Title: Petitions for declaratory order.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0031.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Respondents: Affected shippers,
railroads, communities, and other
stakeholders that choose to seek a
declaratory order from the Board to
terminate a controversy or remove
uncertainty.
Number of Respondents:
Approximately 10.
Estimated Time per Response: 183
hours.
Frequency: On occasion. In calendar
years 2017–2019, approximately 10

with the Board per year.
Total Burden Hours (annually
including all respondents): 1,830 hours
(estimated hours per petition (183) ×

$12,360 (estimated non-hour burden
cost per petition ($1,236) × total number
of petitions (10)).
Needs and Uses: Under 5 U.S.C.
554(e) and 49 U.S.C. 1321, the Board
may issue a declaratory order to
terminate a controversy or remove
uncertainty. Because petitions for
declaratory order can encompass a
broad range of issues and types of
requests, the Board does not prescribe
specific instructions for their filing. The
collection by the Board regarding
petitions for declaratory order that
parties choose to file enables the Board
to meet its statutory duty to regulate the
rail industry.

(estimated hours per petition (25) × total
number of petitions (4)).
Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: $280
(estimated non-hour burden cost per
petition ($70) × total number of
petitions (four)).
Needs and Uses: Under 49 U.S.C.
1321 and 49 CFR part 1117 (the Board’s
catch-all petition provision), shippers,
railroads, and the public in general may
seek relief (such as waiver of the Board’s
regulations) not otherwise specifically
provided for under the Board’s other
regulatory provisions. Under section
1117.1, such petitions should contain
three items: (a) A short, plain statement
of jurisdiction, (b) a short, plain
statement of petitioner’s claim, and (c)
request for relief. The collection by the
Board of these petitions that parties
choose to file enables the Board to more
fully meet its statutory duty to regulate
the rail industry.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), federal agencies are
required to provide, prior to an agency’s
submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-day notice and comment
period through publication in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
