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

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
its implementing regulations, the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
hereby announces that it is seeking an
extension of the following currently
approved information collection
activities. On May 7, 2014, the Secretary
of Transportation issued Emergency
Order Docket No. DOT–OST–2014–0067
(EO), requiring affected railroad carriers
to provide certain information to the
State Emergency Response Commissions
(SERCs) for each State in which their
trains carrying 1 million gallons or more
of Bakken crude oil travel. The
information collection activities
associated with the Secretary’s
Emergency Order received a six-month
emergency approval from OMB on May
10, 2014. FRA seeks a regular clearance
(extension of the current approval for
three years) while it is determining the
proper course of action to take after a
recent series of train accidents involving
the transportation petroleum crude oil,
a hazardous material the transportation
of which is regulated by the Department
of Transportation. Before submitting
these information collection
requirements for clearance by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB), FRA
is soliciting public comment on specific
aspects of the activities identified
below.

SUMMARY:

Comments must be received no
later than August 29, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on any or all of the following proposed
activities by mail to either: Mr. Robert
Brogan, Office of Safety, Planning and
Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 17,
Washington, DC 20590, or Ms. Kimberly
Toone, Office of Information
Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave.
SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington, DC
20590. Commenters requesting FRA to

Please refer to the assigned OMB control
number in any correspondence
submitted. FRA will summarize
comments received in response to this
notice in a subsequent notice and
include them in its information
collection submission to OMB for
approval.

are not toll-free.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, sec. 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
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
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; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(I)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(I)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 125 / Monday, June 30, 2014 / Notices
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below are brief summaries of three
currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Secretary of Transportation
Emergency Order Docket No. DOT–
OST–2014–0067.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0604.
Abstract: As noted in the summary
above, on May 7, 2014, the Secretary of
Transportation issued Emergency Order
Docket No. DOT–OST–2014–0067 (EO),
requiring affected railroad carriers to
provide certain information to the State
Emergency Response Commissions
(SERCs) for each State in which their
trains carrying 1 million gallons or more
of Bakken crude oil travel. This EO is
available through the Department’s

public docket system at
www.regulations.gov, under Docket No.
DOT–OST–2014–0067. The EO took
effect immediately upon issuance,
although affected railroads were
permitted 30 days to provide the
required information to the SERCs. The
EO is the Department’s direct and
proactive response to a recent series of
train accidents involving the
transportation of petroleum crude oil, a
hazardous material the transportation of
which is regulated by the Department.
The most recent accident occurred on
April 30, 2014, when a train
transporting petroleum crude oil
derailed in Lynchburg, Virginia and
released approximately 30,000 gallons
of its contents into the James River.
Further, the EO explains that, with the
rising demand for rail transportation of
petroleum crude oil throughout the
United States, the risk of rail incidents
has increased commensurate with the
increase in the volume of the material
shipped and that there have been
several significant derailments in both
the U.S. and Canada over the last
several months causing deaths and
property and environmental damage
that involved petroleum crude oil. DOT

Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2011–0093]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
this document provides the public
notice that by a letter dated May 14,
2014, Peninsula Terminal Railway (PT)
has petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension
of its waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal hours of
service laws contained at 49 U.S.C.
21103(a)(4). FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2011–0093.
In its petition, PT seeks relief from 49
U.S.C. 21103(a)(4) that in part requires

emergency orders are rare and the EO
itself describes the most recent
accidents and circumstances leading the
agency to issue the EO. The collection
of information included under this EO
is aimed at ensuring that railroads that
transport in a single train a large
quantity of petroleum crude oil (1
million gallons or more), particularly
crude oil from the Bakken shale
formation in the Williston Basin,
provide certain information to the
relevant SERCs in each State in which
the railroad operates such trains.
Ensuring that railroads provide this
information to SERCs is critical to
ensuring that local and State emergency
responders are aware of the large
quantities of crude oil that are being
transported through their jurisdictions
and are prepared to respond to
accidents involving such trains should
they occur.

duty after initiating an on-duty period
for 6 consecutive days. Specifically, PT
seeks a waiver to allow a train employee
to initiate an on-duty period, each day,
for 6 consecutive days followed by 24
hours off duty. In support of its request,
PT explained that it has five train and
engine service employees covered by
the waiver, and these employees have
set hours, set days off, and do not lay
over at away-from-home locations. PT
provided work schedules for the
employees covered by the waiver,
which shows them working Monday
through Friday, reporting at 7:00 a.m.,
and working an average of 8 hours, with
a crew occasionally working on Sunday
for 4 hours or less. PT also explained
