Hazardous Materials: Information Collection Activities

Notice and request for comments.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice announces that the Information Collection Requests (ICRs) discussed below will be forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for renewal and extension. These ICRs describe the nature of the information collections and their expected burdens. A Federal Register notice and request for comments with a 60-day comment period on these ICRs was published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2026 (91 FR 4172) under Docket No. PHMSA-2026-0199 (Notice No. 2026-04). PHMSA received one comment in response to the 60-day notice from the Railway Safety Institute (RSI) regarding OMB Control Number 2137-0559, "Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks-- Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail" (expiring September 30, 2027). However, PHMSA is not addressing the renewal of this OMB Control Number in today's notice. Instead, RSI's comments will be addressed either through a separate 30-day notice or in conjunction with responding to the proposals in the HM-265 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).\1\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
