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 April 21,
2010, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
on ICRs that the agency was seeking
OMB approval. 75 FR 20875. 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
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: Filing of Dedicated Cars.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0502.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Abstract: Title 49, part 215 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, prescribes
certain conditions to be followed for the
movement of freight cars that are not in
compliance with this part. Dedicated
service means the exclusive assignment
of railroad cars to the transportation of
freight between specified points under
the following conditions: (1) The cars
are operated primarily on track that is
inside an industrial or other nonrailroad installation; and only
occasionally over track of a railroad; (2)
The cars are not operated at speeds of
more than 15 miles per hour; and over
track of a railroad—(A) for more than 30
miles in one direction; or (B) on a round
trip for more than 60 miles; (3) The cars
are not freely interchanged among
railroads; (4) The words ‘‘Dedicated
Service’’ are stenciled, or otherwise
displayed, in clear legible letters on
each side of the car body; and (5) The
cars have been examined and found safe
to operate in dedicated service. These
PO 00000
Frm 00099
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
cars must be identified in a written
report to FRA before they are assigned
to dedicated service, and these reports
must be filed with FRA 30 days before
the cars operate in dedicated service.
FRA uses the information collected
under § 215.5(d) to determine the
number of railroads affected, the
number and type of cars involved, the
commodities being carried, and the
territorial and speed limits within
which the cars will be operated. FRA
reviews these reports to determine if the
equipment is safe to operate and if the
operation qualifies for dedicated
service. The information collected
indicates to FRA inspectors that the
particular or ‘‘dedicated’’ car is in
special service and that certain
exceptions have been provided for
regarding the application of this
regulation spelled out in § 215.3. Cars
not in compliance with § 215.5(d) will
be cited for violations by FRA
inspectors. The information collected is
also used by railroads to provide
identification and control so that
dedicated cars remain in the prescribed
service.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 4
hours.
Title: Hours of Service Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0005.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Railroads.
Abstract: The collection of
information is due to the railroad hours
of service regulations set forth in 49 CFR
part 228 which require railroads to
collect the hours of duty for covered
employees, and records of train
movements. Railroads whose employees
have exceeded maximum duty
limitations must report the
circumstances. Also, a railroad that has
developed plans for construction or
reconstruction of sleeping quarters
(subpart C of 49 CFR part 228) must
obtain approval of the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) by filing a
petition conforming to the requirements
of Sections 228.101, 228.103, and
228.105.
Form Number(s): FRA F 6180.3.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours:
3,707,346 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Motivations for Speeding.
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
Abstract: Speeding is one of the
primary factors leading to vehicle
crashes. In 2008, 31% of all fatal crashes
were speeding-related. The estimated
economic cost to society for speedingrelated crashes is $40.4 billion per year.
Driving at higher speeds reduces the
ability of drivers to avoid obstacles or
react to sudden changes in the roadway
environment and increases crash
severity. The pervasiveness of speeding
behavior is reflected in a recent national
survey that showed that approximately
75% of all drivers reported speeding in
the past month. Since most drivers often
do not see speeding as risky or
dangerous behavior, it is imperative that
NHTSA gain a better understanding of
the motivations for speeding behaviors
in order to develop and refine effective
interventions and countermeasures.
NHTSA proposes to conduct followup focus groups with 72 participants
from an earlier on-road instrumented
vehicle data collection conducted in
Seattle, WA and College Station, TX.
Focus group recruitment will be based
on participants’ speeding patterns in the
on-road data. The focus groups will
contribute to a better understanding of
speeding and speeders, a more accurate
taxonomy of high/low speed driver
subgroups, and a better understanding
of the motives, attitudes and habits of
these subgroups. The focus groups will
explore speed choices and speeding
behaviors and the factors that influence
them, beliefs and attitudes toward
speeding, reactions to and discussions
about specific driving scenarios, and
individual/group responses to various
speeding countermeasures. The focus
groups are expected to provide data
relevant to descriptions of key
motivations, attitudes, normative
commitment to law, driving habits
relevant to speeding and speeding
countermeasures; descriptions of
countermeasures with the greatest likely
benefits; implementation issues and
concerns associated with the
countermeasures; and key advantages
and disadvantages associated with
various countermeasures.
Affected Public: NHTSA plans to
conduct six focus group sessions, three
in Seattle, WA and three in College
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Station, TX. Each focus group will
consist of 8–12 participants and last
approximately 80 minutes. Participants
will be recruited by e-mail or telephone
based on their driving behaviors in the
earlier on-road phase of the study and
their demographic characteristics.
Participation by all respondents would
be voluntary and confidential.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
total estimated annual burden is
between 64 and 96 hours, depending on
the number of participants (range 8–12)
in each group. The respondents would
not incur any reporting cost from the
information collection. The respondents
also would not incur any record keeping
burden or record keeping cost from the
information collection.
Comments are invited on the
following:
(i) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(ii) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection;
(iii) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(iv) 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 most effective
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
