[Docket No. FRA 2015–0007–N–21]

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

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
its implementing regulations, the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
hereby announces that it is seeking an
extension for the following currently
approved information collection
activities. On July 24, 2015, FRA
received Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for its
Emergency Processing request for the
collection of information titled Positive
Train Control (PTC) Implementation
Status Update Questionnaire. The
information collection activities
associated with the PTC Questionnaire
received a six-month emergency
approval from OMB and expires on
January 31, 2016. FRA seeks a regular
clearance (extension of the current
approval for three additional years) so
that its personnel can continue to
monitor affected railroads
implementation of Positive Train
Control on their mainline systems
beyond the statutory and regulatory
deadline of December 31, 2015.
Additionally, FRA needs to continue to
collect this information for compliance
purposes and to help inform grant
decisions by its Office of Railroad Policy
and Development. Before submitting
these information collection
requirements for clearance by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB), FRA
is soliciting public comment on specific
aspects of the activities identified
below.

SUMMARY:

Comments must be received no
later than October 5, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on any or all of the following proposed
activities by mail to either: Mr. Robert
Brogan, Office of Safety, Planning and
Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal

Toone, Office of Information
Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave.

Alternatively, comments may be

Mr. Brogan at [email protected], or

Please refer to the assigned OMB control

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.

Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New

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 the following: (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

E:\FR\FM\05AUN1.SGM

05AUN1

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 150 / Wednesday, August 5, 2015 / Notices
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 the
currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will

PTC System Certification and operate in
revenue service. So that Congress and
FRA may better understand the status of
each railroad’s implementation efforts
and be able to monitor affected railroads
progress on a continuing basis until full
implementation is achieved, FRA is
seeking accurate and up-to-date
information under its investigative
authority pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 20103,
20107, and 20902, and 49 CFR
236.1009(h). The railroads’ responses
will also be used for compliance
purposes.

Questionnaire.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0612.
Abstract: The statutory and regulatory
deadline for Positive Train Control
(PTC) system implementation is
December 31, 2015. Congress and FRA
are concerned that the railroads will not

the vast majority of railroads have not
submitted, in accordance with 49 CFR
236.1009 and 236.1015, a PTC Safety
Plan (PTCSP) and have not submitted,
in accordance with 49 CFR 236.1035, a

certain model year (MY) 2000 East
Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited
Double Decker Tri-Axle buses (with
Volvo B7L Chassis) that were not
originally manufactured to comply with
all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS) are eligible
for importation into the United States
because they have safety features that
comply with, or are capable of being
altered to comply with, all applicable
FMVSS.
DATES: This decision became effective
on July 30, 2015.
ADDRESSES: For further information
contact George Stevens, Office of
Vehicle Safety Compliance, NHTSA
(202–366–5308).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C 30141(a)(1)(B),a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided its safety features
comply with, or are capable of being
altered to comply with, all applicable
FMVSS based on destructive test data or
such other evidence that NHTSA
decides to be adequate.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may
be submitted by either manufacturers or
importers who have registered with
NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As
specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an
opportunity to comment on the petition.

At the close of the comment period,
NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has
received, whether the vehicle is eligible
for importation. The agency then
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
US Specs, of Havre de Grace,
Maryland (‘‘US Specs’’) (Registered
Importer No. RI–03–321), petitioned
NHTSA to decide whether MY 2000
East Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited
Double Decker Tri-Axle buses (with
Volvo B7L Chassis) are eligible for
importation into the United States.
NHTSA published a notice of the
petition on January 26, 2015 (80 FR
4033) to afford an opportunity for public
comment. No comments were received.
The reader is referred to that notice for
a thorough description of the petition.
NHTSA Conclusions
NHTSA has reviewed the petition and
supporting information submitted by US
Specs and has concluded that the
vehicles covered by the petition have
safety features that are capable of being
altered to comply with all applicable
FMVSS.
NHTSA has also determined that
because the subject vehicles were
manufactured in two or more stages, any
Registered Importer (RI) that imports the
subject vehicles must provide separate
proof that the chassis and the body of
each vehicle are the originals used by
East Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited
when manufacturing the bus for the
subject model year. Such proof shall be
provided as part of the statement of
