If cylinders have been taken to or
received from George Welding & Supply
Co., Inc., between calendar years 2001
through 2012, these cylinders may not
have been properly tested as prescribed
by the HMR. These cylinders should be
considered unsafe and unauthorized for
the filling of hazardous material, unless
and until the cylinder is first tested
properly by an individual or company
authorized to requalify DOT
specification cylinders. Cylinders
described in this safety advisory that are
filled with an atmospheric gas should be
vented or otherwise safely discharged.
Cylinders that are filled with a material
other than an atmospheric gas should
not be vented but instead should be
safely discharged. Prior to refilling, the
cylinders must be taken to a DOTauthorized cylinder requalifier to ensure
their suitability for continued service. A

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Surface Transportation Board
Notice and Request for Comments
AGENCY:

Surface Transportation Board,

DOT.
30-day notice of intent to seek
extension of approval: Waybill
Compliance Survey.

ACTION:

The Surface Transportation
Board (Board), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and
as required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
(PRA), is submitting a request to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for renewed approval for the
Waybill Compliance Survey. The Board
previously published a notice about this
collection in the Federal Register on
May 9, 2012, at 77 FR 27279. That
notice allowed for a 60-day public
review and comment period. No
comments were received. The Waybill
Compliance Survey is described in
detail below. Comments may now be
submitted to OMB concerning (1) the
accuracy of the Board’s burden
estimates; (2) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; (3) ways to

minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, when
appropriate; and (4) whether this
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Board, including
whether the collection has practical
utility.
Description of Collection
Title: Waybill Compliance Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0010.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Reinstatement
without change of a previously
approved collection.
Respondents: Regulated railroads that
did not submit carload waybill sample
information to the STB in the previous
year.
Number of Respondents: 120.
Estimated Time per Response: .5
hours.
Frequency: Annually.
Total Burden Hours (annually
including all respondents): 60.
Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: No
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection have been
identified.
Needs and Uses: The ICC Termination
Act of 1995, Public Law 104–88, 109
Stat. 803 (1995), which took effect on
January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate
Commerce Commission and transferred
to the STB the responsibility for the
economic regulation of common carrier
rail transportation, including the
collection and administration of the
Carload Waybill Sample. Under 49 CFR
part 1244, a railroad terminating 4500 or
more carloads, or terminating at least
5% of the total revenue carloads that
terminate in a particular state, in any of
the three preceding years, is required to
file carload waybill sample information
(Waybill Sample) for all line-haul
revenue waybills terminating on its
lines. The information in the Waybill
Sample is used to monitor the rail
industry in general, and the nature and
quantities of goods being shipped by rail
in particular. The Board needs to collect
information in the Waybill Compliance
Survey—information on carloads of
traffic terminated each year by U.S.
railroads—in order to determine which
railroads are required to file the Waybill
Sample. In addition, information
collected in the Waybill Compliance
Survey, on a voluntary basis, about the
total operating revenue of each railroad
helps to determine whether respondents
are subject to other statutory or
regulatory requirements. Accurate
determinations regarding the size of a

railroad helps the Board minimize the
reporting burden for smaller railroads.
The Board has authority to collect this
information under 49 U.S.C. 11144 and
11145 and under 49 CFR 1244.2.
Comments on this information
collection may be submitted by
November 21, 2012.

ADDRESSES:

Under the
PRA, a Federal agency conducting or
sponsoring a collection of information
must display a currently valid OMB
control number. A collection of
information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Section 3507(b) of
the PRA requires, concurrent with an
agency’s submitting a collection to OMB
for approval, a 30-day notice and
comment period through publication in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
