SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration published a
notice in the Federal Register of January
28, 2013, inviting the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on a
proposed information collection; the
NASA Great Moonbuggy Race, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.
Correction: In Section III Data, the
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours
is 118.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Frances Teel, NASA Clearance Officer,
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, Washington, DC 20546,
(202) 358–2225.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection supports the
President’s initiative to create
opportunities to advance science,
technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) education. The
Great Moonbuggy race is a vehicular
engineering experience that targets high
school and college students and
connects classroom training to tangible
activities that enable practical
application of STEM disciplines,
cultivates innovative thinking, and
embraces teamwork. This event is
inspired by the original lunar rover that
piloted across the Moon’s surface in the
early 1970’s. Participating students will
design a vehicle that addresses a series
of engineering problems similar to
problems faced by the original
Moonbuggy. Comments are invited on
(1) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions at NASA,
including whether the information
collected has practical utility; (2) the
accuracy of NASA’s estimate of the

NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION
SAFETY BOARD
Positive Train Control Public Forum
On Wednesday, February 27, 2013,
the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) will convene a Forum
titled, ‘‘Positive Train Control: Is it on
Track?’’ The Forum will begin at 9:00
a.m. is open to all and the attendance is
free (no registration required). The
NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman
will serve as the presiding officer of the
forum, and all five NTSB Board
Members will serve as members of the
Board of Inquiry. The forum is
organized into three topics areas:
• PTC systems as envisioned versus
what is being implemented
• Current status of PTC regulatory
implementation
• Current status of PTC technical
implementation
Over the past 40 years, the NTSB has
investigated many train collisions and
over-speed derailments caused by
operational errors involving human
performance failures. Many of these
accidents occurred because train crews:
did not comply with signal indications,
did not follow operating procedures in
nonsignaled (dark) territories, or did not
comply with other specific operating
rules such as returning track switches to
normal position after completing work
at railroad sidings.
The NTSB has repeatedly concluded
that technological solutions, such as
Positive Train Control (PTC), have great
potential to reduce the number of
serious train accidents by providing
safety redundant systems to protect
against human performance failures.
Because of the NTSB’s longstanding
interest in this issue, the Board placed
a recommendation to implement PTC on
the NTSB’s Most Wanted List of
Transportation Safety Improvements at
the inception of the list in 1990, and it
remained on the list until after the Rail
Safety Improvement Act of 2008 was
enacted. This act requires each Class I
railroad over which poison- or toxic-byinhalation (PIH or TIH) hazardous
materials are transported and each
entity providing regularly scheduled
intercity or commuter rail passenger
transportation to implement a PTC

system by December 31, 2015. The
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
finalized the rule requiring PTC in
January 2010.
Legislation was proposed in Congress
that would defer the Act’s requirement
for implementation of PTC systems. In
the Senate, provisions in the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP-21) proposed a year-by-year
evaluation of PTC system waivers by the
Secretary of Transportation beyond the
2015 deadline but did not extend past
December 31, 2018. In the House of
Representatives, provisions in the
American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs
Act of 2012 proposed to extend the PTC
system implementation deadline until
December 31, 2020. Additionally, the
House bill would have enabled a
railroad to use an ‘‘alternate riskreduction strategy’’ in lieu of installing
PTC on some nonpassenger track where
PIH and TIH are transported. However,
the enacted legislation MAP–21, Public
Law 112–141, did not include the
provisions regarding PTC.
Expert panelists will include
representatives from railroads,
government, industry suppliers, labor
unions, and the research community.
Below is the preliminary agenda:
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
1. Opening Statement by the Presiding
Officer of the forum
2. Introduction of the Officers and
Technical Panel
3. Introduction of the forum participants
4. Introduction of the panels
5. Closing statement by Chairman
Hersman
Panel Topics
Panel 1—Positive Train Control Systems
as Envisioned vs. Implemented
Panel 2—Current Status of Positive
Train Control (PTC) Regulatory
Implementation
Panel 3—Current Status of Positive
Train Control (PTC) Technical
Implementation
The full agenda and a list of
participants can be found at:
www.ntsb.gov/PTCforum.
The forum will be held in the NTSB
Board Room and Conference Center,
located at 429 L’Enfant Plaza E. SW.,
Washington, DC. The public can view
the forum in person or by live webcast
at www.ntsb.gov. Webcast archives are
generally available by the end of the
next day following the forum, and
Webcasts are archived for a period of 3
months from after the date of the event.

accommodations should contact
