Summary
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), PHMSA invites comments on proposed updates to the form used for reporting incidents that occur during the transportation of hazardous materials. PHMSA intends to request a revision of a currently approved information collection from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the Hazardous Materials Incident Report (DOT Form 5800.1; Form Approval OMB No. 2137-0039). Revisions include new data elements and clarifications of existing fields. PHMSA has also removed, simplified, or reorganized data elements to reduce the burden on filers and staff, alongside modernizing the form's visual layout. PHMSA encourages commenters to review a draft version of the new DOT Form 5800.1, which is provided as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file in the electronic Docket at regulations.gov. This draft of the new form does not replace the currently approved form. It is provided only for purposes of this notice and request for comments.
