FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Andrews or Shelby Geller, 
Standards and Rulemaking Division, (202) 366-8553, Pipeline and 
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, U.S. Department of 
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590-0001.

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 an 
information collection request that PHMSA will be submitting to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for renewal and extension. This 
information collection is 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 collection was last approved. The 
following information is provided for this 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 this 
information collection activity and will publish a notice in the 
Federal Register upon OMB's approval.
    PHMSA requests comments on the following information collection:
    Title: Hazardous Materials Shipping Papers & Emergency Response 
Information.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0034.
    Summary: This information collection is for the requirement to 
provide a shipping paper and emergency response information with 
shipments of hazardous materials. Shipping papers are a basic 
communication tool in the transportation of hazardous materials and, by 
definition (see 49 CFR 171.8), include a shipping order, bill of 
lading, manifest, or other shipping document serving a similar purpose 
and containing the information required by Sec. Sec.  172.202, 172.203, 
and 172.204 of the HMR. A shipping paper with emergency response 
information must accompany most hazardous materials shipments and be 
readily available at all times during transportation.
    Shipping papers serve as the principal source of information 
regarding the presence of hazardous materials, identification, 
quantity, and emergency response procedures. They inform on compliance 
with other requirements (i.e., the placement of rail cars containing 
different hazardous materials in trains); prevent the loading of 
poisons with foodstuffs; maintain the separation of incompatible 
hazardous materials; and limit the amount of radioactive materials that 
may be transported in a vehicle or aircraft. Shipping papers and 
emergency response information also notify transport workers that 
hazardous materials are present and serve as a principal means of 
identifying hazardous materials during transportation emergencies. 
Firefighters, police, and other emergency response personnel are 
trained to obtain the DOT shipping papers and emergency response 
information when responding to hazardous materials transportation 
emergencies. The availability of accurate information concerning 
hazardous materials being transported significantly improves response 
efforts in these types of emergencies.
    Affected Public: Shippers and carriers of hazardous materials in 
commerce.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden:
    Number of Respondents: 260,000.
    Total Annual Responses: 175,234,493.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,598,685.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 13, 2018.

Associate Administrator of Hazard Materials Safety, Pipeline and 
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
