SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Annual Tank Car Survey
OMB Control #: 2138–0047
Background: In accordance with the
requirements of 44 U.S.C. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) (the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995), this notice announces the
intention of the BTS to request the
Office of Management and Budget’s
(OMB’s) extension of the currently
approved information collection related
to Section 7308 of the Fixing America’s
Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L.
114–94; the ‘‘FAST Act’’). Specifically,
Section 7308(c) of the FAST ACT
directs the Secretary of Transportation
to conduct a data collection of tank car
facilities to obtain an estimate of tank
cars projected to be modified or built to
the new safer Department of
Transportation (DOT) Specification 117
or 117R.
On December 4, 2015, President
Barack Obama signed legislation
entitled ‘‘Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation Act of 2015,’’ or the
‘‘FAST Act.’’ See Public Law 114–94.
The FAST Act includes the ‘‘Hazardous
Materials Transportation Safety
Improvement Act of 2015’’ (see Sections
7001 through 7311) and instructs the
Secretary of Transportation to make
specific regulatory amendments to the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR;
49 CFR parts 171–180), including
requirements for certain persons to
report the progress toward modifying
rail tank cars used for the transportation
of Class 3 flammable liquids in
accordance with the timeline
established in Section 7304 of the FAST
Act.
In order to satisfy the FAST Act
requirements, BTS has been conducting

the data collection. BTS invites
comments on its intention to continue
collecting information from tank car
retrofitting and manufacturing facilities
on the planned and projected number of
tank cars to be retrofitted or
manufactured during the calendar year,
annually. Any facility identified with
the capacity to modify or build new
tank cars to the 117 or 117R
specification, as described in Section
7308(c) of the FAST Act will be
included in the data collection
identified in this notice and submit the
results to the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS) no later than 60 days
upon request. Individual responses to
the data collection will be kept
confidential and a summary report of
aggregate findings will be provided to:
(1) The Committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation of the
Senate; and
(2) The Committee on Transportation
and Infrastructure of the House of
Representatives.
In addition, this summary report will
also be published to the BTS web page.
This notice is applicable to Section
7308(c) of the FAST Act which directs
the Secretary to conduct an annual data
collection of tank car shops to acquire
projections of the number of tank cars
to be built or manufactured to the new
safer specifications. This includes those
tank cars modified to the DOT
Specification 117R, or equivalent, as
well as any new tank cars built to the
DOT Specification 117, or equivalent.
Modified tank cars will include, but
may not be limited to, those previously
built to Specifications: DOT105,
DOT109, DOT111, DOT112, DOT114,
DOT115, and DOT120.
Additionally, per Executive Order
13868, issued on April 10, 2019, BTS
will ask Tank Car shops certified to
build DOT–113, capable of carrying
liquified natural gas how many tank
cars they anticipate building in the
calendar year. This information will be
kept confidential and a summary report
of aggregate findings will be provided to
the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Administration.
Respondents: Across the nation there
are approximately 400 tank car facilities
that are currently registered or certified
to build or modify tank cars. However,
the majority of these do not have the
capacity to modify or build to the 117
or 117R specifications or the 113
specification. It is estimated that, at
most, 175 tank car shops possess the
required capacity to build or modify to
these new safer requirements.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: It is estimated that 175
facilities will provide one response each

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2021 / Notices
to this request for information on an
annual basis, and that it will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete,
including record keeping and reporting.
This notice is intended to accurately
account for the annual burden.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
estimated burden is equal to 88 annual
burden hours (i.e., 175 responses per
year x 0.5 hour per response). The total
burden cost is estimated at $4,371 (i.e.,
88 burden hours x $49.67 per hour for
a manager in Transportation, Storage,
and Distribution).
Frequency: Annually.
Public Comments Invited: Interested
parties are invited to send comments
regarding any aspect of this information
collection, including, but not limited to:
(1) The necessity and utility of the
information collection for the proper
performance of the functions of the
DOT; (2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, clarity and content of the
collected information; and (4) ways to
minimize the collection burden without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB’s clearance of this
information collection.
Issued in Washington, DC on January 5,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party.
The OCC is asking OMB to extend its
approval of the following information
collection:
Title: Examination Survey.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0199.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Type of Review: Regular.
Abstract: The OCC provides each
national bank, Federal savings
association, and Federal branch or
agency (bank) with an Examination
Survey at the end of its supervisory
cycle (12- or 18-month period). This
information collection permits banks to
assess the OCC’s bank supervisory
activities, including the:
• Effectiveness of OCC
communications with the bank;
• Reasonableness of OCC requests for
data and information;
• Quality of OCC decision making
during the exam process;
• Professionalism of OCC examining
staff; and
• Responsiveness of OCC examiners.
The OCC developed the survey in
1994, at the suggestion of banking
industry members who expressed a
desire to provide examination-related
feedback to the OCC. The Comptroller of
the Currency and OCC supervisory staff
considered that expressed desire and
concurred. The information collection
continues to be an important tool for the
OCC to measure OCC examination
performance, design more efficient and
effective examinations, and target
examiner training.
This information collection continues
to formalize and promote a long-
