approval of the Information Collection
Requests (ICRs) abstracted below. Before
submitting these ICRs to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified below.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before
December 6, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the ICRs activities by mail to either:
Ms. Hodan Wells, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
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 to
allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through
1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites
interested parties to comment on the
following ICRs 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 for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public
comment may reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information that
Federal regulations mandate. In
summary, FRA reasons that comments

received will advance three objectives:
(1) Reduce reporting burdens; (2)
organize information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user-friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
The summaries below describe the
ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Remotely Controlled Switch
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0516.
Abstract: Sections 49 CFR 218.30 and
218.77 require remotely controlled
switches be properly lined to protect
workers who are vulnerable to being
struck by moving cars as they inspect or
service rolling equipment on track or
occupy camp cars. Creating required
notifications promotes safety by
minimizing the mental lapses of
workers who are simultaneously
handling several tasks. These sections
require the operator of remotely
controlled switches to maintain a record
of each blue signal protection request
for 15 days. Operators of remotely
controlled switches use the information
as a record documenting blue signal
protection of workers or camp cars.
This record also serves as a valuable
resource for railroad supervisors and
FRA and State inspectors monitoring
regulatory compliance.

Title: Bad Order, Home Shop Card,
and Stenciling Reporting Mark.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0519.
Abstract: Under 49 CFR part 215,
railroads are required to inspect freight
cars placed in service and take remedial

action when defects are identified. A
railroad freight car with a part 215
defect may be moved to another location
for repair only after the railroad has
complied with the process under 49
CFR 215.9. Section 215.9 requires

E:\FR\FM\07OCN1.SGM

07OCN1

53558

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 194 / Monday, October 7, 2019 / Notices

railroads to affix a ‘‘bad order’’ tag
describing each defect to each side of
the freight car. It is imperative that a
defective freight car be tagged ‘‘bad
order’’ so it can be readily identified
and moved to another location for repair
purposes only, and so that the
maximum speed and other restrictions
necessary for safely conducting the
movement are known. At the repair
location, the ‘‘bad order’’ tag serves as
a notification of the defective condition
of the freight car. Railroads must retain
each tag for 90 days to verify that proper
repairs were made at the designated
location. When inspecting a freight car,

FRA and State inspectors review all
pertinent records to determine railroads’
compliance with the movement
restrictions of 49 CFR 215.9.
Additionally, section 215.301 requires
railroads and private car owners to
stencil or otherwise display
identification marks on freight cars.
FRA uses the identification marks to
determine the railroads affected, the
number and type of cars involved, the
commodities being carried, and the
territorial and speed limits within
which the cars will be operated. FRA
reviews this information to determine if
the freight car is safe to operate and if
the operation qualifies for dedicated

service and is excluded from the
requirements of part 215. Railroads use
the required information to provide
identification and control so that
dedicated cars remain in the prescribed
service.

Title: Bridge Worker Safety Rules.

Abstract: Subpart B of 49 CFR part
214 establishes minimum workplace
safety standards for railroad employees
as they apply to railroad bridges.
Specifically, 49 CFR 214.105(c)
establishes standards and practices for

safety net systems. Safety nets and net
installations must be drop-tested at the
job site after initial installation and
before being used as a fall-protection
system, after major repairs, and at 6month intervals if left at one site. If a
drop-test is not feasible and is not
performed, then the railroad or railroad
contractor, or a designated certified
person, must provide written
certification the net complies with the
safety standards of 49 CFR 214.105. FRA
and State inspectors use the information
