[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 154 (Thursday, August 9, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 39500-39504] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-17060] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration National Hazardous Materials Route Registry AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Notice; revisions to the listing of designated and restricted routes for hazardous materials. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This notice provides revisions to the National Hazardous Materials Route Registry (NHMRR) reported to the FMCSA as of March 31, 2018. The NHMRR is a listing, as reported by States and Tribal governments, of all designated and restricted roads 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: Applicable date: August 9, 2018. 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., ET., Monday through Friday, except for Federal holidays. Legal Basis and Background Under 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 5112, sections (a)(2) and (b), States and Tribal governments are permitted to designate and limit highway routes over which hazardous materials (HM) may be transported, provided 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 section (b), the Secretary must consult with the States, and, under section (c), coordinate with the States to ``update and publish periodically'' a list of currently effective HM 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 NRHMs are set forth in title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 397, subpart C. Subpart D of part 397 sets forth the requirements for designating preferred routes for HRCQ/RAM shipments as an alternative, or in addition, to Interstate System highways. For HRCQ/RAM shipments, section 397.101(b)(1) 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 section 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 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 National 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. In this notice, FMCSA is merely performing the ministerial function of updating and publishing the NHMRR [[Page 39501]] based on input from its State and Tribal partners under 49 U.S.C. 5112(c)(1). Accordingly, this notice serves only to provide the most recent revisions to the NHMRR; it does not establish any new public information and reporting requirements. Updates to the NHMRR FMCSA published the full NHMRR in a Federal Register Notice on April 29, 2015 (80 FR 23859). Since publication of the 2015 notice, FMCSA published one update to the NHMRR in a Federal Register Notice on August 8, 2016 (81 FR 52518). This notice provides revisions to the NHMRR, reported to the FMCSA from August 8, 2016 through March 31, 2018. The revisions to the NHMRR listings in this notice supersede and replace corresponding NHMRR listings published in the April 29, 2015 notice and corresponding revisions to the NHMRR listings published in the August 8, 2016 notice. Continue to refer to the April 29, 2015 notice for additional background on the NHMRR and the August 8, 2016 notice for the procedures for State and Tribal government routing agencies to update their Route Registry listings and contact information. The full current NHMRR for each state is posted on the FMCSA's internet website at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry. Revisions to the NHMRR in This Notice In accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR 397.73 and 397.103, the NHMRR is being revised as follows: The FMCSA Division field office contact information for each state is no longer listed in the NHMRR. This information is available on the internet at the FMCSA's website at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/mission/field-offices. In addition, the contact information for each State and Tribal Government routing agency is no longer listed in the NHMRR. This information is also available on the internet at the FMCSA's website at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry-state. The removal of this information from the NHMRR eliminates the presentation of redundant information and will streamline the future maintenance and update of the NHMRR. Table 2--California--Designated HRCQ/RAM routes Route Order Designator ``A'' is revised. The FMCSA Quality Assurance (QA) Comment is removed. Route Order Designator ``B1'' is revised. The FMCSA QA Comment is removed. Route Order Designator ``B3'' is revised to correct an editorial error. Route Order Designator ``B5'' is revised. Route Order Designator ``B5B'' is added and assigned a ``P'' designation. Route Order Designator ``B5B-1.0'' is added and assigned a ``P'' designation. Route Order Designator ``B5B-2.0'' is added and assigned a ``P'' designation. Table 3.--California--Designated NRHM routes Route Order Designator ``A1'' is revised. Route Order Designator ``A2'' (Designation ``B'') is revised. Route Order Designator ``A2A'' is revised. Route Order Designator ``A4B-1.0'' is revised.

Route Order Designator ``A4B-4.0'' is added and assigned a ``B'' designation. Route Order Designator ``A11P-2.0-I'' is revised. Route Order Designator ``A11P-2.0-M'' is revised. Route Order Designator ``A12P-2.0-J1'' is revised to correct an editorial error. Route Order Designator ``A12P-2.0-M1'' is removed. Route Order Designator ``A12P-2.0-M2'' is removed.

Route Order Designator ``C1'' is removed. Route Order Designator ``C2'' is removed. Route Order Designator ``C3'' is removed. Route Order Designator ``D'' is removed. Table 4.--Pennsylvania--Restricted HM Routes Route Order Designators ``E'', ``F'', ``G'', and ``P'' are revised to provide the current internet address for the Pennsylvania Turnpike website. Table 5.--Virginia--Restricted HM routes Route Order Designators ``D'', ``E'', ``F'', ``G'', and ``H''. The referenced internet addresses are updated. Table 6.--Wyoming--Restricted HM Routes Route Order Designator ``A'' is revised to remove obsolete references to the CFR. Route Order Key Each listing in the NHMRR includes codes to identify each route designation and each route restriction reported by the State Designation codes identify the routes along which a driver may or must transport specified HM. Among the designation codes is one for ``preferred routes,'' which is defined in Sec. 397.101(b)(1) \2\ and applies to transporting ``a highway route controlled quantity of Class 7 (radioactive) materials.'' Restriction codes identify the routes along which a driver may not transport specified HM shipments. Table 1 presents information on each restriction and designation code. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ 49 CFR 397.101(b)(1) defines ``preferred route'' as, ``an Interstate System highway for which an alternative route is not designated by a State routing agency; a State-designated route selected by a State routing agency pursuant to Sec. 397.103; or both.''
