announces that the Information

of Management and Budget (OMB) for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, Section 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 issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On April 20,
2011, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on this ICR for which the agency was
seeking OMB approval. 76 FR 22165.
FRA received no comments in response
to this notice.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires
OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30 day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR
1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the 30
day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
best ensure having their full effect. 5
CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995.
The summary below describes the
nature of the information collection
requirement (ICR) and the expected
burden for the ICR being submitted for
clearance by OMB as required by the
PRA.
Title: Implementation for Capital
Grants for Rail Line Relocation and
Improvement Projects.

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 to
$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
appropriated $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.
