DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2011-0001-N-11]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration, (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and Request for Comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information
Collection Requirements (ICRs) abstracted below are being forwarded to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The
ICRs describe the nature of the information collections and their
expected burden. The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collections of information
was published on June 13, 2011 (76 FR 34287).

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 21, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Brogan, Office of Safety,
Planning and Evaluation Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., 3rd Floor, Mail Stop 25,
Washington, DC 20590, (telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>), or Ms. Kimberly
Toone, Office of Information Technology, RAD-20, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., 3rd Floor, Mail Stop 35,
Washington, DC 20590, (telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>). (These telephone
numbers are not toll-free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law 104-13, Section 2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 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. 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.12. On June 13, 2011, FRA published a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register soliciting comment on these ICRs for which the agency is
seeking OMB approval. 76 FR 34287. FRA received no comments in response
to this notice.
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C.
3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). 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. OMB believes that the 30 day notice
informs the regulated community to file relevant comments and affords
the agency adequate time to digest 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
of this Notice to best ensure having their full effect. 5 CFR
1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
    The summary below describes the nature of the information
collection requirements (ICRs) and the expected burden being submitted
for clearance by OMB as required by the PRA.
    Title: Locomotive Safety Standards and Event Recorders.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0004.
    Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Abstract: The Locomotive Inspection requires railroads to inspect,
repair, and maintain locomotives and event recorders so that they are
safe, free of defects, and can be placed in service without peril to
life. Crashworthy locomotive event recorders provide FRA with
verifiable factual information about how trains are maintained and
operated, and are used by FRA and State inspectors for Part 229 rule
enforcement. The information garnered from crashworthy event recorders
is also used by railroads to monitor railroad operations and by
railroad employees (locomotive engineers, train crews, dispatchers) to
improve train handling, and promote the safe and efficient operation of
trains throughout the country, based on a surer knowledge of different
control inputs.
    Form Number(s): FRA F 6180.49A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 863,951 hours.
    Addressee: Send comments regarding this information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503,
Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments may also be sent via e-mail to
OMB at the following address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Comments are invited on the following: Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department, including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of
the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
    A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.

    Issued in Washington, DC on August 16, 2011.
