SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Annual Tank Car Facility
Survey.
Type of Request: Approval for an
extension of an existing information
collection.
Affected Public: There are
approximately 175 tank car facilities
with the capacity to manufacture or
retrofit tank cars capable of carrying
Class 3 flammable liquids nationwide.
Abstract: Section 7308(c) of the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act
(Pub. L. 114–94; the ‘‘FAST Act’’)
directs the Secretary of Transportation
to conduct a survey 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. Over
time, this data collection has and will
continue to inform Congress as well as
the Department of Transportation as to
industry’s progress in upgrading the
nation’s fleet of rail cars to be safer in
the event of an incident involving tank
cars carrying Class 3 Flammable liquids.
BTS has been collecting and intends to
continue to collect information from
tank car retrofitting and manufacturing
facilities on the planned and projected
number of tank cars to be retrofitted or
manufactured beginning the next
calendar year and annually thereafter
until 2029. 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 survey identified in this
notice and is requested to submit the
results to the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS) no later than 60 days
upon request. This will be a voluntary
data collection. Individual responses to
the survey will be kept confidential and
a summary report of aggregate findings
will be provided to:

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.
Data Confidentiality Provisions: The
Annual Tank Car Facility Survey may
collect confidential business
information. The confidentiality of these
data will be protected under Title V of
the E-Government Act, the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA). In
accordance with this legislation,
individual responses will not be
disclosed in any direct or indirect
manner and only aggregated statistical
information will be made available
through reports.
Frequency: This survey will be
updated every year until 2029.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The burden per respondent is
estimated to be an average of 30
minutes. This includes the time
required to gather records as well as
respond to the survey.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
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. It is estimated
that, at most, 175 tank car shops possess
the required capacity to build or modify
to these new safer requirements. The
total annual burden is estimated to be
87.5 hours (that is 30 minutes per
respondent for 175 respondents equals
5,250 minutes).
Response to Comments: A 60-day
notice requesting public comment was
issued in the Federal Register on
January 11, 2021 (Volume 86, Number 6;
pages 2030–2031). No comments were
received.
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. Send comments to the

under the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Program Reauthorization Act of 2015

is among FIO’s duties and authorities as
set out in Subpart A of the Federal
Insurance Office Act of 2010 (31 U.S.C.
313, et seq.), Title V of the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, P.L. 111- 203, 12 U.S.C.
5301 et seq. (July 21, 2010).
Under the Reauthorization Act, the
ACRSM ‘‘shall be composed of nine
members who are directors, officers, or
other employees of insurers, reinsurers,
or capital market participants that are
participating or that desire to
participate’’ in the market for terrorism
risk insurance, and ‘‘who are
representative of the affected sectors of
the insurance industry, including
commercial property insurance,
commercial casualty insurance,
reinsurance, and alternative risk transfer
industries.’’ 2 The ACRSM’s
membership is balanced to include a
cross-section of these individuals. More
information regarding the ACRSM,
including a list of its current members,
prior recommendations to FIO, and its
organizational documents, is available
on the Treasury website.3
Individuals interested in serving as
members of the ACRSM who meet the
membership criteria described above
should submit an expression of interest
including name, organization or
affiliation, and contact information (e.g.,
employment address, telephone
number, and email address).
Submissions should also include a
curriculum vitae and a statement
describing the individual’s interest in
serving and willingness to work on the
issues addressed by the ACRSM. FIO
and Treasury will retain the ultimate
authority to appoint members to the

appoint any individuals submitting
expressions of interest through this
process.

interest rules applicable to Special

criminal activity, Standards of Ethical
Conduct for Employees of the Executive
