Environmental Impact Statement: Billings County, ND, 60228-60229 [E6-16887]

Download as PDF 60228 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 197 / Thursday, October 12, 2006 / Notices Advisory Circular (AC) 120–66B, Aviation Safety Action Programs (ASAP), as amended, and a memorandum of understanding between the FAA, the certificate holder and, where applicable, pilot or maintenancetechnician groups. As with ASAP, the objective of the RIIEP is to encourage the voluntary reporting of safety information not otherwise available that could be critical in identifying casual factors leading to accidents, incidents— particularly runway incursions, and violations. We encourage certificate holders and representatives of pilot and maintenance-technician groups having ASAP programs to incorporate RIIEP as a voluntary part of their ASAP process by providing RIIEP awareness information to their pilot and maintenance-technician groups. We strongly encourage ASAP programs, and their event review committee (ERC) members to provide the RIIEP Questionnaire to pilot or maintenance technician who submits an ASAP report involving a runway incursion or surface incident, and to request voluntary completion of the questionnaire by that employee. Note that RIIEP Questionnaires are located in FSAW 04–09 et al. (see above), Appendices 8 and 9. In the case of a sole source report, the employee should be instructed not to enter the name identification information requested in Section 1 of the questionnaire. With the ERC’s concurrence, that ASI should provide the completed questionnaire to the appropriate FSDO or CMO, which would process the safety data in accordance with Joint FSIB FSAW 04– 09, et al. For runway incursions or safety events accepted under an accepted ASAP MOU, the guidance in FAA Order 8400.10, Volume 1, Chapter 5, Section 1, paragraph 293E concerning enforcement investigation coordination of alleged violations applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 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 August 2, 2006, FRA published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register soliciting comment on ICRs that the agency was seeking OMB approval. 71 FR 43837. FRA received no comments in response to this notice. Before OMB decides whether to approve this proposed collection 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.

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.

PO 00000 Frm 00123 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60229 Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses. Form(s): N/A. Abstract: Section 7 of the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act of 1992, Public Law No. 102–365, amended Section 202 of the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970 (45 U.S.C. 421, 431 et seq.), empowered the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a review of the Department’s rules with respect to railroad power brakes and, where applicable, prescribe standards regarding dynamic brake equipment. In keeping with the Secretary’s mandate and the authority delegated from him to the FRA Administrator, FRA published a comprehensive regulatory revision of the then current requirements related to the inspection, testing, and maintenance of the brake equipment used in freight car operations. The Final Rule focused solely on freight and other nonpassenger trains, and codified and solidified the maintenance requirements related to the power brake system and its components. The collection of information is used by FRA to monitor and enforce safety requirements related to power brakes on freight cars. The collection of information is also used by locomotive engineers and road crews to verify that the terminal air brake test has been performed in a satisfactory manner. Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 844,452. Send comments regarding these information collections to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503; Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments are invited on the following: Whether the proposed 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. A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
