Dispatching 30-Day Federal Register Notice

wreier-aviles on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 250 / Thursday, December 29, 2011 / Notices
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 63990.
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: Identification of Cars Moved in
Accordance with Order 13528.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0506.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: This collection of
information identifies a freight car being
moved within the scope of Order 13528
(now codified at under 49 CFR 232.3).
Otherwise, an exception will be taken,
and the car will be set out of the train
and not delivered. The information that
must be recorded is specified at 49 CFR
232.3(d)(3), which requires that a car be
properly identified by a card attached to
each side of the car and signed stating
that such movement is being made
under authority of the Order. Section
232.2(d)(3) does not require retaining
cards or tags. When a car bearing a tag
for movement under this provision
arrives at its destination, the tags are
simply removed. This requirement/
record comes into play only when a
railroad finds it necessary to move
equipment as specified above. FRA
estimates that approximately 400 cars
per year are moved under this Order.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Total Annual Estimated Burden
Hours: 67 hours.
Addressee: Send comments regarding
this information collection to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

proposes to collect information from the
public to ascertain the scope and
magnitude of bicycle and pedestrian
activity and the public’s behavior and
attitudes regarding bicycling and
walking. A national telephone survey
will be administered to 9,000 randomly
selected respondents drawn from all 50
States and the District of Columbia. The
national survey will be preceded by a
pretest administered to 15 respondents.
The survey will ask about the
characteristics of bicycling and walking
trips, conspicuity, community design
for bicycling and walking, bicycle
helmet use, and general opinions about
bicycling and walking. Interview length
will average 20 minutes. NHTSA will
use the findings from this proposed
collection of information to assist States,
localities, and communities in
developing and refining bicycling and
walking safety programs.
In conducting the proposed telephone
interviews, the interviewers would use
computer-assisted telephone
interviewing to reduce interview length
and minimize recording errors. No
personally identifiable information will
be collected during the telephone
interviews.
