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 October 16, 2020,

SUMMARY:

1 The current inventory exhibits a total burden of
856,406 hours while the total burden of this notice
is 49,761 hours. FRA determined some of the
burdens were outdated and already completed.
Other burdens were not derived from PRA
requirements, thus leading to the increased figures
in the current inventory, which were decreased
accordingly in this notice. Also, totals may not add
due to rounding.
2 The dollar equivalent cost is derived from the
Surface Transportation Board’s Full Year Wage A&B
data series using the appropriate employee group
hourly wage rate that includes a 75-percent
overhead charge.

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 January
29, 2021.
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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Hodan Wells, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad
Safety, Regulatory Analysis Division,
Federal Railroad Administration,
telephone: (202) 493–0440, email:
[email protected].
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 October 16, 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 65899. FRA
received no comments related to the
proposed collection of information.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve the proposed collection 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 30day 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 summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Safety and Health Requirements
Related to Camp Cars.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0595.
Abstract: Subparts C and E of 49 CFR
part 228 address the construction of
railroad-provided sleeping quarters
(camp cars) and set certain safety and
health requirements for such camp cars.
Specifically, subpart E of part 228
prescribes minimum safety and health
requirements for camp cars that a
railroad provides as sleeping quarters to
any of its train employees, signal
employees, and dispatching service
employees (covered-service employees)
and individuals employed to maintain
its right-of-way. Subpart E requires
railroad-provided camp cars to be clean,
safe, and sanitary, and be equipped with
indoor toilets, potable water, and other
features to protect the health of car
occupants. Subpart C of part 228
prohibits a railroad from positioning a
camp car intended for occupancy by
individuals employed to maintain the
railroad’s right-of-way in the immediate
vicinity of a switching or humping yard
that handles railcars containing
hazardous materials. Generally, the
requirements of subparts C and E of part
228 are intended to provide coveredservice employees an opportunity for
rest free from the interruptions caused
by noise under the control of the
railroad.
