Sept 27, 2021, 30-Day FR Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 184 / Monday, September 27, 2021 / Notices
Council of the Judiciary. The previous
five Magistrates were abruptly removed
without legitimate cause following the
May 1 seating of the newly elected
Legislative Assembly. After being
installed, the new Magistrates declared
their installation by the Legislative
Assembly to have been constitutional.
The Magistrates subsequently also
undermined democratic processes or
institutions by approving a controversial
interpretation of the Constitution
authorizing re-election of the President
despite an express prohibition in the
Constitution forbidding consecutive
terms of the Presidency.
Guatemala
Angel Arnoldo Pineda Avila, current
Secretary General of Guatemala’s Public
Ministry (MP), obstructed investigations
into acts of corruption by interfering in
anti-corruption probes. The MP has
opened a probe into allegations that
Pineda interfered in an anti-corruption
investigation. Pineda is alleged to have
tipped off investigative targets about
cases being built against them. In one
instance, Pineda reportedly leaked
confidential information to the director
of Guatemala’s Victim Institute about an
ongoing investigation into more than
100 falsified personnel contracts at the
institution.
Maria Consuelo Porras Argueta De
Porres, current Attorney General of
Guatemala, obstructed investigations
into acts of corruption by interfering
with criminal investigations in order to
protect political allies and gain personal
political favor. Porras’ pattern of
obstruction included ordering
prosecutors in the MP to ignore cases
based on political considerations and
actively undermining investigations into
political allies carried out by the Special
Prosecutor Against Impunity, including
by improperly firing its lead prosecutor,
Juan Francisco Sandoval, and
transferring and firing prosecutors who
investigate the current administration or
the MP itself.
Dated: September 13, 2021.

Deputy Secretary of State.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket No. FRA–2021–0006–N–12]

Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), 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, this notice
announces that FRA is forwarding the
Information Collection Request (ICR)
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The ICR describes
the information collection and its
expected burden. On June 29, 2021,
FRA published a notice providing a 60day period for public comment on the
ICR.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before October
27, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be sent within 30 days of
publication of this notice to
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
Find the particular ICR by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Hodan Wells, Information Collection
Clearance Officer at email:
Hodan.Wells@dot.gov or telephone:
(202) 493–0440.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 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 1320.8
through 1320.12. On June 29, 2021, FRA
published a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register soliciting comment on the ICR
for which it is now seeking OMB
approval. See 86 FR 34303. FRA
received no comments in response to
this 60-day notice.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve the proposed collection of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 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

1320.10(b); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983
(Aug. 29, 1995). OMB believes the 30day 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.
Comments are invited on the
following ICR regarding: (1) Whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
information 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 to minimize the
burden of information collection
activities on the public, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
The summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Hours of Service Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0005.
Abstract: FRA’s hours of service
recordkeeping regulations (49 CFR part
228), amended as mandated by the Rail
Safety Improvement Act of 2008,
include substantive hours of service
requirements for train employees (i.e.,
locomotive engineers and conductors)
providing commuter and intercity rail
passenger transportation (e.g., maximum
on-duty periods, minimum off-duty
periods, and other limitations). The
regulations also require railroads to
evaluate passenger train employee work
schedules for risk of employee fatigue
and implement measures to mitigate the
risk, and to submit to FRA for approval
certain schedules and mitigation plans.
Finally, the regulations include
recordkeeping and reporting provisions
requiring railroads to keep hours of
service records, and report excessive
service, for train employees, signal
employees, and dispatching service
employees on both freight and
passenger railroads.
FRA uses the information collected to
verify that railroads do not require or
allow their employees to exceed
maximum on-duty periods, and ensure
that they abide by minimum off-duty
periods, and adhere to other limitations
in this regulation, to enhance rail safety
and reduce the risk of accidents/

Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR
1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FRA
informs all interested parties that a
respondent is not required to respond
