Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 213 / Monday, November 8, 2021 / Proposed Rules and small organizations. The DOT posts its implementing guidance on a dedicated web page.49
This rulemaking has been developed in accordance with Executive Order 13272 and DOTs procedures and policies to promote compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act to ensure that potential impacts of draft rules on small entities are properly considered. As explained above, PHMSA expects that the temporary suspension of the LNG by Rail final rule proposed herein will not have a significant economic impact generally, much less a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. However, PHMSA solicits comments on the anticipated economic impacts to small entities.

security planning requirements.
Following publication of the LNG by Rail final rule, PHMSA published both a 60-day 50 and 30-day 51 notice and comment to provide an opportunity for public comment on the estimated increase in burden. PHMSA did not receive comments to either notice.
Subsequently, PHMSA submitted the revision to OMB and received approval for the increased burden. As PHMSA
proposes a temporary suspension of the authorization to ship LNG by rail tank car, as was codified in the LNG by Rail final rule, PHMSA estimates this rulemaking would result in a decrease in the burden associated with additional rail transportation safety and security planning requirements. The following reflects this estimated decrease in burden:
