SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, sec. 2, 109
Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised at
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
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
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; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
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)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of currently
approved information collection
activities that FRA will submit for
clearance by OMB as required under the
PRA:
Title: Safety and Health Requirements
Related to Camp Cars.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0595.
Abstract: To carry out a 2008
Congressional rulemaking mandate,
FRA issued new regulations on October
31, 2011. See 76 FR 67073. New subpart
E of part 228 prescribed minimum
safety and health requirements for camp
cars that a railroad provides as sleeping
quarters to any of its train employees,
signal employees, and dispatching
service employees (covered-service
employees) and individuals employed
to maintain its right of way.
Under separate but related statutory
authority, FRA also amended its
regulations at 49 CFR part 228, subpart
C regarding construction of employee
sleeping quarters. In particular, FRA’s
existing guidelines with respect to the
location, in relation to switching or
humping of hazardous material, of a
camp car that is occupied exclusively by
individual’s employed to maintain a
railroad’s right of way are being
replaced with regulatory amendments
prohibiting a railroad from positioning
such a camp car in the immediate
vicinity of the switching or humping of
hazardous material.
Finally, FRA made miscellaneous
changes to part 228, clarifying its
provision on applicability, removing an
existing provision on the pre-emptive
effect of part 228 as unnecessary, and
moving, without changing, an existing
provision on penalties for violation of
part 228 from subpart B to subpart A.
The information collected under this
rule is used by FRA to ensure that
railroads operating camp cars comply
with all the requirements mandated in
this regulation in order to protect the
health and safety of camp car occupants.

CFR Part 541 and Procedures for

542 (OMB Clearance Number 2127–
0539).
OMB Number: 2127–0539.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection
Abstract: The Motor Vehicle
Information and Cost Savings Act was
amended by the Anti-Car Theft Act of
1992 (Pub. L. 102–519). The enacted
Theft Act requires specified parts of
high-theft vehicle to be marked with
vehicle identification numbers. In a
final rule published on April 6, 2004,
the Federal Motor Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard (49 CFR Part 541)
was extended to include all passenger
cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles
and light duty trucks (LDTs) determined
to be high-theft (with a gross vehicle
weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less)
and light duty trucks having major parts
that are interchangeable with a majority
of the covered major parts of a passenger
motor vehicle subject to the theft
prevention standard. Each major
component part must be either labeled
or affixed with the VIN, and its
replacement component part must be
marked with the DOT symbol, the letter
(R) and the manufacturers’ logo.
The final rule became effective
September 1, 2006.
The 1984 Theft Act, as amended by
ACTA, requires NHTSA to promulgate a
theft prevention standard for the
designation of high-theft vehicle lines.
The specific lines are to be selected by
agreement between the manufacturer
and the agency. If there is a
disagreement of the selection, the
statute states that the agency shall select
