Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2019 / Notices
DATES:

Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks
approval of the Information Collection
Request (ICR) abstracted below. Before
submitting this ICR to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified in the ICR.

Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before October
29, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the ICR activities by mail to either:
Ms. Hodan Wells, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of
Railroad Safety, Regulatory Analysis
Division, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590; or
Ms. Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Information
Technology, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
Commenters requesting FRA to
acknowledge receipt of their respective
comments must include a self-addressed
stamped postcard stating, ‘‘Comments
on OMB Control Number 2130–0526,’’
(the relevant OMB control number for
each ICR is listed below) and should
also include the title of the ICR.
Alternatively, comments may be faxed
to 202–493–6216 or 202–493–6497, or
emailed to Ms. Wells at hodan.wells@
dot.gov, or Ms. Toone at kim.toone@
dot.gov. Please refer to the assigned
OMB control number in any
correspondence submitted. FRA will
summarize comments received in
response to this notice in a subsequent
notice and include them in its
information collection submission to
OMB for approval.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Hodan Wells, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad
Safety, Regulatory Analysis Division,
Federal Railroad Administration, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590 (telephone: (202) 493–0440) or
Ms. Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Information
Technology, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590
(telephone: 202–493–6132).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days’ notice to the public to
allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through
1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites
interested parties to comment on the
following ICR regarding: (1) Whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities 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 for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public
comment may reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information that
Federal regulations mandate. In
summary, FRA reasons that comments
received will advance three objectives:
(1) Reduce reporting burdens; (2)
organize information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user-friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
The summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Control of Alcohol and Drug
Use in Railroad Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0526.
Abstract: The Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) and the railroad
industry will use the information
collected to determine the extent of
alcohol and drug abuse on railroad

regulated employees. For example, FRA
will use the information collected to
ensure that regulated employees are
subject to random alcohol and drug

Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Transportation, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
was established by Congress to save
lives, prevent injuries, and reduce
economic costs due to motor vehicle
crashes through education, research,
safety standards, and enforcement
activity. Within NHTSA, the Office of
Emergency Medical Services is
responsible for advancing a national
vision for emergency medical services
(EMS) through the development and
implementation of targeted projects to
benefit patient care, EMS practitioner
safety and support of EMS research. The
NHTSA Office of EMS also coordinates
with the Federal and state highway
safety community to ensure that EMS is
equipped and prepared to carry out its

mission of preventing death and
reducing serious injuries after traffic
crashes. NHTSA is proposing to
continue voluntary collection of limited
EMS information from U.S. States and
Territories. There are no Federal
mandates or requirements for
submission of EMS information from
U.S. States and Territories. The
information is transmitted from local
EMS agencies to State EMS data
systems, and then onto NHTSA’s
National EMS Database via an
automated ‘‘machine-to-machine’’
process that uses Web Services. The
information is transmitted from the
point-of-care to states and NHTSA’s
National EMS Database in near realtime. The information collected by the
National EMS Database is a deidentified subset of the data already
being collected for use by state and
territorial EMS Offices. The National
EMS Database collects information that
describes EMS agencies, the activation
and response of individual EMS units to
an emergency, emergency care provided
on scene and during transport to a
health facility, transport decision,
disposition of the patient and incident,
and EMS system times such as response
time. Personal identifiable information
(PII) such as the patient’s name,
patient’s home address, patient’s date of
birth, patient’s social security number,
and patient’s medical record number are
not collected by the National EMS
Database. The information collected by
the National EMS Database is available
to the public. The National EMS
Database provides NHTSA’s Office of
EMS with information necessary to
inform national EMS and first responder
programs, projects, and initiatives; and
determine the impact EMS has on
highway safety and post-crash care. The
information is also used by EMS and
public health researchers to develop
evidence for best practices in EMS
operations and prehospital clinical care,
and by local EMS agencies and state
offices of EMS for performance
improvement and benchmarking.
Affected Public: State Governments.
