SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 2009 Business Relocation
Assistance Retrospective Study.
Background: Among benefits
included in relocation assistance under
the Uniform Act is a payment, not to
exceed $10,000, to assist displaced
businesses in reestablishing at a new
location. The Uniform Act also includes
a fixed payment for moving expenses
not to exceed $20,000 in lieu of the
payments for actual reasonable moving
and reestablishment related expenses.
The Uniform Act benefit levels were last
revised in 1989. Since that time,
displaced business moves have become
increasingly complex and costly. HEPR,
the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) and several States have done
recent research into the costs born by
businesses that are required to relocate
as a result of federally funded projects
and programs. The general conclusion is
that the Uniform Act benefit levels are
inadequate. For example the GAO
recently reported on the need for an
update of benefit levels in Eminent
Domain, Information about its Uses and
Effect on Communities and Property
Owners Is Limited (GAO–07–28). The
report communicates in several points,
including discussions on pages 4 and
16, that Uniform Act benefits available
to business are considered inadequate
by interviewees.

The data collected utilizing the
following interview document would
identify the name, location and type of
business; actual costs that a business
incurs which would be reimbursable if
not for the statutory maximum
reestablishment expenses or the
additional in-lieu eligibility that a
business would be eligible to receive as
well as the amount of the relocation
assistance the business received as a
reimbursement through the relocation
program.
Interviews with selected participants
will be conducted over a one-year
period.
Respondents: Approximately 300
participants to be interviewed in one
year.
Frequency: One collection from each
participant.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Approximately 4 hours per
participant over a year.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 1200 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 FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
electronic technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or
include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.

for comment on information collection

VerDate Nov<24>2008

FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(I)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(I)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below are brief summaries of three
currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Filing of Dedicated Cars.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0502.
Abstract: Title 49, Part 215 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, prescribes
certain conditions to be followed for the
movement of freight cars that are not in
compliance with this Part. Dedicated
service means the exclusive assignment
of railroad cars to the transportation of
freight between specified points under
the following conditions: (1) The cars
are operated primarily on track that is
inside an industrial or other nonrailroad installation; and only
occasionally over track of a railroad; (2)
The cars are not operated at speeds of
more than 15 miles per hour; and over
track of a railroad—(A) for more than 30
miles in one direction; or (B) on a round
trip for more than 60 miles; (3) The cars
are not freely interchanged among
railroads; (4) The words ‘‘Dedicated
Service’’ are stenciled, or otherwise

displayed, in clear legible letters on
each side of the car body; and (5) The
cars have been examined and found safe
to operate in dedicated service. These
cars must be identified in a written
report to FRA before they are assigned
to dedicated service, and these reports
must be filed with FRA 30 days before
the cars operate in dedicated service.
FRA uses the information collected
under § 215.5(d) to determine the
number of railroads affected, the
number and type of cars involved, the
commodities being carried, and the
territorial and speed limits within
which the cars will be operated. FRA
reviews these reports to determine if the
equipment is safe to operate and if the
operation qualifies for dedicated
service. The information collected
indicates to FRA inspectors that the
particular or ‘‘dedicated’’ car is in
special service and that certain
exceptions have been provided for
regarding the application of this
regulation spelled out in § 215.3. Cars
not in compliance with § 215.5(d) will
be cited for violations by FRA
inspectors. The information collected is
also used by railroads to provide
identification and control so that
dedicated cars remain in the prescribed
service.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Respondent Universe: 728 railroads.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion.
Total Estimated Responses: 4.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 4
hours.
Status: Extension of a Currently
Approved Collection.
Title: Hours of Service Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0005.
Abstract: The collection of
information is due to the railroad hours
of service regulations set forth in 49 CFR
Part 228 which require railroads to
collect the hours of duty for covered
employees, and records of train
movements. Railroads whose employees
have exceeded maximum duty
limitations must report the
circumstances. Also, a railroad that has
developed plans for construction or
reconstruction of sleeping quarters
(Subpart C of 49 CFR Part 228) must
obtain approval of the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) by filing a
petition conforming to the requirements
of Sections 228.101, 228.103, and
228.105.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Respondent Universe: 720 railroads.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion; monthly.
