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 activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:

Title: Railroad Trespasser Death
Study.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0563.
Abstract: Trespasser deaths on
railroad rights-of-way and other railroad
property are the leading cause of
fatalities attributable to railroad
operations in the United States. In order
to address this serious issue, interest
groups, the railroad industry, and
government (Federal, State, and local)
must know more about the individuals
who trespass. With such knowledge,
specific educational programs,
materials, and messages regarding the
hazards and consequences of
trespassing on railroad property can be
developed and effectively distributed.
Due to the lack of available
demographic data, FRA proposes to
conduct a follow-up study to the one
released in 2008 titled, Rail Trespasser
Fatalities; Developing Demographic
Profile. That study used a private
contractor to obtain additional
demographic data for the time period of
2003–2005 from local county medical
examiners so as to develop a general,
regional profile of ‘‘typical’’ trespassers
in order to target audiences with
appropriate education and enforcement
campaigns that will reduce the annual
number of injuries and fatalities.
Form Number(s): FRA F 6180.117.
Affected Public: Businesses.
