Notice and Request for Comments;
Waybill Compliance Survey
AGENCY:
Surface Transportation Board,

60-day Notice of Intent to seek
extension of approval.
wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–
3519 (PRA), the Surface Transportation
Board (STB or Board) gives notice of its
intent to seek from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) an
extension of approval for the currently
approved Waybill Compliance Survey.
This information collection is described
in detail below. Comments are
requested concerning (1) the accuracy of
the Board’s burden estimates; (2) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; (3)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the

respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
when appropriate; and (4) whether this
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Board, including
whether the collection has practical
utility. Submitted comments will be
summarized and included in the
Board’s request for OMB approval.
Description of Collection
Title: Waybill Compliance Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0010.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Respondents: Regulated railroads that
did not submit carload waybill sample
information to the STB in the previous
year.
Number of Respondents: 120.
Estimated Time per Response: .5
hours.
Frequency: Annually.
Total Burden Hours (annually
including all respondents): 60.
Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: No
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated with
this collection have been identified.
Needs and Uses: The ICC Termination
Act of 1995, Public Law 104–88, 109
Stat. 803 (1995), which took effect on
January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate
Commerce Commission and transferred
to the STB the responsibility for the
economic regulation of common carrier
rail transportation, including the
collection and administration of the
Carload Waybill Sample. Under 49 CFR
1244, a railroad terminating 4, 500 or
more carloads, or terminating at least
5% of the total revenue carloads that
terminate in a particular state, in any of
the three preceding years is required to
file carload waybill sample information
(Waybill Sample) for all line-haul
revenue waybills terminating on its
lines. The information in the Waybill
Sample is used to monitor traffic flows
and rate trends in the industry. The
Board needs to collect information in
the Waybill Compliance Survey—
information on carloads of traffic
terminated each year by U.S. railroads—
in order to determine which railroads
are required to file the Waybill Sample.
In addition, information collected in the
Waybill Compliance Survey, on a
voluntary basis, about the total
operating revenue of each railroad helps
to determine whether respondents are
subject to other statutory or regulatory
requirements. Accurate determinations
regarding the size of a railroad helps the
Board minimize the reporting burden
for smaller railroads. The Board has
authority to collect this information

Sfmt 4703
under 49 U.S.C. 11144 and 11145 and
under 49 CFR 1244.2.
DATES: Comments on this information
collection should be submitted by July
26, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to
Marilyn Levitt, Surface Transportation
Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington,
DC 20423–0001, or to
levittm@stb.dot.gov. When submitting
comments, please refer to ‘‘Waybill
Compliance Survey, OMB control
number 2140–0010.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, a Federal agency conducting or
sponsoring a collection of information
must display a currently valid OMB
control number. A collection of
information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, Federal
agencies are required to provide, prior
to an agency’s submitting a collection to
OMB for approval, a 60-day notice and
comment period through publication in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
Dated: May 24, 2010.
