Proposed collection; comment AGENCY: ACTION: mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES request. SUMMARY: The proposed information collection described below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C Chapter 35, as amended).

DATES: Comments should be sent to the Agency Clearance Officer no later than July 28, 2008. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Type of Request: Regular Submission; extension without change, of a currently approved collection. Title of Information Collection: Reservoir Operations Study (ROS)— Recreation User Data. Frequency of Use: Annually. Type of Affected Public: Individual recreation users at public and commercial recreation areas and recreation users from private waterfront homes. Small Business or Organizations Affected: No. Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3000. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 990. Estimated Average Burden Hours Per Response: .33 hour. VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:31 May 27, 2008 Jkt 214001 Need For and Use of Information: As part of system wide re-evaluation of TVA reservoirs and tailwaters, TVA conducted a survey of recreation use on 13 representative reservoirs and 6 representative tailwaters during calendar year 2002. Recreation use estimates were made for public use areas, commercial marinas, river outfitters, and private home owners. In each case, information was collected on the amount of recreation use, length of stay, facility preference, trip origin, expenditures and economic impact. These data now form the foundation for a TVA reservoir and tailwater recreation database. TVA recognizes the value of this database and proposes to keep it up-to-date and improving its utility by refining the survey design and conducting additional surveys of recreational use on representative reservoirs and tailwaters.

ACTION: Notice of Adjustment of the Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 222, Appendix D, FRA is updating the Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold (NSRT). This action is needed to ensure that the public has the proper threshold of permissible risk for calculating quiet zones established in relationship to the NSRT. This is the second update to the NSRT since the final rule, titled ‘‘Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings,’’ was amended in response to petitions for reconsideration on August 17, 2006 (71 FR 47614). This notice announces that the NSRT has fallen from 19,047 to 17,610.

FRA developed this risk index to serve as one threshold of permissible risk for quiet zones established under this rule across the Nation. Thus, a community that is trying to establish and/or maintain its quiet zone pursuant to 49 CFR Part 222 can compare the Quiet Zone Risk Index calculated for its specific crossing corridor to the NSRT to determine whether sufficient measures have been taken to compensate for the excess risk that results from prohibiting routine sounding of the locomotive horn. (In the alternative, a community can establish its quiet zone in comparison to the Risk Index With Horns, which is a corridorspecific measure of risk to the motoring public when locomotive horns are routinely sounded at every public highway-rail grade crossing within the quiet zone.) In 2006, when the final rule, titled ‘‘Use of Locomotive Horns at HighwayRail Grade Crossings’’ was amended, the NSRT was 17,030 (71 FR 47614, August 17, 2006). In 2007, FRA recalculated the NSRT to be 19,047 (72 FR 14850, March 29, 2007.) New NSRT Using collision data from 2002 to 2006, FRA has recalculated the NSRT based on formulas identified in 49 CFR Part 222, Appendix D. In making this recalculation, FRA noted that the total number of gated, nonwhistle ban crossings was 38,420. Fatalities 351 = = 1.1622 Fatal Incidents 302 Injuries in Injury Only Incidents 821 = = 1.3371 Injury Only Incidents 614 of the 38,420 identified crossings and the predicted cost of the associated PO 00000 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald Ries, Office of Safety, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493–6299 or e-mail: Ronald.Ries@dot.gov); or Kathryn Shelton, Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493–6038 or e-mail: Kathryn.Shelton@dot.gov).
