This rule complies with a statutory mandate under section 420 of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. The information collected under this final rule is used by FRA to ensure that railroads operating camp cars comply with all of the requirements of this regulation in order to protect the health and safety of camp car occupants.
This is a revision to the previously approved collection of information associated with Subpart E to Part 228. The burden for this information collection has decreased by 14 hours from the last approved submission. The decrease in burden is solely the result of adjustments, which are delineated in the table provided in the answer to question number 15 of the attached Supporting Justification.
Total adjustments shown in the provided table decreased the burden by 14 hours and decreased the number of responses by 326.
The current OMB inventory for this information collection shows a total burden of 1,057 hours, while the present submission exhibits a total burden of 1,043 hours. Hence, there is a burden decrease of 14 hours.
Based on the revised estimates, the cost to respondents from the previous submission has decreased by $29.20 (from $15,820.20 to $15,791). The change in cost to respondents is solely due to an adjustment under section 228.331. Specifically, FRA estimates that zero (0) emergency preparedness plans will need to be developed and thus zero (0) copies distributed to NS camp car workers in this submission. Thus, the previously estimated copying cost of $29.20 will not be incurred.
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).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
