Studies, described below.

collection should be submitted by May
16, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to
Chris Oehrle, PRA Officer, Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW,
Washington, DC 20423–0001, or to
[email protected]. When submitting
comments, please refer to ‘‘Paperwork

contact Pedro Ramirez at (202) 245–
0333 or [email protected].
Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal Relay
Service at (800) 877–8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are requested concerning each
collection as to (1) whether the
particular collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Board, including
whether the collection has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the Board’s
burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, when
appropriate. Submitted comments will
be included and summarized in the
Board’s request for OMB approval.
Subjects: In this notice, the Board is
requesting comments on the extension
of the following information collection:
SUMMARY:

Description of Collection
Title: Rail Depreciation Studies.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0028.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Respondents: Class I railroads.
Number of Respondents: Seven.
Estimated Time per Response:
Approximately 250 hours per study
(estimating that studies will require
between 125 hours and 375 hours
depending on the extent to which the
carrier provides assistance to outside
consultants performing the study for
them)
Frequency of Response: Bi-annual.
(Under 49 CFR part 1201, §§ 4–1 to 4–

4, the Board requires all Class I (large)
carriers to submit depreciation studies
no less than every three years for
equipment property and every six years
for road property. That means that for
any given six-year period, the Class I
railroads must submit no less than three
depreciation reports, or the equivalent
of 0.5 depreciation reports per year.)
Total Annual Hour Burden: 875 hours
(250 hours × 0.5 studies/year × 7 Class
I railroads).
Total Annual ‘‘Non-Hour Burden’’
Cost: Approximately $210,000 per year.
Board staff estimates that each study
will cost between $20,000 and $100,000,
which equals a cost of approximately
$10,000–$50,000 per year. Using an
average cost ($30,000 per year × 7 Class
I railroads), the non-hour burden cost is
estimated to be approximately $210,000
per year.
Needs and Uses: Under 49 CFR part
1201, §§ 4–1 to 4–4, the Board is
required to identify those classes of
property for which rail carriers may
include depreciation charges under
operating expenses, and the Board must
also prescribe a rate of depreciation that
may be charged to those classes of
property. Under 49 U.S.C. 11145, Class
I rail carriers are required to submit
Depreciation Studies to the Board.
Information in these studies is not
available from any other source. The
Board uses the information in these
studies to prescribe depreciation rates.
These depreciation rate prescriptions
state the period for which the
depreciation rates therein are
applicable. Class I railroads apply the
prescribed depreciation rates to their
investment base to determine monthly
and annual depreciation expense. This
expense is included in the railroads’
operating expenses, which are reported
in their R–1 reports (OMB Control
Number 2140–0009). Operating
expenses are used to develop operating
costs for application in various
proceedings before the Board, such as in
rate reasonableness cases and in the
determination of railroad ‘‘revenue
adequacy.’’
Under the PRA, a Federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), Federal agencies are
required to provide, prior to an agency’s
submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-day notice and comment
period through publication in the
