U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), this notice
announces that the Information
Collection Requirement (ICR) abstracted

of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The ICR describes

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Robert Brogan, Office of Planning and
Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1120 Vermont

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law No. 104–13, section
2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:57 Sep 25, 2007
Jkt 211001
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 20, 2007,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
ICRs that the agency was seeking OMB
approval. 72 FR 39886. 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: Railroad Communications
(Formerly Transmission of Train Orders
by Radio).
OMB Control Number: 2130–0524.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Form(s): N/A.
Abstract: The Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) amended its radio
standards and procedures to promote
compliance by making regulations more
flexible; to require wireless
communications devices, including
radios, for specified classifications of
railroad operations and roadway
workers; and to re-title this part to
reflect its coverage of other means of
wireless communications such as
cellular telephones, data radio
terminals, and other forms of wireless
communications to convey emergency
and need-to-know information. The new
rule establishes safe, uniform
procedures covering the use of radio
and other wireless communications
within the railroad industry.
