June 25, 2020, FR Notice (30-Day)

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 123 / Thursday, June 25, 2020 / Notices
Meeting Agenda
The MCSAC will take up the
following issues:
• Task 20–1 will provide the MCSAC
with the opportunity to discuss changes
to the package and small goods delivery
sector. A number of companies are now
using small vehicles (e.g., vehicles with
a gross vehicle weight rating less than
10,000 pounds, etc.) to deliver goods
and there appears to be a gap in safety
oversight of both drivers and vehicles.
For this task, members will hear from
Agency experts on trends in the Fatality
Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and
Motor Carrier Management Information
System (MCMIS) crash and highway
safety data.
• Task 20–2 will focus on the impact
of the aging demographic of the
commercial motor vehicle driver
workforce on the truck and bus
industries and whether this trend will
exacerbate the driver shortage problem.
Stakeholders have expressed concerns
about the need to address the driver
shortage, including options for allowing
younger drivers to enter the industry.
How would an aging workforce impact
motor carriers’ ability to deliver services
and goods safely in interstate
commerce? For this task, FMCSA will
consider data by agency experts on the
distribution of age among CMV drivers.
• Additionally, FMCSA will brief the
MCSAC members on the impact of the
legalization of hemp on the safety
oversight of CMV drivers. While
FMCSA’s safety regulations prohibit
drivers’ use or transportation of illegal
drugs, what actions should be
considered to ensure motor carriers,
drivers and enforcement officials have
appropriate guidance concerning hemp
and what happens if drivers test
positive for tetrahydrocannabinol.

Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), 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 Request (ICR)
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The ICR describes
the information collection and its
expected burden. On April 15, 2020,
FRA published a notice providing a 60day period for public comment on the
ICR.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before July 27,
2020.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
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
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.

Hodan Wells, Information Collection

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 April 15, 2020,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
the ICR for which it is now seeking
OMB approval. See 85 FR 21064. 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 ICR 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
ICR that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Track Safety Standards.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0010.
Abstract: The information collection
associated with 49 CFR part 213 is used
by FRA to ensure and enhance rail
safety by monitoring complete
compliance with all regulatory
requirements. Part 213 prescribes
minimum safety requirements for
railroad track that is part of the general
railroad system of transportation. While
the requirements prescribed in this part
generally apply to specific track

conditions existing in isolation, a
combination of track conditions, none of
which individually amounts to a
deviation from the requirements in this
part, may require remedial action to
provide safe operations over that track.
Qualified persons inspect track and take
action to allow safe passage of trains
and ensure compliance with the
prescribed standards.
Type of Request: Extension with
change (revised estimates) of a currently
approved collection.

Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR
1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FRA
informs all interested parties that it may
not conduct or sponsor, and a
respondent is not required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.

that is customarily treated as private,
that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA
received a special permit renewal
request from FNG to renew the special
permit and to continue the exemption
from 49 CFR 193.2155(b): Structural
requirements. Although the present
special permit term ended on May 13,
2019, in accordance with 49 CFR
190.341(e), the special permit will not
expire until final administrative action
on the application for renewal has been
taken. The original special permit was
granted to FNG by PHMSA on May 13,
2014. FNG’s special permit renewal
request, submitted on November 5,
2018, seeks to waive compliance from
the requirements in 49 CFR 193.2155(b)
that an LNG storage tank must not be
located within one (1) mile from the
ends, or 1⁄4 mile from the nearest point
of an airport runway, whichever is
longer.
FNG installed one (1) 125,000-barrel
(5,250,000 gallons) LNG storage tank at
its existing storage and vaporization site
(FNG LNG Plant) located in Fairbanks,
Alaska and includes all ancillary
facilities required to operate the LNG
storage tank. The special permit renewal
request includes a design change of the
LNG storage tank at the FNG LNG Plant
from a single containment LNG storage
tank to a full-containment LNG storage
tank. The secondary containment for the
full-containment LNG storage tank
consists of a concrete outer wall around
the primary liquid container, whereas
the design for the single containment
LNG storage tank had an outer dike
around the LNG storage tank as
secondary containment. The 125,000barrel full-containment storage tank was
also relocated from the original location
of the single containment tank to better
fit the property for setbacks and other
