Board surveys all non-waybill
reporting railroads terminating traffic in the U.S. to determine
whether they meet the reporting requirements for inclusion in the
Annual Carload Waybill Survey. Our rules at 49 C.F.R. § 1244.2(f)
require Railroads not otherwise submitting waybill information to
report annually the number of carloads terminated, by State, for
the last calendar year. In addition, we seek revenue information
(on a voluntary basis) for the last three years. This also helps
the agency determine whether respondents are subject to other
statutory or regulatory requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
