Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 164 / Monday, August 24, 2020 / Notices

document provides the public notice
that on August 9, 2020, Virginia &
Truckee Railroad Company (VTRR)
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR part 215, Railroad
Freight Car Safety Standards. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2010–0093.
Specifically, VTRR seeks to extend its
previous special approval under 49 CFR
215.203, Restricted cars, and relief from
49 CFR 215.303, Stenciling of restricted
cars, for three overage freight cars:
Caboose V&T 50, open air car V&T 55,
and boxcar V&T 54. It also requests to
add one car, caboose V&T 25, to the
current docket. All cars are owned by
VTRR and are not interchanged in
regular freight operations with other
railroads.
VTRR explains it conducts annual
comprehensive shop inspections and
detailed center plate inspections and
maintains and services the cars in
compliance with all applicable
regulations with the exception of the
relief granted.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be

Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket No. FRA–2020–0027–N–19]

Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:

Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks
approval of the Information Collection
Request (ICR) abstracted below. Before
submitting this ICR to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified in the ICR.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before October
23, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
to Ms. Hodan Wells, Information
Collection Clearance Officer at email:
hodan.wells@dot.gov or telephone: (202)
493–0440. 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.
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 ICR 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 summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Track Safety Standards;
Concrete Crossties.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0592.
Abstract: In 2011, FRA mandated
specific requirements for effective
concrete crossties, for rail fastening
systems connected to concrete crossties,
and for automated inspections of track
constructed with concrete crossties.
FRA uses the information collected
under 49 CFR 213.234 to ensure
automated track inspections of track
constructed with concrete crossties are
carried out as specified in the rule to
supplement visual inspections by Class
I and Class II railroads, intercity
passenger railroads, and commuter
railroads.
