including those established under the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(November 15, 2021, Pub. L. 117–58)
and the Inflation Reduction Act, 2022
(August 16, 2022, Pub. L. 117–169). The
Uniform Administrative Requirements
in 2 CFR part 200 require recipients of
Federal financial assistance awards to
monitor activities under Federal awards
to ensure compliance with applicable
Federal requirements and performance
expectations are being achieved. In
addition, the regulations require Federal
awarding agencies, such as FHWA, to
use OMB-approved common
information collections. The FHWA PPR
form will be used by recipients of
FHWA grant awards and cooperative
agreements to report performance and
progress of a Federal financial
assistance-funded construction or nonconstruction project.
Respondents: Recipients of a
competitive grant or cooperative
agreement award administered by
FHWA. Competitive grant or
cooperative agreement recipients
include but are not limited to State
DOTs as defined in 23 U.S.C. 101, U.S.

and other entities identified as eligible
for Federal financial assistance from
FHWA.
Frequency: The information will be
collected quarterly, semiannually, or
annually, as required by the Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the

Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 1 hour per respondent per
form per grant or cooperative agreement
award. This includes time to review the
form instructions, research existing
sources to gather necessary data,
complete and review the form before
submitting to FHWA.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: It is expected that approximately
2,500 respondents will complete up to
4 PPR forms for a up to 10 grant awards
per respondent for an estimated total of
100,000 annual burden hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
electronic technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or
include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.

through 1320.12. On March 12, 2025,
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 90 FR
11873. FRA has 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. The 30-day notice
informs the regulated community of
their opportunity to file relevant
comments and affords the agency
adequate time to consider 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: Control of Alcohol and Drug use
in Railroad Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0526.
Abstract: This ICR covers information
collected pursuant to FRA regulations at
49 CFR part 219—Control of Alcohol
and Drug Use. FRA and the railroad
industry use the information collected
to improve railroad safety through the
detection and deterrence of alcohol and
illicit drug use by railroad or contractor
employees who meet the definition of
‘‘regulated employee’’ in § 219.5.1 For
1 On February 2, 2022, as mandated by the
Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes
Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and
Communities Act, FRA published a final rule that
revised the definition of ‘‘regulated employee’’ to
include a ‘‘MECH employee’’, thereby expanding

example, FRA uses the information
collected to ensure that regulated
employees are subject to a random
alcohol and drug testing program in
which each employee has a reasonable
expectation of being tested at any time
while on duty. This information
collection also covers on-duty railroad
or contractor employees involved in a
train incident who die within 12 hours
of the incident due to the operation of
on-track equipment, regardless of
whether the employee was performing
regulated service at the time.
Information is also collected regarding
foreign-railroads’ foreign-based
employees who perform train or
dispatching service in the United States.
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): FRA F 6180.73; 6180.74;
6180.75.
Respondent Universe: 745 2 railroads
(includes 2 foreign-based railroads);
2,600 regulated contractors; and 160,822
regulated employees.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion.
Estimated Annual Responses:
456,302.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
2,674 Hours.
Total Estimated Burden Hour Dollar
Cost Equivalent: $238,317.
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.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.

the scope of its alcohol and drug regulation to cover
‘‘all employees of railroad carriers who perform
mechanical activities.’’ 87 FR 5719 and 5724. The
definition of ‘‘regulated employees’’ also includes
railroad and contractor employees who are
‘‘roadway workers’’ (as defined in 49 CFR 214.7) or
who perform covered services under the hours of
service laws (49 U.S.C. 21101, 21104, or 21105).
2 In the previously published 60-day notice, 90
FR 11873, the respondent universe reflected 654
railroads. In this 30-day notice FRA has made a
correction to show 745 railroads for the respondent
universe.
