update and publish periodically a list of currently effective hazardous
material highway route designations.''
Under 49 CFR 397.73, the FMCSA Administrator has the authority to
request that each State and Indian tribe, through its routing agency,
provide information identifying hazardous materials routing
designations within their jurisdictions. That information is collected
and consolidated by FMCSA and published annually, in whole or as
updates, in the Federal Register.
Title: Transportation of Hazardous Materials, Highway Routing.
OMB Control Number: 2126-0014.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: The reporting burden is shared by 50 States, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 13 hours [51 annual
respondents x 1 response x 15 minutes per response/60 minutes per
response = 12.75 hours, rounded to 13 hours].
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance

information collection.
