SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 April 29, 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
17879. 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: Disqualification Proceedings.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0529.
Abstract: Title 49 CFR part 209,
subpart D (subpart D) codifies FRA
procedures to provide due process to
individuals whom FRA proposes to
disqualify from sensitive safety service,
as authorized by 49 U.S.C. 20111. The
only section in subpart D that contains
information collection requirements
subject to the PRA is 49 CFR 209.331,
Enforcement of disqualification order,
which requires: (a) a railroad employing
or formerly employing a disqualified
individual to disclose the terms and
conditions of the order to the
individual’s new or prospective
employer railroad; (b) a railroad
considering hiring an individual in a
safety-sensitive position to inquire with
the individual’s prior employer, if the
former employer is a railroad, whether
the individual is serving under a
disqualification order; and (c) a
disqualified individual to inform the
individual’s current and prospective
railroad employers, and provide a copy
of the order. As explained in its 60-day
notice, FRA is removing the burden
estimates that were included in the last
renewal of this ICR, pertaining to
§§ 209.307 and 209.309, because the
information described in those sections
is collected ‘‘during the conduct of an
administrative action, investigation, or
audit involving an agency against
specific individuals or entities.’’ See 5
CFR 1320.4(a)(2).
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: 754 railroads and
181,210 railroad employees.
Form(s): N/A.
Respondent Universe: 754 railroads
and 181,210 railroad employees.
Frequency of Submission: On
occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Responses: 4.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 2

Dollar Cost Equivalent: $178.26.

it may not conduct or sponsor, and a
respondent is not required to respond
to, a collection of information that does
