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

DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before July 19, 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:

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 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 18668. 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: Stenciling Reporting Mark on
Freight Cars.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0520.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: Title 49, Section 215.301 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, sets
forth certain requirements that must be
followed by railroad carriers and private
car owners relative to identification
marks on railroad equipment. FRA,
railroads, and the public refer to the
stencilling to identify freight cars.
Annual Estimated Burden: 18,750
hours.
Title: Rear-End Marking Devices.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0523.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: The collection of
information is set forth under 49 CFR
Part 221 which requires railroads to
furnish a detailed description of the
type of marking device to be used for
the trailing end of rear cars in order to
ensure rear cars meet minimum
standards for visibility and display.
Railroads are required to furnish a
certification that the device has been
tested in accordance with current
‘‘Guidelines For Testing of Rear End
Marking Devices.’’ Additionally,
railroads are required to furnish detailed
test records which include the testing
organizations, description of tests,
number of samples tested, and the test
results in order to demonstrate
compliance with the performance
standard.
Annual Estimated Burden: 39 hours.
Title: Locomotive Certification (Noise
Compliance Regulations).
OMB Control Number: 2130–0527.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Locomotive
Manufacturers.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: Part 210 of title 49 of the
United States Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) pertains to FRA’s
noise enforcement procedures which
encompass rail yard noise source
standards published by the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). EPA has the authority to set these
standards under the Noise Control Act
of 1972. The information collected by
FRA under Part 210 is necessary to
ensure compliance with EPA noise
standards for new locomotives.

Annual Estimated Burden: 2,767
hours.
Title: Grade Crossing Signal System
Safety Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0534.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): FRA F 6180.83.
Abstract: FRA believes that highwayrail grade crossing (grade crossing)
accidents resulting from warning system
failures can be reduced. Motorists lose
faith in warning systems that constantly
warn of an oncoming train when none
is present. Therefore, the fail-safe
feature of a warning system loses its
effectiveness if the system is not
repaired within a reasonable period of
time. A greater risk of an accident is
present when a warning system fails to
activate as a train approaches a grade
crossing. FRA’s regulations require
railroads to take specific responses in
the event of an activation failure. FRA
uses the information to develop better
solutions to the problems of grade
crossing device malfunctions. With this
information, FRA is able to correlate
accident data and equipment
malfunctions with the types of circuits
and age of equipment. FRA can then
identify the causes of grade crossing
system failures and investigate them to
determine whether periodic
maintenance, inspection, and testing
standards are effective. FRA also uses
the information collected to alert
railroad employees and appropriate
highway traffic authorities of warning
system malfunctions so that they can
take the necessary measures to protect
motorists and railroad workers at the
grade crossing until repairs have been
made.
Annual Estimated Burden: 8,152
hours.
Title: Bridge Worker Safety Rules.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0535.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: Section 20139 of Title 49 of
the United States Code required FRA to
issue rules, regulations, orders, and
standards for the safety of maintenanceof-way employees on railroad bridges,
including for ‘‘bridge safety equipment’’
such as nets, walkways, handrails, and
safety lines, and requirements for the
use of vessels when work is performed
on bridges located over bodies of water.
FRA has added 49 CFR Part 214 to
establish minimum workplace safety
standards for railroad employees as they
apply to railroad bridges. Specifically,

PO 00000

Frm 00076

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

section 214.15(c) establishes standards
and practices for safety net systems.
Safety nets and net installations are to
be drop-tested at the job site after initial
installation and before being used as a
fall-protection system; after major
repairs; and at six-month intervals if left
at one site. If a drop-test is not feasible
and is not performed, then a written
certification must be made by the
railroad or railroad contractor, or a
designated certified person, that the net
does comply with the safety standards
of this section. FRA and State inspectors
use the information to enforce Federal
regulations. The information that is
maintained at the job site promotes safe
bridge worker practices.
Annual Estimated Burden: 1 hour.
Title: Railroad Police Officers.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0537.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: Under 49 CFR Part 207,
railroads are required to notify states of
all designated police officers who are
discharging their duties outside of their
respective jurisdictions. This
requirement is necessary to verify
proper police authority.
Annual Estimated Burden: 181 hours.
Title: Foreign Railroads’ ForeignBased (FRFB) Employees Who Perform
Train or Dispatching Service in the
United States.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0555.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: The collection of
information is used by FRA to
determine compliance of FRFB train
and dispatching service employees and
their employers with the prohibition
against the abuse of alcohol and
controlled substances. Because of the
increase in cross-border train operations
and the increased risk posed to the
safety of train operations in the United
States, FRA seeks to apply all of the
requirements of 49 CFR 219 to FRFB
train and dispatching service
employees. The basic information—
evidence of unauthorized use of drugs
and alcohol—is used by FRA to help
prevent accidents/incidents by
screening FRFB who perform safetysensitive functions for unauthorized
drug or alcohol use. FRFB train and
dispatching service employees testing
positive for unauthorized use of alcohol
and drugs are removed from service,
thereby enhancing safety and serving as
a deterrent to other FRFB train and
dispatching service employees who

E:\FR\FM\19JNN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 19, 2013 / Notices
might be tempted to engage in the
unauthorized use of drugs or alcohol.
Annual Estimated Burden: 33 hours.
Addressee: Send comments regarding
these information collections to the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street NW.,
Washington, DC, 20503, Attention: FRA
Desk Officer.
Comments are invited on the
following: Whether the proposed
collections of information are necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Department, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
Department’s estimates of the burden of
the proposed information collections;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
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
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.
