and interstate drivers. FMCSA will use
existing data from FMCSA systems to
compare current safety and performance
of CMV operators to the safety and
performance of apprentices
participating in the pilot program.
Additionally, FMCSA will analyze the
performance of apprentices before,
during, and after their probationary
periods.
Monitoring and Oversight
FMCSA will review both monthly
data submitted by approved motor
carriers and its own databases
including, but not limited to, the Motor
Carrier Management Information
System, Safety Measurement System,
CDL Information System, the Licensing
and Insurance system, and the Drug and
Alcohol Clearinghouse. FMCSA reserves
the right to remove any motor carrier or
driver from the pilot program for
reasons including, but not limited to,
failing to meet any of the requirements
of the program.
Length and Termination of Pilot
Program
Under 49 CFR part 381, FMCSA can
continue the pilot program for up to 3
years, but may conclude the program
sooner if there is sufficient data to
analyze the safety of the pilot program
drivers or if there is reason to believe
the program is not achieving an
equivalent level of safety that would be
achieved by complying with the
regulations. Additionally, the BIL
requires that on the date that is 3 years
after the date of establishment of the
pilot program, FMCSA will terminate
the program. At that time, any driver
under the age of 21 who has completed
an apprenticeship program may
continue to drive a CMV in interstate
commerce until turning 21, unless it is
determined a safety concern exists.

Deputy Administrator.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket No. FRA–2022–0002–N–1]

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 March
15, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be submitted on regulations.gov
to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2022–
0002. 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.
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)
SUMMARY:

PO 00000

Frm 00080

Fmt 4703

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 summaries below describe the
ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Locomotive Certification (Noise
Compliance Regulations).
OMB Control Number: 2130–0527.
Abstract: Under authority granted by
the Noise Control Act of 1972, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has established limits for noise
emissions related to rail carriers in 40
CFR part 201. Those limits are enforced
by FRA under 49 CFR part 210. In
particular, the information FRA collects
under § 210.27 is necessary to ensure
compliance with EPA noise standards
for new locomotives. Although railroads
no longer need to display a certification
badge or tag in the locomotive cab, as
was previously required by nowremoved § 210.27(d), the locomotives
still need to be tested and certified to
comply with the noise emission
standards, as required under
§ 210.27(a)–(c).
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Form(s): N/A.
Respondent Universe: 4 locomotive
manufacturers.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion.

1 The current inventory exhibits a total burden of
2,237 hours while the total burden of this notice is
2 hours. As part of its review of this ICR renewal,
FRA determined the 2018 estimates incorrectly
included the time associated with the testing. For
instance, under § 210.31, the burdens associated
with testing have been addressed when FRA

VerDate Sep<11>2014

calculated the economic costs of the regulatory
requirements. Additionally, the burden associated
with the test records are covered under OMB
control number 2130–0004. Thus, FRA has adjusted
the estimated paperwork burden in the PRA table
above so that it does not include activities outside
of the scope of the PRA.

3 The current inventory exhibits a total burden of

7,254 hours. As part of its review of this ICR
renewal, FRA determined some of the previous
estimates were initial estimates, outdated, or
duplicative. For instance, the burdens previously
associated with Appendix B to Part 222 were zeroed
because FRA has yet to receive, and does not
anticipate receiving, any submissions under this
provision. Additionally, the estimated paperwork
