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.
Needs and Uses: In the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users, § 4215, Public Law 109–59, 119
Stat. 1144, 1760 (2005), Congress
directed the Board to review consumer
protection regulations concerning the
loss or damage that occurs during
interstate household goods moves. In
Docket No. RR 999, the Board required
household goods motor carriers and
freight forwarders wishing to offer a rate
limiting their liability on interstate
moves to anything less than
replacement value of the goods to
provide their customers with clear
written information concerning the two
available cargo-liability options (a full
replacement-value protection option
and a lower, released-rate protection
option). Movers are required to provide
this information on the standard written
estimate form that the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration requires
movers to provide to their household
goods moving customers. See 49 CFR
375.213. This information allows for
early notice to household goods moving
customers regarding the two liability
options, as well as adequate time and
information to help consumers decide
which option to choose. If the customer
elects anything other than full-value
protection, the mover must inform the
customer of his or her rights and obtain
a signed waiver, as provided on the
form. In doing so, this collection enables
the Board to meet its statutory duty.
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.

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

FAST Act.

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
petitions for declaratory order were filed
with the Board per year.
Total Burden Hours (annually

$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
