Needs and Uses: Under the Board’s
regulations, persons may file complaints
before the Board pursuant to 49 CFR
part 1111 seeking redress for alleged
violations of provisions of the Interstate
Commerce Act, Public Law 104–88, 109
Stat. 803 (1995). The required content of
a complaint is outlined at 49 CFR
1111.1(a). In the last few years, the most
significant complaints filed at the Board
allege that railroads are charging
unreasonable rates or that they are
engaging in unreasonable practices. See,
e.g., 49 U.S.C. 10701, 10704, and 11701.
The collection by the Board of these
complaints, and the agency’s action in
conducting proceedings and ruling on
the complaints, enables the Board to
meet its statutory duty to regulate the
rail industry.
Collection Number 2
Title: Petitions for declaratory orders.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0031.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension with
change.
Respondents: Affected shippers,
railroads and communities that seek a
declaratory order from the Board to
terminate a controversy or remove
uncertainty.
Number of Respondents: 11.
Estimated Time per Response: 183
hours.
Frequency: On occasion. In 2015,
respondents filed 12 petitions of this
type with the Board.
Total Burden Hours (annually
including all respondents): 2,196 hours
(183 estimated hours per petition × total
number of petitions in 2015 (12)).
Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost:
$14,832 (estimated non-hour burden
cost per petition ($1,236) × total number
of petitions in 2015 (12)).
Needs and Uses: Under 5 U.S.C.
554(e) and 49 U.S.C. 1321, the Board
may issue a declaratory order to
terminate a controversy or remove
uncertainty. Because petitions for a
declaratory order cover a broad range of
requests, the Board does not prescribe
specific instructions for the filing of a
petition for declaratory order. The
collection by the Board of these
petitions for declaratory order enables
the Board to meet its statutory duty to
regulate the rail industry.
Collection Number 3
Title: Petitions for relief not otherwise
provided.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0030.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension with
change.
Respondents: Affected shippers,
railroads and communities that seek to

address transportation-related issues
under the Board’s jurisdiction that are
not otherwise specifically provided for
under the Board’s other regulatory
provisions.
Number of Respondents: Five.
Estimated Time per Response: 24.5
hours.
Frequency: On occasion. In 2015, five
petitions of this type were filed with the
Board.
Total Burden Hours (annually
including all respondents): 122.5
(estimated hours per petition (24.5) ×
total number of petitions in 2015 (five)).
Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: $350
(estimated non-hour burden cost per
petition ($70) × total number of
petitions in 2015 (five)).
Needs and Uses: Under 49 U.S.C.
1321 and 49 CFR part 1117 (the Board’s
catch-all petition provision), shippers,
railroads, and the public in general may
seek relief (such as petitions seeking
waivers of the Board’s regulations) not
otherwise specifically provided for
under the Board’s other regulatory
provisions. Under section 1117.1, such
petitions should contain three items: (a)
A short, plain statement of jurisdiction,
(b) a short, plain statement of
petitioner’s claim, and (c) request for
relief. The collection by the Board of
these petitions enables the Board to
more fully meet its statutory duty to
regulate the rail industry.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), federal agencies are
required to provide, prior to an agency’s
submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-day notice and comment
period through publication in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
Dated: November 22, 2016.
