SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Pub. L. No. 104–13, § 2, 109 Stat.
163 (1995) (codified as revised at 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
(44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12). On July 6, 2005,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
ICRs that the agency was seeking OMB
approval (70 FR 39002). FRA received
no comments in response to this notice.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment (44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d)). 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 that the
30 day 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 (5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60
FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995).
The summaries below describe the
nature of the information collection
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The revised requirements are
being submitted for clearance by OMB
as required by the PRA.
Title: Passenger Equipment Safety
Standards.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0544.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

or death to railroad employees, railroad
passengers, or to the general public; and
to mitigate the consequences of any
such occurrences, to the extent that they
can not be prevented. The information

safety by ensuring requirements are met
for railroad passenger equipment design

collections of information are necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of FRA, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the proposed information
collections; ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collections of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
