Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the Information
Collection Requirements (ICRs)
abstracted below have been forwarded
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and comment. The
ICRs describes the nature of the
information collections and their
expected burdens. The Federal Register
notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collections of information was
published on March 27, 2013 (78 FR
18672).
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before July 5, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Robert Brogan, Office of Planning and
Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 25,
Washington, DC 20590 (Telephone:

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 March 27,
2013, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on ICRs that the agency was seeking
OMB approval. See 78 FR 18672. FRA
received no comments after issuing this
notice. Accordingly, these information
collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12(c).
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
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The revised requirements are
being submitted for clearance by OMB
as required by the PRA.
Title: Filing of Dedicated Cars.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0502.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: Title 49, Part 215 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, prescribes
certain conditions to be followed for the
movement of freight cars that are not in
compliance with this Part. Dedicated
service means the exclusive assignment
of railroad cars to the transportation of
freight between specified points under
the following conditions: (1) The cars
are operated primarily on track that is
inside an industrial or other nonrailroad installation; and only
occasionally over track of a railroad; (2)
The cars are not operated at speeds of

more than 15 miles per hour; and over
track of a railroad—(A) for more than 30
miles in one direction; or (B) on a round
trip for more than 60 miles; (3) The cars
are not freely interchanged among
railroads; (4) The words ‘‘Dedicated
Service’’ are stenciled, or otherwise
displayed, in clear legible letters on
each side of the car body; and (5) The
cars have been examined and found safe
to operate in dedicated service. These
cars must be identified in a written
report to FRA before they are assigned
to dedicated service, and these reports
must be filed with FRA 30 days before
the cars operate in dedicated service.
FRA uses the information collected
under § 215.5(d) to determine the
number of railroads affected, the
number and type of cars involved, the
commodities being carried, and the
territorial and speed limits within
which the cars will be operated. FRA
reviews these reports to determine if the
equipment is safe to operate and if the
operation qualifies for dedicated
service. The information collected
indicates to FRA inspectors that the
particular or ‘‘dedicated’’ car is in
special service and that certain
exceptions have been provided for
regarding the application of this
regulation spelled out in § 215.3. Cars
not in compliance with § 215.5(d) will
be cited for violations by FRA
inspectors. The information collected is
also used by railroads to provide
identification and control so that
dedicated cars remain in the prescribed
service.
Annual Estimated Burden: 4 hours.
Title: Special Notice for Repairs.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0504.
Type of Request: Extension with
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): FRA F 6180.8; FRA F
6180.8a.
Abstract: The Special Notice for
Repairs is issued to notify the carrier in
writing of an unsafe condition involving
a locomotive, car, or track. The carrier
must return the form after repairs have
been made. The collection of
information is used by State and Federal
inspectors to remove freight car or
locomotives until they can be restored
to a serviceable condition. It is also used
by State and Federal inspectors to
reduce the maximum authorized speed
on a section of track until repairs can be
made.
Annual Estimated Burden: 20 hours.
Title: Remotely Controlled Switch
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0516.

VerDate Mar<15>2010

18:33 Jun 03, 2013

Jkt 229001

Type of Request: Extension with
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: Title 49, § 218.30 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
ensures that remotely controlled
switches are lined to protect workers
who are vulnerable to being struck by
moving cars as they inspect or service
equipment on a particular track or,
alternatively, occupy camp cars. FRA
believes that production of notification
requests promotes safety by minimizing
mental lapses of workers who are
simultaneously handling several tasks.
Sections 218.30 and 218.67 require the
operator of remotely controlled switches
to maintain a record of each notification
requesting blue signal protection for 15
days. Operators of remotely controlled
switches use the information as a record
documenting blue signal protection of
workers or camp cars. This record also
serves as a valuable resource for railroad
supervisors and FRA inspectors
monitoring regulatory compliance.
Annual Estimated Burden: 60,010
hours.
Title: Bad Order and Home Shop
Card.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0519.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: Under 49 CFR Part 215, each
railroad is required to inspect freight
cars placed in service and take the
necessary remedial action when defects
are identified. Part 215 defects are
specific in nature and relate to items
that have or could have caused
accidents or incidents. Section 215.9
sets forth specific procedures that
railroads must follow when it is
necessary to move defective cars for
repair purposes. For example, railroads
must affix a ‘‘bad order’’ tag describing
each defect to each side of the freight
car. It is imperative that a defective
freight car be tagged ‘‘bad order’’ so that
it may be readily identified and moved
to another location for repair purposes
only. At the repair point, the ‘‘bad
order’’ tag serves as a repair record.
Railroads must retain each tag for 90
days to verify that proper repairs were
made at the designated location. FRA
and State inspectors review all pertinent
records to determine whether defective
cars presenting an immediate hazard are
being moved in transportation.
Annual Estimated Burden: 15,750
hours.

these information collections to the

Comments are invited on the
following: Whether the proposed

clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collections of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
A comment to OMB is best assured of

notice in the Federal Register.
