SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 1320,
require Federal agencies to issue two
notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), and 1320.12. On February
24, 2016, FRA published a 60-day notice
in the Federal Register soliciting
comment on those ICRs for which the
agency is now seeking OMB approval.
See 80 FR 81423. FRA received no
comments in response to that notice.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. See 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. See 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5
CFR 1320.12(d); and 60 FR 44978,
44983, Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes 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. See 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 consideration. See 5
CFR 1320.12(c) and 60 FR 44983.
The summaries below describe the
nature of the ICRs and their expected
burdens. FRA is submitting the renewal
requests for clearance by OMB as
required by the PRA.
(1) Title: Designation of Qualified
Persons.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0511.
Abstract: The collection of
information is used to prevent the
unsafe movement of defective freight
cars. Railroads must inspect freight cars
for compliance and when
noncompliance is found, determine
proper restrictions for the movement of
defective cars.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
information collection.
Affected Public: Businesses
(railroads).
Form(s): N/A.
Total Annual Estimated Responses:
1,200.
Total Annual Estimated Burden: 40
hours.

Certification of Locomotive Engineers.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0533.
Abstract: Section 4 of the Rail Safety
Improvement Act of 1988, Public Law

1988), later amended and re-codified by
Public Law 103–272, 108 Statute 874
(July 5, 1994), required FRA to issue
regulations establishing a program for
certifying or licensing locomotive
engineers. FRA uses the collection of
information to ensure railroads employ
and properly train qualified individuals
as locomotive engineers and designated
supervisors of locomotive engineers.
FRA also uses the collection of
information to verify railroads have
established required certification
programs for locomotive engineers and
that those programs fully conform to the
standards specified in the regulation.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
information collection.
Form(s): N/A.
Total Annual Estimated Responses:
216,863.
Total Annual Estimated Burden:

Washington, DC 20503, Attention: FRA
Desk Officer. Comments may also be
sent via email to OMB at oira_
submissions@omb.eop.gov.
Comments are invited on the
following: Whether the ICRs are
necessary for DOT to properly perform
its functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of DOT’s estimates of the
burden of the ICRs; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the ICRs on
respondents, including using 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.

The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 1320,
Rulemaking Procedures, require Federal
agencies to provide 60 days’ notice to
the public for comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5
CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1), and
1320.12(a). Specifically, FRA invites
interested respondents to comment on
the following summary of proposed
information collection activities
regarding: (1) Whether the information
collection activities are necessary for
FRA to properly execute its functions,
including whether the activities will
have practical utility; (2) 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; (3) ways FRA
can enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways FRA can
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); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes soliciting public
comment will promote its efforts to
reduce the administrative and
paperwork burdens associated with the
collection of information Federal
regulations mandate, including: (1)
Reducing reporting burdens; (2)
organizing information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) accurately assessing the
resources expended to retrieve and
produce information requested. See 44
U.S.C. 3501.
Below is a brief summary of the
proposed ICR that FRA will submit for
OMB approval as required under the
PRA:
Title: Survey of Plant and Insular
Tourist Railroads subject to FRA Bridge
Safety Standards (Title 49 CFR part
237).
OMB Control Number: 2130–New.
Abstract: FRA Bridge Safety
Standards regulations (49 CFR part 237)
require all owners of railroad track with
a gage of 2 feet or more supported by a
bridge to comply with this part. This
includes track owners with bridges
located within an industrial installation
(plant) that is not part of the general
railroad system of transportation
(general system) but over which railroad
