SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
United Nations (UN) undertakes a
regular process for global reporting on,
and assessment of, the state of the
marine environment, including
socioeconomic aspects, the product of
which is called the World Ocean
Assessment (WOA). The first WOA was
completed in 2015, and the projected
completion date for the second WOA is
December 2020, with a goal of
documenting trends in the state of the
marine environment observed since the
publication of the first WOA. The
second WOA includes more than fifty
subjects grouped within four main
themes: Drivers of changes in the
marine environment; current state of the
marine environment and its trends;
trends in pressures on the marine
environment; and trends in management
approaches to the marine environment.
A scientific and technical summary will
integrate content to show linkages
through interdisciplinary subjects such

as human impacts, ecosystem services,
and habitats. More information
regarding the evolution and
methodology of the WOA can be found
at https://www.un.org/regularprocess/.
This spring, UN Member States will
have an opportunity to review the draft
WOA, which is expected to be
composed of 65 chapters and
subchapters (approximately fifteen
pages each) and a technical summary
(approximately 70 pages); the outline
(https://www.un.org/regularprocess/
sites/www.un.org.regularprocess/files/
outline_for_the_second_world_ocean_
assessment_rev.pdf) illustrates the very
wide range of expertise needed for such
a review. The Department of State
invites experts in relevant fields to
participate in the U.S. Government
review of the draft WOA.
A Review Coordination Team
composed of Federal scientists and
program managers will develop a
consolidated U.S. Government review
submission. Only comments received
via the web-based review and comment
system within the comment period will
be considered by the Review
Coordination Team for inclusion in the
U.S. Government review submission.

Total Burden Hours (annually
including all respondents): Three hours
(estimated hours per response (1) × total
number of responses (3)).
Total Annual ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’
Cost (such as start-up and mailing
costs): There are no non-hourly burden
costs for this collection.
Needs and Uses: Title XI of the FAST
Act, entitled ‘‘Passenger Rail Reform
and Investment Act of 2015,’’ gives the
Board jurisdiction to resolve cost
allocation and access disputes between
the National Railroad Passenger
Corporation (Amtrak), the states, and
potential non-Amtrak operations of
intercity passenger rail service. The
FAST Act directs the Board to establish
procedures for the resolution of these
disputes, ‘‘which may include the
provision of professional mediation
services.’’ 49 U.S.C. 24712(c)(2),
24905(c)(4). Under 49 CFR 1109.5, the
Board provides that parties to a dispute
involving the State-Sponsored Route
Committee or the Northeast Corridor
Committee may, by a letter submitted to
OPAGAC, request the Board’s informal
assistance in securing outside
professional mediation services. The
letter shall include a concise description
of the issues for which outside
professional mediation services are
sought. The collection by the Board of
these request letters enables the Board
to meet its statutory duty under the
FAST Act.
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. Section 3507(b) of
the PRA requires, concurrent with an
agency’s submitting a collection to OMB
for approval, a 30-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.
Dated: April 22, 2020.

minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,

information technology when
appropriate; and (4) whether the
collection of information is necessary

functions of the Board, including

Description of Collection
Title: Household Goods Movers’
Disclosure Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0027.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Respondents: Household goods
movers that desire to offer a rate
limiting their liability on interstate
moves to anything less than
replacement value of the goods.
Number of Respondents: 4,500 (This
is the approximate number of active
household goods carriers in the United
States according to the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration. See 2019
Pocket Guide to Large Truck and Bus
Statistics (January 2020) section 1–7
Household Goods Carriers and Brokers
Operating in the United States, 2014–
2018.))
Frequency: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: None. The
change to the estimate form was a onetime, start-up cost, which was
considered in the cost analysis of the
Board’s initial approval for this
collection. The Board’s initial request
for approval estimated that 15 of the
approximately 4,500 household goods
movers were large firms that print their
own forms and would have to produce
modified forms to meet the new
requirement. Further, any new large
mover entrants would have to create
forms based on other agency
regulations—with or without the
released rate disclosure—and, therefore,
there is no hourly burden for this
collection.
Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost:
Movers may provide these forms to
shippers electronically. Further, as with
the burden hours above, the one-time,
start-up costs that were previously
considered will no longer apply to
existing movers, and new entrants will
not incur any significant cost to add
released rate information to the forms
already required under other agency
regulations. Therefore, there is no
discernable, non-hourly cost burden for
this collection.
