of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The ICRs
describes the nature of the information

DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before December 24, 2015.

(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 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 September 21,
2015, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on ICR that the agency was seeking
OMB approval. See 80 FR 57044. 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 are being 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.
Below is a brief summary of the
information collection activities that
FRA will submit for clearance by OMB
as required under the PRA:
Title: Grant Awards and Cooperative
Agreements.
Abstract: FRA solicits grant
applications for viable projects
including, but not limited to,
preconstruction planning activities,
safety improvements, congestion relief,
improvement of grade crossings, rail
line relocation, as well as projects that
encourage development, expansion, and
upgrades to passenger and freight rail
infrastructure and services. Funded
projects are those that meet FRA and
government wide evaluation standards
and align with the President’s key
strategic transportation goals to create
safe and efficient transportation choices,
build a foundation for economic
competitiveness, promote energy
efficiency and environmental quality,
and support interconnected livable
communities.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 226 / Tuesday, November 24, 2015 / Notices
FRA administers award agreements
for both construction and nonconstruction projects that will result in
service benefits or other tangible
improvements in rail corridors. These
projects include completion of
preliminary engineering, environmental
research and development, final design,
and construction.
To ensure accountability of Federal
award recipients through performance
and results, including expenditures in
support of agreed-upon activities and
allowable costs outlined in a FRA
Notice of Grant Award (NGA), FRA
requires systematic and uniform
collection and submission of
information, as approved by the OMB.
Included in this information collection
are reports and documentation
mandated by OMB for completion, as
well as additional resources to compile
evidence relevant to addressing FRA’s
important policy challenges, promoting
cost-effectiveness in FRA programs, and
providing effective oversight of
programmatic and financial
performance. This justification draws on
innovative FRA program designs to use
sophisticated practices in delivering
Federal financial assistance and
encourage continuous improvements in
service delivery.
FRA issues and manages awards in
compliance with Title 2 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR): Grants and
Agreements. This justification includes
one document package for collection
over the entire lifecycle of the award
process, in adherence to the Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards (78 FR 78589, Dec. 26,
2013; 79 FR 75871, Dec. 19, 2014). All
non-research awards are subject to the
application, reporting, closeout, and
other processes described in this
justification.
Additionally, the collection detailed
in this justification represents a
combination of previous FRA collection
requests, including: OMB Control
Number 2130–0578, OMB Control
Number 2130–0580, OMB Control
Number 2130–0584, and OMB Control
Number 0587. Combining these
collections under a new collection
enables FRA to consolidate
documentation under one collection,
which allows for efficiency and
provides a uniform period until
expiration of this justification request.
Form Number(s): FRA forms 30, 31,
32, 33, 34, 35, and 229. SF forms 270,
424, 424A, 424B, 424C, 424D, 425, and
LLL.
Affected Public: State and local
governments, government sponsored

authorities and corporations, and
railroads.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
39,521 hours.
Pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5
CFR 1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FRA
informs all interested parties that it may
not conduct or sponsor, and a
respondent is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
