fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level
of safety than was maintained before it
was granted; or (3) continuation of the
exemption would not be consistent with
the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315. If the exemption is
still effective at the end of the 2-year
period, the person may apply to FMCSA

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Extension of a CurrentlyApproved Information Collection
Request: Revocation of Authority
Granted
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
FMCSA announces its plan to submit
the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. FMCSA requests
approval to extend an ICR titled,
‘‘Request Extension for Revocation of
Authority Granted.’’ This information
collection supports the DOT strategic
goal of safety by enabling registrants to
voluntarily request revocation of
operating authority, or some part of that
authority. A completed Form OCE–46 is
filed with FMCSA by the registrant for
requesting that all, or a part, of its
operating authority be revoked. The
information contained on the form is
used by FMCSA in deciding on the
revocation request. The use of Form
OCE–46 has proven to be an easy and
effective means by which a registrant
can request revocation of its operating
authority. No comments were received
in response to the 60-day notice
published in the Federal Register on
March 22, 2017 (82 FR 14792).
DATES: Please send your comments by
August 24, 2017. OMB must receive
your comments by this date to act
quickly on the ICR.

ADDRESSES:

Background
FMCSA registers for-hire motor
carriers of regulated commodities under
49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight
forwarders under 49 U.S.C. 13903, and
property brokers under 49 U.S.C. 13904.
Each registration is effective from the
date specified under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c).
Subsection (d) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 also
provides that on application of the
registrant, the Secretary may amend or
revoke a registration, and hence the
registrant’s operating authority. Form
OCE–46 allows registrants to apply
voluntarily for revocation of their
operating authority or parts thereof. If
the registrant fails to maintain evidence
of the required level of insurance
coverage on file with FMCSA, its

E:\FR\FM\25JYN1.SGM

25JYN1

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 25, 2017 / Notices
operating authority will be revoked
involuntarily. Although the effect of
both types of revocation is the same,
some carriers prefer to request voluntary
revocation. For various business
reasons, a registrant may request
revocation of some part, but not all, of
its operating authority.
This information collection supports
the DOT strategic goal of safety by
enabling registrants to voluntarily
request revocation of operating
authority, or some part of that authority.
A completed Form OCE–46 is filed with
FMCSA by the registrant for requesting
that all, or a part, of its operating
authority be revoked. The information
contained on the form is used by
FMCSA in deciding on the revocation
request. The use of Form OCE–46 has
proven to be an easy and effective
means by which a registrant can request
revocation of its operating authority.
Form OCE–46 is filed by registrants
on a voluntary, and for the most part,
one-time basis. It calls for a very limited
amount of information to identify the
registrant and the scope of its request.
Thus, the information collection itself
has not been automated, although the
information collected is ultimately
entered into an automated database. The
burden associated with this ICR is being
revised due to an anticipated increase in
the estimated number of annual filings
from 3,000 to 3,501 and to account for
the corresponding cost of notarizing and
mailing Form OCE–46.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for FMCSA to perform its
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA
to enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information.
Issued under the authority delegated in 49
CFR 1.87 on: July 18, 2017.
G. Kelly Regal,
Associate Administrator for Office of
Research and Information Technology.

Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation. (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and comment request.
AGENCY:

Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice
announces that FRA is forwarding the
Information Collection Request (ICR)
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The ICR describes
the information collection and its
expected burden.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before August 24, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of
Administration, Office of Information
Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington,
DC 20590 (Telephone: (202) 493–6132).
(This telephone number is not toll free.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
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), and 1320.12. On March 29,
2017, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on the ICR for which it is now seeking
OMB approval. See 82 FR 15417. FRA
received no comments in response to
this notice.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve this proposed collection 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 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.
The summary below describes the ICR
and its expected burden. FRA is
submitting the new request for clearance
by OMB as the PRA requires.
Title: Workforce Development (WFD)
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2130–NEW.
Abstract: The FRA has statutory
responsibility to ensure the safety of
railroad operations as prescribed in the
Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970 (49
U.S.C. 20103). To conduct safe railroad
operations, the workforce must have the
requisite skills to operate equipment
and technologies. Therefore, it is the
responsibility of the FRA to promote
workforce development policy and
standards to ensure the workforce has
the necessary skills and talent to
conduct safe railroad operations. Due to
an increasingly dynamic and maturing
workforce combined with changing
skills requirements imposed by newly
introduced technologies, there is an
increasing risk in not having the
necessary talent pools to fill critical
railroad operational positions. In 2011,
FRA published the first Railroad
Industry Modal Profile: An Outline of
the Railroad Industry Workforce Trends,
Challenges, and Opportunities, which
provided a comprehensive overview of
the railroad industry workforce as of
December 31, 2008. This document is
available to the public through the FRA
Web site. The Railroad Industry Modal
Profile was a response to the DOT
National Transportation Workforce
Development Initiative that required
each DOT Operating Administration to
produce an analysis of its industry
workforce.
The prevailing workforce concerns
during the early stages of the DOT
National Transportation Workforce
Development Initiative were the large
number of retirement-eligible employees
in transportation related fields and the
national shortage of science, technology,
engineering, and math graduates. Since
the railroad industry had done very
little hiring in the late 1980s and
throughout most of the 1990s, the
retirement-eligible population became
quite large, even beyond that of most
other industries and transportation
modes (each of which were also
grappling with similar retirement
population concerns).
These concerns create risk in
maintaining a viable workforce, and to
take effective and efficient action to
minimize these risks, FRA requires
trustworthy information on current
WFD strategies and challenges. Initial
