SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, § 2, 109 Stat.
163 (1995) (codified as revised at 44
U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
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 is a brief summary of the
currently approved information
collection request (ICR) that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA.
Title: Implementation for Capital
Grants for Rail Line Relocation and
Improvement Projects.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0578.
Abstract: Section 9002 of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59,
August 10, 2005) amends chapter 201 of
Title 49 of the United States Code by
adding section 20154. Section 20154
authorizes—but does not appropriate—
$350,000,000 per year for each of the
fiscal years (FY) 2006 through 2009 for
the purpose of funding a grant program
to provide financial assistance for local
rail line relocation and improvement
projects. Section 20154 directs the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
to issue regulations implementing this
grant program, and the Secretary has
delegated this responsibility to FRA. On
July 11, 2008, FRA published the final
rule intended to carry out that statutory
mandate.
Congress did not appropriate any
funding for the Program for FY 2006 or
FY 2007. In FY 2008, Congress
appropriated $20,145,000 for the
Program, reduced by rescission too
$20,040,200, $14,905,000 of which was
available for discretionary (competitive)
grants. After evaluating and scoring 37
applications, FRA awarded $14,315,300
to seven different projects, leaving
$589,700. In FY 2009, Congress
appropriate $25,000,000 and directed
that $17,100,000 be awarded to 23

specific projects, with $7,900,000 left
over discretionary grants. Subsequently,
in FY 2010, Congress appropriated
$34,532,000 for the Program, and
directed that $24,519,200 go to 27
specifically enumerated projects. FRA
combined the remaining $10,012,800
with $589,700 that was not awarded
from the FY 2008 competition,
$2,000,000 that was awarded to one of
the FY 2008 projects but which the
project sponsors ultimately turned

down, and the $7,900,000 in FY 2009
discretionary funding for a total of
$20,502,500. These funds were the
subject of a Notice of Funding
Availability FRA published in the
Federal Register on September 10, 2010.
The application period closed on
October 29, 2010, and FRA is currently
evaluating applications submitted. The
information collected will be used by
FRA to determine whether or not it is
appropriate to provide financial

assistance to State and local
governments looking to undertake either
rail relocation or rail improvement
projects.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.

Governments.
