Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA is
informing the public it has revised the
Annual Positive Train Control (PTC)

6180.166), which the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
previously approved on March 16, 2016,
for a period of 180 days, under its
emergency processing procedures. FRA
revised the Annual PTC Progress Report
Form based on comments it received
from industry stakeholders on a related
information collection, the Quarterly
PTC Progress Report Form (Form FRA F
6180.165). Before submitting this annual
information collection request to OMB
for regular clearance, FRA is soliciting
public comment on specific aspects of
the proposed information collection
identified below.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than August 22, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the following proposed activity by
mail to either: Mr. Robert Brogan, Office
of Safety, Planning and Evaluation
Division, RRS–21, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave.
SE., Mail Stop 17, Washington, DC
20590, or Ms. Kimberly Toone, Office of
Information Technology, RAD–20,
Federal Railroad Administration, 1200
New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 35,
Washington, DC 20590. Commenters
requesting FRA to acknowledge receipt
of their respective comments must

comments received in response to this
notice in a subsequent notice and
include the comments 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,

are not toll-free.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Public Comment Under the PRA
The PRA and its implementing
regulations 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. See
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) (1995); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a).
Specifically, FRA invites interested
respondents to comment on: (i) Whether
the information collection activity is
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activity will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activity, 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 the information
collection activity 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
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information. In
summary, FRA reasons that comments
received will advance three objectives:
(i) Reduce reporting burdens; (ii) ensure

E:\FR\FM\23JNN1.SGM

23JNN1

40939

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Notices
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.
II. Background on the Annual PTC
Reporting Requirement
Under the Positive Train Control
Enforcement and Implementation Act of
2015 (PTCEI Act), each railroad subject
to 49 U.S.C. 20157(a) must submit an
annual progress report to FRA by March
31, 2016, and annually thereafter, until
PTC implementation is completed. 49
U.S.C. 20157(c)(1). The PTCEI Act
specifically requires each railroad to
provide certain information in the
annual reports regarding its progress
toward implementing a PTC system, and
authorizes FRA to request that railroads
provide additional information in the
annual progress reports. See id. In
addition, 49 U.S.C. 20157(c)(2) requires
FRA to conduct compliance reviews at
least annually to ensure each railroad is
complying with its revised PTC
implementation plan (PTCIP). The
PTCEI Act requires railroads to provide
information to FRA that FRA
determines is necessary to adequately
conduct such compliance reviews. See
49 U.S.C. 20157(c)(2).

feedback. FRA published minutes from
the meeting on www.regulations.gov
under Docket No. FRA–2016–0002. For
a detailed summary of the oral and
written comments and FRA’s responses
to the comments, please see 81 FR
28140 (May 9, 2016).
The current Annual PTC Progress
Report Form, as approved through
September 30, 2016, can be accessed
and downloaded in FRA’s eLibrary at:
https://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/details/
L17366. To view the revised Annual
PTC Progress Report Form that FRA
hereby offers for public comment,
please see the form attached to this
Federal Register notice.
III. Overview of Information Collection
The associated collection of
information is summarized below. FRA
will submit this information collection
request to OMB for regular clearance as
required by the PRA.

Progress Report.

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

On March 16, 2016, OMB approved
the Annual PTC Progress Report Form
(Form FRA F 6180.166). However, based
on industry’s oral and written
comments on the proposed Quarterly
PTC Progress Report Form (Form FRA F
6180.165), FRA has revised the Annual
PTC Progress Report Form to be as
consistent with the quarterly report
form as possible (where the questions
overlap), thereby enabling railroads to
transfer information from the quarterly
report forms to the annual report forms
more easily. In summary, on April 12,
2016, the Association of American
Railroads (AAR) submitted comments to
FRA on behalf of itself and its member
railroads, and the American Public
Transit Association (APTA) submitted
comments to FRA on behalf of Metra,
the Utah Transit Authority, the TriCounty Metropolitan Transportation
District of Oregon, and the Fort Worth
Transportation Authority.
On April 19, 2016, FRA held a
meeting on the proposed Quarterly PTC
Progress Report Form to offer the
affected regulated entities a forum to
provide additional comments and
feedback to FRA. Representatives from,
and members of, AAR, APTA, the
American Short Line and Regional
Railroad Association (ASLRRA), and
some individual railroad representatives
attended the meeting and provided
