SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Rural Transportation Research.
Background: Section 5513(f) of The
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users of 2005 (SAFETEA–LU) provides
a grant to the New England
Transportation Institute (hence ‘‘the
Institute’’) in White River Junction,
Vermont, to conduct rural
transportation research. The Institute
will undertake research and analysis in
support of two research issues: (1) Rural
Transportation Issues Definition and
Refinement; and (2) Rural
Transportation Safety and Health. The
research includes a 2-part survey to
develop information that will help
support a ‘‘portrait’’ of present rural
transportation patterns. Applying the
concepts of both ‘‘mobility’’ and
‘‘accessibility’’ to the rural Northeast,
the Institute’s surveys will explore the
issues of ‘‘rural isolation’’ and driver
travel behavior. The survey will address
these questions:
• How serious a problem is rural
isolation and perceptions of access (or
lack thereof)?
• How are the economic forces acting
on the rural areas affecting the manner,
and length of trips in the rural
Northeast?
• How are demographics going to
change and/or influence the demands
made on the transportation system? and
• What would be the transportation
implications of different settlement
patterns?
Respondents: Approximately 800
respondents for survey 1 and 600
respondents for survey 2.
Frequency: one time.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 30 minutes per survey.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 700 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and

include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, section 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 two
currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Foreign Railroads’ ForeignBased (FRFB) Employees Who Perform
Train or Dispatching Service in the
United States.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0555.
Abstract: The collection of
information is used by FRA to
determine compliance of FRFB train
and dispatching service employees and
their employers with the prohibition
against the abuse of alcohol and
controlled substances. Because of the
increase in cross-border train operations
and the increased risk posed to the
safety of train operations in the United
States, FRA seeks to apply all of the
requirements of 49 CFR part 219 to
FRFB train and dispatching service
employees. The basic information—
evidence of unauthorized use of drugs
and alcohol—is used by FRA to help
prevent accidents/incidents by
screening FRFB who perform safetysensitive functions for unauthorized
drug or alcohol use. FRFB train and
dispatching service employees testing
positive for unauthorized use of alcohol
and drugs are removed from service,
thereby enhancing safety and serving as
a deterrent to other FRFB train and
dispatching service employees who
might be tempted to engage in the
unauthorized use of drugs or alcohol.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, section 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 December 5,
2006, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on ICRs that the agency was seeking
OMB approval. See 71 FR 70581. 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,
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

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: Control of Alcohol and Drug
Use in Railroad Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0526.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): FRA F 6180.73; 6180.74.
Abstract: The information collection
requirements contained in preemployment and ‘‘for cause’’ testing
regulations are intended to ensure a
sense of fairness and accuracy for
railroads and their employees. The
principal information—evidence of
unauthorized alcohol or drug use—is
used to prevent accidents by screening
personnel who perform safety-sensitive
service. FRA uses the information to
measure the level of compliance with
regulations governing the use of alcohol
or controlled substances. Elimination of
this problem is necessary to prevent
accidents, injuries, and fatalities of the
nature already experienced and further
reduce the risk of a truly catastrophic
accident.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours:
31,797 hours.
Addressee: Send comments regarding
this information collection 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
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Department, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
Department’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection 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.

receipt of their respective comments must include a self-addressed
stamped postcard stating, ``Comments on OMB control number ------.''
Alternatively, comments may be transmitted via facsimile to (202) 493-
6230 or (202) 493-6170, or via e-mail to Mr. Brogan at
robert.brogan@dot.gov, or to Ms. Christodoulou at
gina.christodoulou@dot.gov. Please refer
[[Page 6657]]
to the assigned OMB control number in any correspondence submitted. FRA
will summarize comments received in response to this notice in a
subsequent notice and include them in its information collection
submission to OMB for approval.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Brogan, Office of Planning
and Evaluation Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad Administration, 1120
Vermont Ave., NW., Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202)
493-6292) or Ms. Gina Christodoulou, Office of Support Systems Staff,

Stop 35, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493-6139). (These
telephone numbers are not toll-free.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law 104-13, section 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 two currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Foreign Railroads' Foreign-Based (FRFB) Employees Who
Perform Train or Dispatching Service in the United States.
OMB Control Number: 2130-0555.
Abstract: The collection of information is used by FRA to determine
compliance of FRFB train and dispatching service employees and their
employers with the prohibition against the abuse of alcohol and
controlled substances. Because of the increase in cross-border train
operations and the increased risk posed to the safety of train
operations in the United States, FRA seeks to apply all of the
requirements of 49 CFR part 219 to FRFB train and dispatching service
employees. The basic information--evidence of unauthorized use of drugs
and alcohol--is used by FRA to help prevent accidents/incidents by
screening FRFB who perform safety-sensitive functions for unauthorized
drug or alcohol use. FRFB train and dispatching service employees
testing positive for unauthorized use of alcohol and drugs are removed
from service, thereby enhancing safety and serving as a deterrent to
other FRFB train and dispatching service employees who might be tempted
to engage in the unauthorized use of drugs or alcohol.
