Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad
Safety, Regulatory Analysis Division,
Federal Railroad Administration, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590 (telephone: (202) 493–0440) or
Ms. Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Information
Technology, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590
(telephone: (202) 493–6132).
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: Grade Crossing Signal System
Safety Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0534.
Abstract: FRA believes that highwayrail grade crossing (grade crossing)
accidents resulting from warning system
failures can be reduced. Accordingly,
FRA’s regulations require railroads to
take specific responses in the event of

an activation failure (when a grade
crossing warning system fails to indicate
the approach of a train at least 20
seconds prior to the train’s arrival at the
crossing or to indicate the presence of
a train occupying the crossing).
Specifically, railroads must report to
FRA every impact between on-track
railroad equipment and an automobile,
bus, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, farm
vehicle, or pedestrian at a highway-rail
grade crossing involving a crossing
warning system activation failure.
Notification must be provided to the

periodic maintenance, inspection, and

Title: Alleged Violation Reporting

Abstract: The Alleged Violation

Act of 2008 which requires FRA to

National Response Center within 24
hours of occurrence at the stipulated
toll-free telephone number.
Additionally, railroads must report to
FRA within 15 days each activation
failure of a highway-rail grade warning
system. Form FRA F 6180.83,
‘‘Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Warning
System Report,’’ must be used for this
purpose and completed using the
instructions printed on the form. With
this information, FRA can identify the
causes of activation failures and
investigate them to determine whether

‘‘provide a mechanism for the public to
submit written reports of potential
violations of Federal railroad safety and
hazardous materials transportation laws,
regulations, and orders to the Federal
Railroad Administration.’’ The Alleged
Violation Reporting Form allows the
general public to submit alleged
violations directly to FRA. The form
allows FRA to collect information
necessary to investigate the alleged
violation and to follow up with the
submitting party. FRA may share the
