The licensee should identify safe havens along the route at routine intervals generally not exceeding 50 miles. If intervals greater than 50 miles are proposed, the licensee should provide justification for the greater distance. Also, safe havens should be as close to the highway as possible, easily accessible by the transportation vehicle, controlled, and well lit. Examples of possible safe havens include truck stops, rest areas, military installations, highway patrol barracks, and weigh stations. Unless specifically approved by the State, hospitals, public libraries, and schools are not acceptable safe havens. The mile marker or exit number corresponding to each safe haven along the entire route in each State should be identified and incorporated into the detailed route plan tables. 2.1.2.3. Mapping Requirements The licensee should provide a summary map that identifies the origination and destination facilities and the complete route that will be used for the shipment. In addition, the licensee should provide detailed individual State maps of the planned route and any alternate routes, indicating the locations of identified stops, boundary lines of any reservations of participating Tribes along the route, and the safe havens that have been coordinated with the State(s) through which the shipment will pass. Maps should be part of the word processing files or images easily integrated into the final approval document. 2.1.2.4. Contact Information The route approval request should include the contact information for each LLEA jurisdiction along the planned route and, if applicable, the citizens band radio channels that each LLEA typically monitors. The licensee should provide the following: • Twenty-four hour contact information available throughout the United States for the LLEAs responsible for every participating Tribe’s reservation and county in each State along the route. • Twenty-four hour, 10-digit emergency telephone number available throughout the United States for each State along the route. • Contact information for the governor’s designee and participating Tribal official’s designee for advance notification of SNF shipments for the route segment in each State and participating Tribe’s reservation along the route. As part of the review, the staff will verify that the contact information is correct and current. Both the transport (i.e., driver and escorts) and the movement control center (see Section 2.4.1) will use the contact information. In addition to the telephone numbers listed above, an emergency number, such as 911, may be provided as a secondary number for the transport. However, the licensee should demonstrate in its application that its method of communication (e.g., cell phone, satellite phone) will reach the correct en-route 911 emergency response center. The licensee should demonstrate that an en-route 911 call will not be misdirected, thereby resulting in a delay of emergency response. As stated earlier, routes will be approved for use over many years. However, during the approval period, State and participating Tribe contact information may change. Before each shipment of SNF, the licensee is responsible for ensuring that all the contact information along the route is current. Updating contact information is considered a change that does not reduce
