National Hazardous Materials 
Route Registry.
    5. FMCSA will acknowledge via email the receipt of all changes 
received via the ``HM Routing'' internet mailbox.
    6. FMCSA will publish the revisions as a Notice in the Federal 
Register and incorporate the revisions, as applicable, into the 
appropriate State or Tribal Government Route Register spreadsheet, PDF 
file, and map posted on the National Hazardous Materials Route Registry 
Web page.

Revisions to the National Hazardous Materials Route Registry

    Since FMCSA published the NHMRR in a Notice on April 29, 2015 (80 
FR 23860), the State of California has notified the FMCSA of the 
following revisions to their Route Registry:

Table 16.--California--Restricted HM routes
    Route Order designator ``I'' is revised.
Table 1.--California--Designated HRCQ/RAM routes
    Route Order designator ``A'' is revised.
    Route Order designator ``B1'' is revised.
    Route Order designator``B2'' is revised.
    Route Order designator ``F1'' is revised.
    Route Order designator ``B6A-2.0-A is added and assigned a ``P'' 
designation.
    Route Order designator ``H'' is added and assigned a ``P'' 
designation.

    In accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR 397.73 and 397.103, 
the Route Registry listings for the State of California, as published 
in Tables 16 and 17 are being revised. The following revised tables 
reflect the most current Route Registry listings for the State of 
California and supersede and replace the corresponding tables of the 
April 29, 2015 notice. The changes to the listings contained in the 
following tables are also reflected in the information posted on the 
internet at http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry. No other States submitted 
changes.
