SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
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

activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. See

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 that soliciting public comment
will advance three objectives: (1)
Reduce reporting burdens; (2) ensure
that it organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) 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 be
submitting for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Alleged Violation Reporting
Form.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0590.
Abstract: The Alleged Violation
Reporting Form is a response to section
307(b) of the Rail Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 that requires FRA to
‘‘provide a mechanism for the public to
submit written reports of potential
violations of Federal railroad safety and
hazardous materials transportation laws,
regulations, and orders to the Federal
Railroad Administration.’’ The Alleged
Violation Reporting Form allows the
general public to submit alleged
violations directly to FRA. The form’s
goal is to allow FRA to collect
information necessary to investigate the
alleged violation and to follow up with
the submitting party.
The Alleged Violation Reporting Form
collects the name, phone number, and
email address of the person submitting
the alleged violation; the preferred
method by which to contact the person;
the railroad or company name that
committed the alleged violation; the
date and time the alleged violation
occurred; the location the alleged
violation occurred; and details about the
violation. All information is voluntary.
FRA will collect the information
through a form on the FRA public Web
site. FRA may share the information
collected with FRA employees, State
department of transportation partners,
and law enforcement agencies.
Form Number(s): FRA F 6180.151.
Affected Public: U.S. Residents.
Respondent Universe: 1,000
individuals.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion.

determine the estimates; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and

minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or

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. In summary, FRA
reasons that comments received will
advance three objectives: (1) Reduce
reporting burdens; (2) organize
information collection requirements in a
‘‘user-friendly’’ format to improve the
use of such information; and (3)
accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of the
proposed ICRs that FRA will submit for
OMB clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Remotely Controlled Switch
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0516.
Abstract: Upon notification of work to
be performed on a track a remotely
controlled switch provides access to, 49
CFR 218.30 and 218.77, require
remotely controlled switch operators to
ensure the switches are properly lined
to protect workers vulnerable to being
struck by moving cars as they inspect or
service rolling equipment on the track
or occupy camp cars on the track. FRA
believes the required notifications
promote safety by minimizing mental
lapses of workers who are
simultaneously handling several tasks.
Sections 218.30 and 218.77 require
operators of remotely controlled
switches to maintain a record of each
notification requesting Blue Signal
Protection for 15 days. Operators of
remotely controlled switches use the
information as a record documenting
Blue Signal Protection of workers or
camp cars. This record also serves as a
valuable resource for railroad
supervisors and FRA inspectors
monitoring regulatory compliance.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
