Federal Agency Seeks Input on Paperwork Tied to Haz-Cargo Hauling
Regulation · Nov 11 · By Truker
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is asking the public to weigh in on the reporting burdens linked to two federal approval numbers governing dangerous goods shipping. The agency plans to ask the White House's Office of Management and Budget to continue both authorizations for another term. The outreach follows requirements set out in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The points
- 1PHMSA is opening a comment window on paperwork requirements connected to moving dangerous goods.
- 2Two separate OMB control numbers are covered by the request.
- 3The agency intends to ask OMB to renew and extend both numbers.
- 4The solicitation is carried out under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
- 5Interested parties, including those in the hauling sector, can submit feedback on the information collections.
Why it matters
Continued OMB approval of these two control numbers determines whether PHMSA can keep requiring the associated information collections tied to hazardous materials transportation.
