restrictions (TFR) until the restricted
areas are in effect, and make changes to
federal airways and instrument flight
procedures to accommodate the new
restricted areas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The MDA prepared an EIS to evaluate
the potential environmental impacts
associated with the MDA’s proposed
modification of operational
requirements and procedures for the
LRDR located at CAFS, Alaska.1 The
change in the LRDR operation
procedures would create a hazard in
areas of the National Airspace System
where the HIRF from the LRDR
operations would exceed FAA
certification standards for aircraft
electrical and electronic systems. The
EIS also evaluated the potential
environmental impacts of the following
actions proposed by the FAA to address
this hazard: (1) Establishment of six
additional restricted areas in the
vicinity of CAFS; (2) implementation of
TFRs until the restricted areas are in
effect; and (3) changes to federal airways
and instrument flight procedures to
accommodate the new restricted areas.
As a cooperating agency on the EIS, the
FAA coordinated closely with the MDA
and actively participated in the
preparation of the EIS. In accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, and regulations and
guidance of the Council on
Environmental Quality, the FAA
conducted an independent evaluation
and analysis of the EIS and adopted it
for the purpose of making a decision on
its proposed actions. The FAA’s
adoption and decision are documented
in the Adoption/ROD.
Notice of Availability
The Adoption/ROD is available on the
FAA’s website at https://www.faa.gov/

contacting Paula Miller at: Airspace

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 October
22, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR

to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2021–
0006. All comments received will be
posted without change to the docket,
including any personal information
provided. 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, at email:
[email protected] or telephone: (202)
493–0440, or Mr. John Purnell,
Information Collection Clearance Officer
at email: [email protected] or
telephone: (202) 493–0500.
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: Railroad Locomotive Safety
Standards and Event Recorders.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0004.
Abstract: FRA’s locomotive safety
standards (49 CFR part 229) require
railroads to inspect, repair, and
maintain locomotives, including their
event recorders, to ensure they are safe
and free of defects.
The data gathered from locomotive
event recorders is used by the railroad
industry and by railroad employees
(locomotive engineers, train crews,
dispatchers) to improve train handling
and promote the safe and efficient
operation of trains throughout the
country. Locomotive event recorders
also provide FRA and State railroad
safety inspectors with verified data
elements for use in their oversight
responsibilities that show how trains are
operated from lead locomotives.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Form(s): FRA F 6180.49A.
Respondent Universe: 754 railroads.
Frequency of Submission: On

Total Estimated Annual Responses:
8,829,303.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
232,348 hours.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour
Dollar Cost Equivalent: $17,585,665.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR
1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FRA
informs all interested parties that a
respondent is not required to respond
to, conduct, or sponsor a collection of
information that does not display a
currently valid OMB control number.
1 The current inventory exhibits a total burden of
3,815,751 hours while the total burden of this
notice is 232,348 hours. As part of its review of this
ICR renewal, FRA determined many of the previous
estimates were preliminary, outdated, or
duplicative. Moreover, FRA removed locomotive
safety requirements outside the scope of the PRA,
thus decreasing the total estimates accordingly in
this notice.
2 The dollar equivalent cost is derived from the
Surface Transportation Board’s 2020 Full Year
Wage A&B data series using the appropriate
employee group hourly wage rate that includes a
75-percent overhead charge.
3 FRA is proposing to create a new form for use
by passenger railroads, Form F 6180–49AP
(Passenger Locomotive Inspection and Repair
Record), under OMB Control Number 2130–0035.
Once the new form is approved, FRA will move this
under the proposed 49 CFR 229.22 of OMB 2130–
0035.
4 Totals may not add due to rounding.
