correspondence submitted. FRA will
summarize comments received in
response to this notice in a subsequent
notice and include them in its
information collection submission to
OMB for approval.
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 17,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202)

Office of Information Technology, RAD–
20, Federal Railroad Administration,
1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 35,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202)
493–6132). (These telephone numbers
are not toll-free.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, sec. 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
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to

determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of currently
approved information collection
activities that FRA will submit for
clearance by OMB as required under the
PRA:
Title: Inspection Brake System Safety
Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment (Power
Brakes and Drawbars).
OMB Control Number: 2130–0008.
Abstract: Section 7 of the Rail Safety
Enforcement and Review Act of 1992,
Public Law 102–365, amended Section
202 of the Federal Railroad Safety Act
of 1970 (45 U.S.C. 421, 431 et seq.),
empowered the Secretary of

Transportation to conduct a review of
the Department’s rules with respect to
railroad power brakes and, where
applicable, prescribe standards
regarding dynamic brake equipment. In
keeping with the Secretary’s mandate
and the authority delegated from him to
the FRA Administrator, FRA issued
revisions to the regulations governing
freight power brakes and equipment in
October 2008 by adding a new subpart
addressing electronically controlled
pneumatic (ECP) brake systems. The
revisions are designed to provide for
and encourage the safe implementation
and use of ECT brake system
technologies. These revisions contain
specific requirements relating to design,
interoperability, training, inspection,
testing, handling defective equipment
and periodic maintenance related to
ECP brake systems. The final rule also
identifies provisions of the existing
regulations and statutes where FRA is
proposing to provide flexibility to
facilitate the voluntary adoption of this
advanced brake system technology. The
collection of information is used by FRA
to monitor and enforce current
regulatory requirements related to
power brakes on freight cars as well as
the recently added requirements related
to ECP brake systems. The collection of
information is also used by locomotive
engineers and road crews to verify that
the terminal air brake test has been
performed in a satisfactory manner.

FTA is extending the
comment period for the notice of
request for comments, which was
published on August 19, 2014. The
original comment period closed on
September 18, 2014. The extension is
based on concerns expressed to FTA
that the September 18 closing date did
not provide sufficient time to review
and provide comprehensive comments
on two of the proposed changes. FTA
agrees that the comment period for these
two proposed changes should be
extended. Therefore, FTA has extended
the comment period by 30 days from the
original deadline to October 20, 2014.
Additionally, FTA will continue to
accept and review comments arriving
after the extended deadline to the fullest
extent practicable. This extension will
provide those interested in commenting
additional time to discuss, evaluate, and
submit responses to the docket.
DATES: The comment period for the
proposed rule published on August 19,
2014 (79 FR 49146), is extended.
Comments must be received on or
before October 20, 2014. Any comments
filed after this deadline will be
considered to the extent practicable.
ADDRESSES: Please submit your
comments by only one of the following
methods, identifying your submission
by Docket Number (FTA–2014–0006).
