Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 17, 2009 / Notices
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and comment. The
ICRs describe the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. The Federal Register notice
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of
information was published on December
10, 2008 (73 FR 75169).
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before March 19, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Robert Brogan, Office of Safety,
Planning and Evaluation Division, RRS–
21, Federal Railroad Administration,
1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., Mail Stop

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 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 10,
2008, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on ICRs that the agency was seeking
OMB approval. 73 FR 75169. FRA
received no comments after issuing this
60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT
announces that these information
collection activities have been reevaluated 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: Railroad Rehabilitation and
Improvement Financing Program.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0548.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Railroads, State and
Local Governments, Other Interested
Eligible Parties.
Abstract: Prior to the enactment of the
Transportation Equity Act of the 21st
Century (‘‘TEA 21’’), Title V of the
Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory
Reform Act of 1976 (the ‘‘Act’’), 45
U.S.C. 821 et seq., authorized FRA to
provide railroad financial assistance
through the purchase of preference
shares (45 U.S.C. 825), and the issuance
of loan guarantees (45 U.S.C. 831). The
FRA regulations implementing the
preference share program were
eliminated on February 9, 1996, due to
the fact that the authorization for the
program expired (28 FR 4937). The FRA
regulations implementing the loan
guarantee provisions of Title V of the
Act are contained in 49 CFR 260.
Section 7203 of TEA 21, Public Law
105–178 (June 9, 1998), replaces the
existing Title V financing programs. The
collection of information is used by FRA
staff to determine the eligibility of
applicants for a loan regarding eligible
projects for the improvement/
rehabilitation of rail equipment or
facilities, the refinancing of outstanding
debt for these purposes, or the
development of new intermodal or
railroad facilities. The aggregate unpaid
principal amounts of obligations can not
exceed $3.5 billion at any one time and
not less than $1 billion is to be available
solely for projects benefitting railroads
other than Class I carriers.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours:
2,163 hours.
Addresses: 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.
Alternatively, comments may be sent
via e-mail to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of
Management and Budget, at the
following address:

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.

RETAC
arose from a proceeding instituted by
the Board, in Establishment of a Rail
Energy Transportation Advisory
Committee, STB Ex Parte No. 670.
RETAC was formed to provide advice
and guidance to the Board, and to serve
as a forum for discussion of emerging
issues regarding the transportation by
rail of energy resources, particularly, but
not necessarily limited to, coal, ethanol,
and other biofuels. The purpose of this
meeting is to continue discussions
regarding issues such as rail
performance, capacity constraints,
infrastructure planning and
development, and effective coordination
among suppliers, carriers, and users of
energy resources. The Committee will
hear reports from the four RETAC
subcommittees (Best Practices, Capacity
Planning, Communication, and
Performance Measures), review a draft
white paper prepared by the Capacity
Planning subcommittee, and discuss the
impacts of the economic downturn on
the rail, utility and ethanol industries’
short term outlook and planning.
The meeting, which is open to the
public, will be conducted pursuant to
RETAC’s charter and Board procedures.
Further communications about this
meeting may be announced through the
Board’s Web site at https://
www.stb.dot.gov.
This action will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.
