practice, data, methods, and systems
used by state, metropolitan, regional,
local, and tribal transportation planning
entities to support their required
planning process in accordance with
Title 23 United States Code 134 and
135. This includes, but is not limited to,
information to support transportation
research, capacity building, data
collection, planning, travel modeling,
and performance management. This also
includes information about how data is
shared between planning agencies and
how it is processed and used in the
planning context. Questionnaires will
be sent to State DOT headquarters and
districts, Metropolitan Planning,
Organizations, Regional Planning
Organizations, and Tribal Governments.
FHWA anticipates that one
representative from each agency will
take approximately 30 minutes to
complete up to 4 questionnaires each
year. The questionnaires will be
administered via the Internet and
invitations to participate in the
questionnaire will be distributed via
email.
This information, once compiled, will
allow the FHWA to better understand
the existing capabilities that agencies
across the country have in support of
the planning process and the readiness
they possess to handle new and ongoing
challenges. As a result of the collected
information, FHWA will focus its efforts
and resources on providing targeted and
meaningful support for planning and
readiness nationwide. Additionally,
FHWA will ensure that excellent
planning practices are identified will be
shared broadly across the country.
Respondents: Respondents are
representatives of State DOT
headquarters and districts, Metropolitan
Planning, Organizations, Regional
Planning Organizations, and Tribal
Governments.
Respondents: 950 respondents
annually.
Frequency: 4 per year for 3 years.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Approximately 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Up to 1,900 hours annually.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
computer technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or

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 to
allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval to implement them. See 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). FRA invites
interested respondents to comment on
the following summary of proposed
information collection activities
regarding: (1) Whether the information
collection activities are necessary for
FRA to properly execute its functions,
including whether the activities will
have practical utility; (2) 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; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways for FRA to

reduce the administrative and
paperwork burdens associated with the
collection of information that Federal
regulations mandate. In summary, FRA
reasons that comments received will
advance three objectives: (1) Reduce

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

renewed clearance by OMB as required
under the PRA:
Title: Occupational Noise Exposure

conservation training programs that
protect railroad employees from the

damaging and potentially dangerous
effects of excessive noise in the
everyday rail environment.

OMB Control Number: 2130–0596.
Abstract: FRA’s conductor
certification regulation (49 CFR part
242) requires railroads to have a formal
program for certifying conductors. As
part of that program, railroads are
required to have a formal process for
training prospective conductors and
determining that all persons are
competent before permitting them to

serve as a conductor. FRA intended the
regulation to ensure that only those
persons who meet minimum Federal
safety standards serve as conductors.
FRA collects information to ensure that
railroads and their employees fully
comply with all the requirements of part
242, including a conductor certification/
recertification program, fitness

requirements, initial and periodic
testing of conductors, territorial
qualifications, etc.
