Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:

Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, this notice
announces that FRA is forwarding the
Information Collection Requests (ICRs)
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. These ICRs
describe the information collections and
their expected burdens. On March 16,
2020, FRA published a notice providing
a 60-day period for public comment on
the ICRs.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before June 22,
2020.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICRs
should be sent within 30 days of
publication of this notice to
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
Find the particular ICR by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad
Safety, Regulatory Analysis Division,
Federal Railroad Administration, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590.
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 March 16, 2020,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
the ICRs for which it is now seeking
OMB approval. See 85 FR 15020. 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: Railroad Communications.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0524.
Abstract: This collection of
information is used by FRA to promote
safety in rail operations and to ensure
compliance by railroads and their
employees with all the requirements set

forth in 49 CFR part 220. FRA amended
its radio standards and procedures to
promote compliance by making the
regulations more flexible; require
wireless communications devices,
including radios, for specified
classifications of railroad operations and
roadway workers; and retitle this part to
reflect its coverage of other means of
wireless communications, such as
cellular telephones and data radio
terminals, to convey emergency and
need-to-know information. The
amended rule established safe, uniform
procedures covering the use of radio
and other wireless communications
within the railroad industry.
Type of Request: Extension with
change (revised estimates) of a currently
approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Form(s): N/A.
Respondent Universe: 746 railroads.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Responses:

Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour
Dollar Cost Equivalent: $7,288,552.
Title: Passenger Train Emergency
Systems.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0576.
Abstract: This information collection
is due to passenger train emergency
systems regulations under 49 CFR part
238. The purpose of this part is to
prevent collisions, derailments, and
other occurrences involving railroad
passenger equipment that cause injury
or death to railroad employees, railroad
passengers, or the general public, and to
mitigate the consequences of such
occurrences to the extent they cannot be
prevented.
In its final rule issued on November
29, 2013 (see 78 FR 71785), FRA added
requirements for emergency passage
through vestibule and other interior
passageway doors and enhanced
emergency egress and rescue signage
requirements. FRA also established
requirements for low-location
emergency exit path markings to assist
occupants in reaching and operating
emergency exits, particularly under
conditions of limited visibility.
Moreover, FRA added standards to
ensure emergency lighting systems are
provided in all passenger cars and
enhanced requirements for the
survivability of emergency lighting
systems in new passenger cars.
Type of Request: Extension with
change (revised estimates) of a currently
approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses
(railroads).

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

I. Background

[Docket No. TREAS–DO–2020–0007]

Treasury continually seeks to finance
the government at the lowest cost over
time, manage its liability profile, foster
healthy secondary markets, and expand
the investor base for Treasury securities.
Treasury is examining potential new
products in pursuit of these goals.
Following substantial analysis and
consideration of input from market
participants, in 2014 Treasury began
issuing FRNs indexed to the 13-week
Treasury bill rate (13-week T-bill FRNs).
Since their launch, Treasury has issued
more than $1.1 trillion of 13-week T-bill
FRNs. A Treasury analysis released in
2017 showed that issuing 13-week T-bill
FRNs had reduced realized interest
costs by $1.3 billion (when compared to
2-year fixed-rate notes).1

Development and Potential Issuance of
Treasury Floating Rate Notes Indexed
to the Secured Overnight Financing
Rate
Department of the Treasury.
Notice and request for
information.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The Department of the
Treasury (Treasury) is requesting
comments on the possibility of issuing
a floating rate note (FRN) indexed to the
Secured Overnight Financing Rate
(SOFR) published by the SOFR
Administrator, currently the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY).
Treasury has not made a decision
whether to issue FRNs indexed to SOFR
(SOFR-indexed FRNs). Treasury will
continue to weigh the merits of SOFRindexed FRNs, and comments received
as part of this request for information
