acknowledge receipt of their respective
comments must include a self-addressed
stamped postcard stating, ‘‘Comments
on OMB control number 2130–0526.’’
Alternatively, comments may be
transmitted via facsimile to (202) 493–
6216 or (202) 493–6497, or via email to
Mr. Brogan at [email protected], or
to Ms. Toone at [email protected].

comments received in response to this
notice in a subsequent notice and
include them in its information
collection submission to OMB for
approval.

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: Control of Alcohol and Drug
Use in Railroad Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0526.
Abstract: The information collection
requirements contained in preemployment and ‘‘for cause’’ testing
regulations are intended to ensure a
sense of fairness and accuracy for
railroads and their employees. The
principal information—evidence of
unauthorized alcohol or drug use—is
used to prevent accidents by screening
personnel who perform safety-sensitive
service. FRA uses the information to
measure the level of compliance with
regulations governing the use of alcohol
or controlled substances. Elimination of
this problem is necessary to prevent
accidents, injuries, and fatalities of the
nature already experienced and further
reduce the risk of a truly catastrophic
accident.
Form Number(s): FRA F 6180.73; FRA
F 6180.74.
Affected Public: Businesses.
