SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, sec. 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
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
56617
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of currently
approved information collection
activities that FRA will submit for
clearance by OMB as required under the
PRA:
Title: Identification of Cars Moved in
Accordance with Order 13528.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0506.
Abstract: This collection of
information identifies a freight car being
moved within the scope of Order 13528
(now codified at under 49 CFR 232.3).
Otherwise, an exception will be taken,
and the car will be set out of the train
and not delivered. The information that
must be recorded is specified at 49 CFR
232.3(d)(3), which requires that a car be
properly identified by a card attached to
each side of the car and signed stating
that such movement is being made
under authority of the Order. Section
232.2(d)(3) does not require retaining
cards or tags. When a car bearing a tag
for movement under this provision
arrives at its destination, the tags are
simply removed. This requirement/
record comes into play only when a
railroad finds it necessary to move
equipment as specified above. FRA
estimates that approximately 400 cars
per year are moved under this Order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
seeks comment on whether it should
grant a non-availability waiver for the
San Bernardino Associated
Governments’ (SANBAG) procurement
of a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF)
HVAC system for the Omnitrans San
Bernardino Transit Center (SBTC) using
FTA grant funding.
With certain exceptions, FTA’s Buy
America requirements prevent FTA
from obligating an amount that may be
appropriated to carry out its program for
a project unless ‘‘the steel, iron, and
manufactured goods used in the project
are produced in the United States.’’ 49
U.S.C. 5323(j)(1). A manufactured
product is considered produced in the
United States if: (1) All of the
manufacturing processes for the product
must take place in the United States;
and (2) all of the components of the
product must be of U.S. origin. A
component is considered of U.S. origin
if it is manufactured in the United
States, regardless of the origin of its
subcomponents. 49 CFR 661.5(d). If,
however, FTA determines that ‘‘the
steel, iron, and goods produced in the
United States are not produced in a
sufficient and reasonably available
amount or are not of a satisfactory
quality,’’ then FTA may issue a waiver
(non-availability waiver). 49 U.S.C.
5323(j)(2)(B); 49 CFR 661.7(c).
SANBAG is requesting a nonavailability waiver for its procurement
of a VRF HVAC system that will be
installed in a multimodal transfer
facility in downtown San Bernardino,
California, which will serve both transit
patrons and operators of Omnitrans’
fixed route buses, the newly opened sbX
