Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection;

AGENCY:

Under the Paperwork

comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified in the ICR.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before June 30,
2025.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be submitted on regulations.gov
to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2025–
0005. All comments received will be
posted without change to the docket,
including any personal information
provided. Please refer to the assigned

Clearance Officer, at email:

(757) 897–9908.
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)
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, 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 summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:

emissions related to rail carriers in 40
CFR part 201. Those limits are enforced
by FRA under 49 CFR part 210.
Specifically, § 210.27 requires that all
new locomotives be tested and certified
to comply with the noise emission
standards.
The information collected under
§ 210.27 is used by FRA to confirm that
new locomotives are tested and do not
emit noise that exceeds the maximum
noise standards, in order to control
harmful noise and promote public
health and welfare.
In this 60-day notice, FRA made no
adjustments to the previously approved
burden hours and responses in the
OMB, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) inventory.1
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
