Privacy Act
DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking
process, in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
553(c). DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal
information the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL
14—Federal Docket Management
System), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.
II. Legal Basis
FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C.
31315(b) to grant exemptions from
certain parts of the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
FMCSA must publish a notice of each
exemption request in the Federal
Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The
Agency must provide the public an
opportunity to inspect the information
relevant to the application, including
any safety analyses that have been
conducted. The Agency must also

Jkt 253001

provide an opportunity for public
comment on the request. The Agency
reviews the safety analyses and the
public comments and determines
whether granting the exemption would
likely achieve a level of safety
equivalent to or greater than the level
that would be achieved by the current
regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The
decision of the Agency must be
published in the Federal Register (49
CFR 381.315(b)). If the Agency denies
the request, it must state the reason for
doing so. If the decision is to grant the
exemption, the notice must specify the
person or class of persons receiving the
exemption and the regulatory provision
or provisions from which an exemption
is granted. The notice must specify the
effective period of the exemption (up to
5 years) and explain the terms and
conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR
381.315(c) and 49 CFR 381.300(b)).
Bendix’s Application for Exemption
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations require devices meeting the
definition of ‘‘vehicle safety
technology’’ to be mounted (1) not more
than 4 inches below the upper edge of
the area swept by the windshield
wipers, or (2) not more than 7 inches
above the lower edge of the area swept
by the windshield wipers, and outside
the driver’s sight lines to the road and
highway signs and signals. Bendix has
applied for an exemption from 49 CFR
393.60(e)(1) to allow its Bendix
camera(s) with safety technologies to be
mounted lower in the windshield than
is currently permitted. A copy of the
exemption application is included in
the docket referenced at the beginning
of this notice.
Request for Comments
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on
Bendix’s application for an exemption
from 49 CFR 393.60(e)(1). All comments
received before the close of business on
the comment closing date indicated at
the beginning of this notice will be
considered and will be available for
examination in the docket at the
location listed under the ADDRESSES
section of this notice. Comments
received after the comment closing date
will be filed in the public docket and
will be considered to the extent
practicable. In addition to late
comments, FMCSA will also continue to
file, in the public docket, relevant
information that becomes available after
the comment closing date. Interested

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, 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.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before February
1, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
to Ms. Hodan Wells, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, at email:
[email protected] or telephone: (202)
493–0440. 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.
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
SUMMARY:

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:

Abstract: The FRA Alleged Violation
and Inquiry Form is a response to
section 307(b) of the Rail Safety
Improvement Act of 2008, which
requires FRA to ‘‘provide a mechanism
for the public to submit written reports
of potential violations of Federal
railroad safety and hazardous materials
transportation laws, regulations, and
orders to the Federal Railroad
Administration.’’ The FRA Alleged
Violation and Inquiry Form allows the
public to submit alleged violations,
complaints, or inquiries directly to FRA.
The form allows FRA to collect
information necessary to investigate the
alleged violation, complaint, or inquiry,
and to follow up with the submitting
party. FRA may share the information
collected with partnering State
departments of transportation and law
enforcement agencies.
FRA will use the information
collected under the form to identify
problem areas and take necessary action
to prevent potential accidents of the
type indicated by the information
submitted from occurring.
FRA’s proposed revisions to the form
include: (1) Adding several dropdown
menus for form elements (e.g., type,
title, preferred method of contact,
position, category of submission, date,

(2) adding a question requesting the
users identify if they are members of the
public, a railroad employee, or other;
and (3) informing users that they will
receive an automated response from
FRA after the form is submitted. The
revisions are designed to make the
existing form easier to use and more
understandable, and to simplify the
collection of information. The revised
form will ensure that users provide the
necessary information so that FRA staff
can review and respond more quickly.
The revised form also will facilitate
FRA’s ability to maintain the data
collected in a more useful and uniform
manner, as the new dropdown boxes
will assist FRA in receiving more
standardized responses.
