By this notice, FHWA is advising
the public of final agency actions
subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim
seeking judicial review of the Federal
agency actions on the highway project
will be barred unless the claim is filed
on or before September 29, 2017. If the
Federal law that authorizes judicial
review of a claim provides a time period
of less than 150 days for filing such
claim, then that shorter time period still
applies.

Phase 1. Project Overview: The project
includes the conversion of existing
Elkhorn Avenue, Moraine Avenue, and
Riverside Drive roadways from two-way
to a 0.9 mile one-way loop through
downtown Estes Park, Colorado. These
improvements consist of ‘‘Phase 1’’ of

2016 Environmental Assessment for the
Downtown Estes Loop Project. Phase 1
includes pavement rehabilitation on
Elkhorn and Moraine Avenues,
realignment and reconstruction of
Riverside Drive and reconstruction of
the Ivy Street Bridge. The actions by the
Federal agencies on the project, and the
laws under which such actions were
taken, are described in the
Environmental Assessment (EA) signed
on June 29, 2016, in the Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) signed April
19, 2017, and in other key project
documents. The EA, FONSI, and other
key documents for the project are
available by contacting FHWA at the
addresses provided above. The EA and
FONSI documents can be viewed and
downloaded from the project Web site at
https://downtownestesloop.com/.
This notice applies to all Federal
agency decisions, actions, approvals,
licenses and permits on the project as of
the issuance date of this notice,

Administration (FRA), U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks
approval of the proposed information
collection activities listed below. Before
submitting these information collection
requests (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified below.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than July 3, 2017.

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(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested parties to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities 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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques and other forms of
information technology (e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses). See
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public
comment will promote its efforts to
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) ensure that it
organizes 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.
Below is a brief summary of
information collection activities that
FRA will submit for OMB renewed or
revised clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Experimental Investigation of
Automation-Induced Human Error in
Locomotive Cab.
OMB Control Number: 2130–XXXX.
Abstract: The purpose of this
collection is to identify and evaluate the
potential for human error associated
with the operation of systems and
automation in the locomotive cab. This
research addresses DOT’s strategic goal
of safety. Once the nature and risk of
human error in locomotive cab systems
and automation is better understood,
error mitigating steps can be taken to
provide safer systems and reduce the
risk of accidents or incidents involving
these systems. FRA will use the
research’s results to identify training,
operational procedures, or automation
design standards that will improve the
safety of automated systems in
locomotive cabs.
Affected Public: Railroad Engineers.

an operator to ‘‘manually’’ control a
train by providing a desired speed target
while the control system determines the
throttle notch changes required. This
research addresses DOT’s safety
strategic goal. Information collected
from this research will be used by
researchers and equipment designers to
evaluate the merit of a prototype display
and control configuration maximizing
the use of both automation and human
capabilities. The information will also
assist the Federal government in
recommending display design standards
to the rail industry for future displays
and the results may help design future
displays and controls for locomotives.
