Full Electronic Distribution of Airworthiness Directives, 39135-39136 [E9-18646]

Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 5, 2009 / Notices The proposed study has two primary purposes: • To document and characterize the work/rest schedules and sleep patterns of train crews in commuter passenger service • To examine the relationship between these schedules and level of alertness/fatigue for the individuals who work these schedules. The intent is to report results in aggregate, not by railroad. The study will seek to describe the work and sleep patterns for this group of railroad employees. It will also obtain subjective ratings from participants of their alertness/sleepiness on both work and non-work days. Data collection will be through the use of a daily diary or log as well as a brief background questionnaire for each participant. Analysis of the diary data will allow the FRA to assess whether or not there are any work-related fatigue issues. The proposed study will provide a defensible and definitive estimate of the work/rest cycle parameters and fatigue in this group of railroad employees that will inform FRA regulatory policy and action. Form Number(s): FRA F 6180.130; FRA F 6180.131 Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 930 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 may also be sent via e-mail to OMB at the following address: oira_submissions@omb.eop.gov 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.
