This is a revision to a previous information collection submission that was approved under Emergency Clearance procedures. The total burden has increased by 33,950 hours from the previous submission. The increase is due to solely to adjustments. The following reflect adjustments: (1.) Applications. FRA revised its estimate of the number of applications received for each of the four Track categories. Previously, FRA had estimated that there would be approximately 75 Track 1 applications, and 20 applications for Tracks 2, 3, and 4 or a total of 135 applications. In this submission, FRA estimates that there will be approximately 184 Track 1 applications, 45 Track 2 applications, 27 Track 3 applications, and three (3) Track 4 applications or a total of 25 applications. The total burden for the earlier estimated135 applications amounted to 13,500 hours, while the total burden for the present estimated 259 applications amounts to 29,050. Hence, there is a burden increase of 15,550 hours. (2.) Although these are not new HSIPR requirements, previously FRA did not account for applicants auditing burden, report burden, and monitoring burden. The estimated burden for each of these is as follows: 1,920 hours; 16,000 hours; and 480 hours, respectively, or a total increase of 18,400 hours. The current OMB inventory reflects a total burden of 13,500 hours, while the present submission exhibits a total burden of 47,450 hours. Hence, there is a total burden increase of 33,950 hours. There is no change in cost to respondents from the previous submission. (***Please note that the previous submission was approved under OMB No. 2130-0583, but listed in the OMB inventory as 2130-0584. Please advise on the correct approval number. Thanks!)
