FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Hodan Wells, Information Collection
Clearance Officer at email:
Hodan.Wells@dot.gov or telephone:
(202) 493–0440, and Mr. John Purnell,
Information Collection Clearance Officer
at email: John.Purnell@dot.gov or
telephone: (202) 493–0500.
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 February 18, 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 10068.
FRA received one comment in
response to this 60-day notice from Dr.
Dennis J. Fixler, the Chief Economist of
the U.S. Department of Commerce’s
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). In
its March 11, 2021 letter to FRA, the
BEA expresses its strong support for this
ICR because BEA considers the data
collected on FRA’s forms to be crucial
to key components of its economic
statistics. The BEA uses the data
collected to prepare estimates of the
employee compensation component of
national income and state personal
income. The BEA specifically uses
employee injury and death data
collected on forms FRA F 6180.55 and
FRA F 6180.55a, Railroad Injury and
Illness Summary, to prepare estimates of
workers’ compensation for the railroad
industry.
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
1320.12(d); 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: Accident/Incident Reporting
and Recordkeeping.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0500.

incident reporting regulations in 49 CFR
part 225 require railroads to submit

derailments, and certain other

passengers, employees, and other
persons on railroad property. As the
