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) and (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: System for Telephonic
Notification of Unsafe Conditions at
Highway-Rail and Pathway Grade
Crossings.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0591.
Abstract: FRA’s regulations on
emergency notification systems (ENS)
for telephonic reporting of unsafe
conditions at highway-rail and pathway
grade crossings (subpart E of 49 CFR
part 234) prescribe standards to ensure
that the congressional mandate 1 to
require railroad carriers to establish and
maintain a toll-free telephone service to
report unsafe conditions at highway-rail
and pathway grade crossings is carried
out. This collection of information is
used by railroads to investigate and
respond to unsafe conditions and
thereby reduce the risk of accidents/
incidents and corresponding casualties
and property damage at such crossings.
In addition, law enforcement authorities
use the information to direct vehicular
traffic or carry out other activities to
1 Section 205(a) of the Rail Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (RSIA), Public Law 110–432, Div. A
(Oct. 16, 2008), codified at 49 U.S.C. 20152.

control number.
