[Docket No. FMCSA–2017–0006]

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Reinstatement of an
Information Collection: Practices of
Household Goods Brokers
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
reinstatement and approval and invites
public comment. The FMCSA requests
approval to reinstate, with changes, the
ICR titled ‘‘Practices of Household
Brokers’’ to no longer include one-time
costs previously incurred by brokers,
and to update other wage related costs
that have changed since the last
approval. This ICR requires
reinstatement because the previous ICR
expired on July 31, 2017, before the ICR
renewal request could be submitted to
OMB for approval. The reinstatement of
this ICR is necessary, and FMCSA’s
responsibility to ensure consumer
protection in the transportation of
household goods (HHG).
DATES: Please send your comments by
September 15, 2017. OMB must receive
your comments by this date in order to
act quickly on the ICR.
ADDRESSES: All comments should
reference Federal Docket Management
System (FDMS) Docket Number
FMCSA–2017–0006. Interested persons
are invited to submit written comments
on the proposed information collection
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There
were no comments received from the
60-day Federal Register notice (82 FR
14102) published on March 16, 2017.
Background: FMCSA amended thenexisting regulations for brokers in
response to Title IV, Subtitle B of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient,
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59)
and a petition for rulemaking from the
American Moving and Storage
Association (AMSA). The final rule,
titled ‘‘Brokers of Household Goods
Transportation by Motor Vehicles,’’ (75
FR 72987, Nov. 29, 2010), amended 49
CFR part 371, by providing additional
consumer protection responsibilities for
brokers of HHG. Specifically, section
4212 of SAFETEA–LU directs the
Secretary to require HHG brokers to
provide individual shippers with the
following information whenever a
broker has contact with a shipper or
potential shipper:
1. The broker’s USDOT number.
2. The FMCSA booklet titled ‘‘Your
Rights and Responsibilities When You
Move.’’
3. A list of all authorized motor
carriers providing transportation of
HHG used by the broker and a statement
that the broker is not a motor carrier
providing transportation of HHG.
The collection of information required
in the referenced final rule assists
shippers in their business dealings with
interstate HHG brokers. The information
collected is used by prospective
shippers to make informed decisions
about contracts, services ordered,
executed, and settled. The HHG broker
is often the primary contact for
individual shippers and in the best
position to educate shippers and
prepare them for a successful move. The

Jkt 241001

information collected makes that
possible. It also combats deceptive
business practices as the information
helps enforcement personnel better
protect consumers by verifying that
shippers are receiving information to
which they are entitled by regulation.
HHG brokers are required to provide
individual shippers the ‘‘Your Rights
and Responsibilities When You Move’’
booklet and the ‘‘Ready to Move’’
brochure. They have the option of
providing paper copies or presenting the
information through a link on their
Internet Web site. The broker is required
to document with signed receipts that
the individual shipper was provided
those materials. HHG brokers are also
required to provide the list of HHG
motor carriers for which it would
arrange transportation to move a
potential individual shipper’s HHG, and
that broker’s identification information:
1. Assigned USDOT number; and
2. Address.
With this renewal, FMCSA makes a
change to the collection to an
adjustment in estimate. A program
estimate change of 19,522 annual
burden hours is the result of the
removal of a 1,000 burden-hours that are
no longer applicable. There is also an
updated estimate in the number of
household goods brokers which also
contributes to the change of 19,522 in
the calculated burden hours.

Addressing Electrode-Induced Rail
Pitting From Pressure Electric Welding
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of draft Safety Advisory;
request for comment.
AGENCY:

This document provides
notice of FRA’s intent to issue a Safety
Advisory alerting railroads, contractors,
and the rail welding industry of the
potential for electrode-induced rail
pitting and fatigue cracking during the
pressure electric rail welding process.
Based on investigation and research,
FRA believes improper electrode
contact to the rail during the welding
process can result in electrode-induced
pitting that may lead to fatigue fracture
and ultimately rail failure. The draft
Safety Advisory includes
recommendations to help the industry
prevent electrode-induced rail pitting
and to inspect for and then remediate
such pitting if it occurs. FRA invites
public comment on all aspects of the
draft Safety Advisory.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on the draft Safety
Advisory provided below on or before
October 16, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments in response to
this notice may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
• Web site: The Federal eRulemaking
Portal, www.Regulations.gov. Follow the
Web site’s online instructions for
submitting comments.
• Fax: 202–493–2251.
