The Hours of Service Act specifies the maximum hours and conditions of proper rest for employees engaged in one or more critical categories of work. FRA uses the information collected to both monitor compliance with and to enforce these safety regulations. In August 2011, FRA amended its Hours of Service recordkeeping regulations to add substantive Hours of Service reuglations, including maximum on-duty periods, minimum off-duty periods, and other limitations for train employees (e.g., locomotive engineers and conductors) providing commuter and intercity rail passenger transportation.

The burden for this collection of information has decreased by 14,462 hours from the last approved submission. The change in burden is due solely to adjustments. The adjustments are reflected in the table included in the answer to question number 15 of the attached Supporting Justification. Adjustments shown in the provided table decreased the burden by a total of 14,462 hours and decreased the number of responses by a total of 16,351. The current OMB inventory for this information collection shows a total burden of 3,529,267 hours, while the present submission reflects a total burden of 3,514,805 hours. Hence, there is a burden decrease of 14,462 hours. The cost to respondents exhibits a decrease of $106,500 from the previous submission. This decrease in costs is solely the result of adjustments. Specifically, the first year cost for programming modifications for computer software (based on the FAST model) for the biomathematical model of fatigue that railroads used for employee work schedules of $75,000 and initial program training cost of $50,000 have already been incurred. Thus, there remain the ongoing costs of $15,000 for training and support ($7,500 for training and $7,500 for support) plus $11,000 in costs for maintenance of the IT electronic database for the Hours of Duty Records ($10,000) and for postage/miscellaneous expenses ($1,000). The previous submission shows a total cost to respondents of $132,500 while the present submission displays a total cost to respondents of $26,000. Hence, there is decrease in costs of $106,500.
