Abstract: This request for an ICR extension consists of mandatory reporting. State and Indian tribes are required to provide information to the FMCSA identifying all non-radioactive hazardous materials routing designations (highways) which exist within their jurisdictions. FMCSA requires that States and Indian tribes notify the FMCSA if they establish, modify, maintain, or enforce non-radioactive hazardous materials highway routing designations, so that FMCSA can then publish the information in the Federal Register and on the FMCSA website at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov. FMCSA estimates there will be an average of one response every two years per State/U.S. Territory/Indian tribe and FMCSA publishes this information annually so carriers of placarded non-radioactive hazardous materials will have knowledge of the restrictions. Several States the District of Columbia, an Indian tribe, and U.S. Territories have designated/restricted highway routes and/or imposed restrictions or limitations affecting the highway transportation of certain hazardous materials. While these localized routing designations are intended to improve safety, the proliferation of uncoordinated State and local routing designations could impede the free flow of commerce, have little or no demonstrable positive effect on public safety, and result in the exportation of risk from one jurisdiction to another. The FMCSA estimates that 100% of the States and Indian tribes that are providing the information do so electronically. States that are presently restricting/designating routes are using various technologies to collect and organize this information. The FMCSA utilizes a computer system to store and retrieve the routing information. This enables FMCSA to provide routing information as mandated by statute.
