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 to
best ensure having their full effect. 5
CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995.
The summaries below describe the
nature of the information collection
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The requirements are being
submitted for clearance by OMB as
required by the PRA.
Title: Rail Fixed Guideway Systems;
State Safety Oversight.
OMB Control Number: 2132–0558.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
previously approved information
collection.
Abstract: FTA administers a national
program for public transportation safety
under 49 U.S.C. Section 5329. One
element of this program, at 49 U.S.C.
5329(e), requires States to oversee the
safety of the rail transit agencies (RTAs)
in their jurisdictions, including heavy
and light rail systems, streetcars,
inclined planes, cable cars, monorail/
automated guideways and hybrid rail.
Through this program, State Safety
Oversight Agencies (SSOAs) ensure that
RTAs identify and address safety risks,
follow their safety rules and procedures,
and take corrective action to address
safety deficiencies. This program, which
only applies to RTAs, enhances and
replaces the State Safety Oversight
(SSO) program previously authorized at
49 U.S.C. 5330.
The previously authorized program
required SSOAs to perform oversight
without Federal grant funding available.
As a result, the approved information
collection included burden hours
associated with activities administered
by SSO agencies to collect information
from RTAs and activities performed by
RTAs to provide information to SSOAs.
FTA decided to include these burden
hours to address concerns raised by
SSOAs and RTAs regarding unfunded
Federal requirements.
With the expiration of the previously
authorized program, and the new

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 139 / Friday, July 19, 2019 / Notices

Federal grant program for States,
authorized at 49 U.S.C. 5329(e)(6), FTA
proposes to amend the information
collection activities to focus only on the
activities of SSOAs and RTAs to report
information to FTA. Activities included
in the previous information collection
request that are not specifically related
to FTA information collection are
removed from this information
collection request and are addressed in
the Regulatory Impact Assessment
developed for the final rule
implementing 49 U.S.C. 5329(e). This
proposed change aligns with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, United States Office of Personnel
Management, Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) Guide, Version 2.0, 2011.
The revised information collection
request includes the annual report FTA
requires from SSOAs, the burden of
which has been reduced substantially
through the development of a web-based
system that replaces the existing
spreadsheet-based process and provides
direct interface with the National
Transit Database. It also includes the
FTA’s grant management reporting
requirement and the triennial audit
program, which requires information
from both SSOAs and RTAs. Further,
the information collection reflects
requirements for SSOAs and RTAs to
respond to FTA directives and
advisories, and SSOAs participation in
monthly teleconference calls with FTA.
Finally, the information collection
request includes RTA event
notifications to FTA.
With these changes, the total burden
hours have decreased from 586,443
hours for the previous information
collection request to 16,365 representing
an overall decrease of 570,078 hours.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 96 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 16,365 hours.
Frequency: Annually.
Comments are Invited On: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
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

115–91 (the ‘‘Act’’), codified at 46
U.S.C. 54102, MARAD developed a
procedure to recommend to the
Secretary the designation of eligible
institutions as Centers of Excellence for
Domestic Maritime Workforce Training
and Education (CoE). Pursuant to the
Act, the Secretary of Transportation may
designate certain eligible and qualified
training entities as CoEs and may
subsequently execute Cooperative
Agreements with CoE designees.
Authority to administer the CoE
program is delegated to MARAD in 49
CFR 1.93(a).
Qualified training entities seeking to
be designated as a CoE need to apply to
MARAD. MARAD has developed this
notice to provide interested parties with
comprehensive agency guidance on how
to apply for CoE designation and how
the CoE program will be administered.
Applications should include
information to demonstrate that the
applicant institution meets certain
eligibility requirements, selection
