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: Railroad Signal System
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0006.

under 49 CFR parts 233, 235, and 236

compliance with FRA’s inspection and
testing requirements for signal systems,
as well as to review and approve
railroad requests to discontinue or
materially modify existing signal
systems. The information collected is
also used by FRA to monitor signal
failures (e.g., failure of a signal
appliance, device, method, or system to
function or display an indication as
required by 49 CFR part 236 that results
in a more favorable aspect than
intended or other condition hazardous
to the movement of a train).
