identified in their lists including,
location (Interstate number and
milepost and/or crossing), name of
resource, property type, year(s) of
construction, level of significance
(national, State, or local), and nature of
significance for inclusion in the list. In
addition, teams were asked to provide
brief justifications of significance for
each element on the list. As expected by
the FHWA, some States were unable to
identify any Interstate Highway System
elements that strongly convey a
particular area of significance at a level
of exceptional or national importance.
V. Public Participation
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
Based on the lists submitted by each
State, the FHWA compiled a
preliminary national list of elements to
be excluded from the exemptions. This
draft list is available at the following
URL: https://
www.environment.fhwa.dot.gov/
histpres/index.asp. Through public
input and stakeholder involvement, the
FHWA intends to refine the preliminary
list of exceptional Interstate System
elements. The draft list will be e-mailed
to all stakeholders who participated in
the process of identifying historic
elements, as well as any additional
individuals or organizations identified
by the FHWA Division Offices, State
DOTs, and SHPOs as having an interest.
The FHWA is interested in feedback
concerning the following specific
aspects of the preliminary list:
• Whether it should include
additional elements, which would
continue to be considered as historic
properties under the provisions of
section 106 and section 4(f).
• Whether certain sites should be
excluded from the final list based on
application of the stated criteria.
Considerable stakeholder input has
already been received and taken into
consideration in developing this
preliminary list. In addition, the section
106 exemption, which was previously
published in the Federal Register and
subject to public comments, requires the
FHWA to designate, by June 30, 2006,
individual elements on the Interstate
System that will continue to be
considered under section 106.
Accordingly, the FHWA believe that a
30-day comment period for input from
the general public at this time is deemed
to be adequate. Commenters should
submit comments as indicated above
under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 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
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 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 respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
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; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below are brief summaries of the
three currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 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 April 7, 2006,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
ICRs that the agency was seeking OMB
approval. 71 FR 17945. FRA received no
comments after issuing this notice.
Accordingly, DOT announces that these
information collection activities have
been re-evaluated and certified under 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB
for review and approval pursuant to 5
CFR 1320.12(c).
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,
August 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, August
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,
August 29, 1995.
The summaries below describes the
nature of the information collection
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The proposed requirements are

Title: Railroad Signal System
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0006.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): FRA F 6180.14; FRA F
6180.47.
Abstract: The regulations pertaining
to railroad signal systems are contained
in 49 CFR parts 233 (Signal System
Reporting Requirements), 235
(Instructions Governing Applications for
Approval of a Discontinuance or
Material Modification of a Signal
System), and 236 (Rules, Standards, and
Instructions Governing the Installation,
Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair of
Systems, Devices, and Appliances).
Section 233.5 provides that each
railroad must report to FRA within 24
hours after learning of an accident or
incident arising from the failure of a
signal appliance, device, method, or
system to function or indicate as
required by part 236 of this title that
results in a more favorable aspect than
intended or other condition hazardous
to the movement of a train. Section
233.7 sets forth the specific
requirements for reporting signal
failures within 15 days in accordance
with the instructions printed on Form
FRA F 6180.14. Finally, section 233.9
sets forth the specific requirements for
the ‘‘Signal System Five Year Report.’’
It requires that every five years each
railroad must file a signal system status
report. The report is to be prepared on
a form issued by FRA in accordance
with the instructions and definitions
provided. Title 49, part 235 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, sets forth the
specific conditions under which FRA
approval of modification or
discontinuance of railroad signal
systems is required and prescribes the
methods available to seek such
approval. The application process
prescribed under part 235 provides a
vehicle enabling FRA to obtain the
necessary information to make logical
and informed decisions concerning
carrier requests to modify or
discontinue signaling systems. Section

at 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
for comment on information collection activities before seeking
approval for reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 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 respondents to comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are necessary for FRA to properly
execute its functions, including whether the activities will have
practical utility; (ii) 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; (iii) ways
for FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
being collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to minimize the burden of
information collection activities on the public by automated,
