FRA also uses the collection of
information to verify railroads have
established required certification
programs for locomotive engineers and
that those programs fully conform to the
standards specified in the regulation.

quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to

The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 1320,
Rulemaking Procedures, require Federal
agencies to provide 60 days’ notice to
the public for comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5
CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1), and
1320.12(a). Specifically, FRA invites
interested respondents to comment on
the following summary of proposed
information collection activities
regarding: (1) Whether the information
collection activities are necessary for
FRA to properly execute its functions,
including whether the activities will
have practical utility; (2) 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; (3) ways FRA
can enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways FRA can
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); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes soliciting public
comment will promote its efforts to
reduce the administrative and
paperwork burdens associated with the
collection of information Federal
regulations mandate, including: (1)
Reducing reporting burdens; (2)
organizing information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) accurately assessing the
resources expended to retrieve and
produce information requested. See 44
U.S.C. 3501.
Below is a brief summary of the
proposed ICR that FRA will submit for
OMB approval as required under the
PRA:

entities pose to railroad bridge safety
and aid in planning bridge safety
oversight activities and allocating
resources.
