FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting public
comment on the ICR for which it is now
seeking OMB approval. See 90 FR
17877. FRA has received no comments
related to the proposed collection of
information.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve this proposed collection of
information, it must provide 30 days’
notice 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. The 30-day notice
informs the regulated community of
their opportunity to file relevant
comments and affords the agency
adequate time to consider 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: Railroad Noise Emission
Compliance Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0527.
Abstract: Under authority granted by
the Noise Control Act of 1972, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has established limits for noise
emissions related to rail carriers in 40
CFR part 201. Those limits are enforced
by FRA under 49 CFR part 210.
Specifically, § 210.27 requires that all
new locomotives be tested and certified
to comply with the noise emission
standards.
The information collected under
§ 210.27 is used by FRA to confirm that
new locomotives are tested and do not
emit noise that exceeds the maximum
noise standards, in order to control

Background

BILLING CODE 4910–57–P

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is
requesting Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) 3-year approval of an
extension without change for a currently
approved collection. The Federal
Transit Administration (FTA)
administers the discretionary Capital
Investment Grants (CIG) grant program
under 49 U.S.C. 5309 that provides
funding for major transit capital
investments including heavy rail, light
rail, commuter rail, streetcar, bus rapid
transit, and ferries. Three types of
eligible projects are outlined in law:
smaller scaled transit capital projects
known as ‘‘Small Starts’’; new fixed
guideway transit systems and
extensions to existing fixed guideway
systems known as ‘‘New Starts’’; and
projects to improve overall system
capacity in existing fixed guideway
corridors, known as ‘‘Core Capacity’’.
The CIG program has a longstanding
requirement that FTA evaluate proposed
projects against a prescribed set of
statutory criteria at specific points
during the projects’ development
including when they seek to enter a
subsequent phase of the process or a
construction grant agreement. In
addition, FTA must report on its
evaluations and ratings annually to
Congress.
The current Federal Public
Transportation Law, 49 U.S.C. 5309, has
not changed the statutorily defined
project justification and local financial
commitment criteria that are the subject
of this information collection. In
addition, the statutorily required
approval steps for projects seeking CIG
funds have not changed. FTA will seek
comment from stakeholders through the
publication of a separate Federal
Register Notice outside of the PRA
process. In general, the information
used by FTA for CIG project evaluation
and rating should arise as a part of the
normal project planning process.
Respondents: State and local
government agencies, including transit
agencies.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 155 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
68,840 hours.
