The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8
through 1320.12. On March 24, 2023,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting public
comment on the ICR for which it is now
seeking OMB approval. See 88 FR
17917. FRA received no comments
related to the proposed collection of
information.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve this proposed collection of
information, it must provide 30-days’
notice for public comment. Federal law
requires OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR
1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes the 30-day
notice informs the regulated community
to file relevant comments and affords
the agency adequate time to digest
public comments before it renders a
decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
Therefore, respondents should submit
their respective comments to OMB
within 30 days of publication to best
ensure having their full effect.
Comments are invited on the
following ICR regarding: (1) Whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
information 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 to minimize the
burden of information collection
activities on the public, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
The summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: System Safety Program Plan.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0599.
Abstract: In 2020, FRA issued a final
rule 1 that requires passenger rail
operations to develop and implement a
system safety program (SSP) to improve
the safety of their operations.
FRA uses the information collected to
help ensure that commuter and intercity
passenger rail operations establish and
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

implement SSPs to improve the safety of
their operations and to confirm
compliance with the rule. Each
passenger rail operation should use its
SSP to proactively identify and mitigate
or eliminate hazards and the resulting
risk on its system at an early stage to
reduce the number of railroad accidents,
incidents, and associated injuries,
fatalities, and property damage. A
passenger rail operation has the
flexibility to tailor an SSP to its specific
operations. An SSP must be fully
implemented within 36 months of
FRA’s approval of a passenger rail
operation’s submitted SSP plan. Under
the SSP regulation, FRA will audit a
passenger rail operation’s compliance
with its SSP plan and will use the
information collected to ensure
compliance with this regulation.
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Form(s): N/A.
Respondent Universe: 33 passenger
rail operations + 1 new passenger rail
operation.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Responses:
767.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
1,891 hours.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour
Dollar Cost Equivalent: $153,019.
FRA informs all interested parties that
it may not conduct or sponsor, and a
respondent is not required to respond
to, a collection of information that does
not display a currently valid OMB
control number.
