Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Robert Brogan, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad
Safety, Regulatory Analysis Division,
Federal Railroad Administration, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, Room W33–497,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202)

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.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8
through 1320.12. On February 22, 2019,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
the ICRs for which it is now seeking
OMB approval. See 84 FR 5807. FRA
received no comments in response to
this notice.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 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.

Comments are invited on the
following ICRs regarding: (1) Whether
the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
information 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 to minimize the
burden of information collection
activities on the public, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
The summaries below describe the
ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Safety Appliance Standards
Guidance Checklist Forms.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0565.
Abstract: Sample car/locomotive
inspections are performed upon request
as a courtesy to the car manufacturers to
ensure that the equipment is built in
accordance with the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). Car manufacturers
that desire to have FRA review their
equipment for compliance with the CFR
may submit their request to FRA for
review at least 60 days prior to initial
construction. Although a sample car
inspection is not required, most car
manufacturers today request the
inspection. By helping ensure that
rolling stock equipment is built
compliant with the CFR, the sample car
inspection program reduces the safety
risk to railroad employees, passengers,
and the general public.
In an ongoing effort to conduct more
thorough and effective inspections of
freight railroad equipment and to
further enhance safe rail operations,
FRA has developed a group of guidance
checklist forms that facilitate railroad,
rail car owner, and rail equipment
manufacturer compliance with 49 CFR
part 231, Railroad Safety Appliance
Standards. Because 49 CFR part 231 was
supplemented and expanded several

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 104 / Thursday, May 30, 2019 / Notices
years ago, FRA developed Forms FRA F
6180.161(a)–(k) to cover new types of
cars. For these new types of cars, FRA
follows the standard established by the
Association of American Railroads
(AAR), Standard 2044 or S–2044.
A car manufacturer’s request to FRA
for a sample car inspection generally
includes a logo, company name,
signature block, specific drawings,
reflectorization application, and
engineering information, such as test or
modeling of components. In addition,
the request may include car reporting
marks and the number of cars that
would be constructed in the car series.
The request would also provide the
inspection location, contact person,
title, and contact information. The
request typically contains several
paragraphs explaining the cited
regulations that the car manufacturer
believes are related to the car
construction. For the many cars built
today considered cars of special
construction, detailed information
explaining the similarities between the
car being built and the nearest car type
identified in the regulation is provided
to help determine which regulatory
requirements are applicable. Based on
the information submitted, a formal onsite inspection may be required. FRA
reviews the information and responds to
the car manufacturer.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
information collection.
Affected Public: Businesses (Car
manufacturers).
Form(s): FRA F 6180.161(a)–(k).
Respondent Universe: Car
manufacturers/state inspectors.
Frequency of Submission: Annually.

Title: System for Telephonic
Notification of Unsafe Conditions at
Highway-Rail and Pathway Grade
Crossings.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0591.
Abstract: The collection of
information is set forth under 49 CFR
part 234, Grade Crossing Safety,
implementing Section 205 of the Rail
Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA),
Public Law 110–432, Div. A (Oct. 16,
2008). Generally, the rule is intended to
increase safety at highway-rail and
pathway grade crossings. Section 205 of
the RSIA mandates that the Secretary of
Transportation require certain railroad
carriers to take a series of specified
actions related to setting up and using
systems by which the public can notify

the railroads by toll-free telephone
number of safety problems at their
highway-rail and pathway grade
crossings. Such systems are commonly
known as Emergency Notification
Systems or ENS. The information
collected is used by FRA to ensure that
railroad carriers establish and maintain
a toll-free telephone service to report
unsafe conditions at public and private
highway-rail and pathway grade
crossings for rights-of-way over which
they dispatch trains.
Type of Request: Extension with
change (revised estimates) of a currently
approved information collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.

Respondent Universe: 625 Railroads.
Frequency of Submission: On

Dollar Cost Equivalent: $1,091,934.
Title: Control of Alcohol and Drug
Use in Railroad Operations: PostAccident Toxicological Testing for
Controlled Substances.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0598.
Abstract: Since 1985, as part of its
accident investigation program, FRA has
conducted post-accident alcohol and
drug tests on railroad employees who
have been involved in serious train
accidents (50 FR 31508, Aug. 2, 1985).
If an accident meets FRA’s criteria for
post-accident testing (see 49 CFR
219.201), FRA conducts tests for alcohol
and for certain drugs classified as
controlled substances under the
Controlled Substances Act (CSA), Title
II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse
Prevention Substances Act of 1970
(CSA, 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.). The Drug
Enforcement Agency, which is primarily
responsible for enforcing the CSA,
oversees the classification of controlled
substances into five schedules.
Schedule I contains illicit drugs, such as
heroin, which has no legitimate medical
use under Federal law. Currently, FRA
routinely conducts post-accident tests
for the following controlled substances:
marijuana, cocaine, phencyclidine, and
certain opioids, amphetamines,
barbiturates, and benzodiazepines.
Controlled substances are drugs or
chemicals that are prohibited or strictly
regulated because of their potential for
abuse or addiction. FRA reports results
of testing for controlled substances to
the railroad’s Medical Review Officer
(MRO) and the employee, and the MRO
must review positive results and report
results of the review to FRA. (See 49
CFR 219.211(b) and (c)).
