Notice of information collection approval.
Summary
This notice announces Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval and extension until March 28, 2011 for an information collection request entitled "Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants," under OMB Control No. 2137-0586. This ICR was revised to implement a statutory provision authorizing PHMSA to request information from states concerning fees related to the transportation of hazardous materials. We are reserving these questions for use in a pilot project we are currently developing. In addition, this ICR was revised to include more detailed information from grantees to enable us to more accurately evaluate the effectiveness of the grant program in meeting emergency response planning and training needs. These questions are to be answered during the close-out procedures conducted and submitted at the end of the application cycle.
