The Number of Crude Oil Cars
Damaged/Derailed—When the train for
which this report is being prepared
contained cars carrying crude oil,
including cars carrying any residue
amounts of crude oil, the number of
those cars that were damaged or
derailed, including a derailment of only
one wheel. (Code = BBB)
The Number of Cars Releasing Crude
Oil—When the train for which this
report is being prepared contained cars
carrying crude oil, including cars
carrying any residue amounts of crude
oil, the number of those cars that
released any portion of their contents
(i.e., leaks of any type and amount),
including vapor. (Code = CCC)
Selected Instructions for Completing the
Form
The current instructions in the FRA
Guide for Preparing Accident/Incident
Reports (Published May 23, 2011)
(Reporting Guide) for completing Blocks
8 (Cars Carrying HAZMAT [Hazardous
Material]), 9 (HAZMAT Cars Damaged/
Derailed), 10 (Cars Releasing HAZMAT),
11 (People Evacuated), and 52
(Narrative Description) remain
unchanged. Crude oil is a regulated
HAZMAT. Accordingly, shipments of
crude oil will be aggregated with other
HAZMAT in the train in blocks 8, 9, and
10. Block 11, People Evacuated, remains
unchanged. Detailed instructions for
completing these blocks are provided in
the Reporting Guide.
The format for Block 49b is—AAA–
BBB–CCC—a total of eleven characters
including the dashes to indicate the
number of crude oil cars in the train as
specified below:
• AAA is the count of the Number of
Cars Carrying Crude Oil (similar to
block 8, but limited to cars carrying
crude oil and with leading zeros).
• BBB is the count of the Number of
Crude Oil Cars Damaged/Derailed
(similar to block 9, but limited to cars
carrying crude oil that were damaged/
derailed and with leading zeros).
• CCC is the count of the Number of
Cars Releasing Crude Oil (similar to
block 10, but limited to the number of
cars releasing crude oil and with leading
zeros).
When there is no crude oil in the train
and the equipment in the train meets
the qualification of Type of Equipment
listed below under section
‘‘Applicability’’ on the Form (i.e., the
equipment qualifies as a freight train,
work train, single car, cut of cars, or
yard/switching equipment), Block 49b
must be coded as ‘‘000–000–000.’’
All other rules for reporting HAZMAT
releases and injuries apply, regardless of
HAZMAT commodity involved,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:30 Apr 23, 2015
Jkt 235001
including the description of the
hazardous material released in Form
FRA F 6180.54 Block 52 (i.e., Narrative
Description by name or Standard
Transportation Commodity Code
(STCC)), identification of the initial and
number of any car releasing hazardous
materials, and identification of the name
and quantity of hazardous material
released. Further instructions are
provided in the Reporting Guide.
Additionally, the number of fatalities
and injuries resulting from direct
exposure to the released substance
would still need to be reported in
Blocks 46, 47, and 48 on the Form FRA
F 6180.54 and in Block 5q (Exposure to
Hazmat) on the Railroad Injury and
Illness Summary (Continuation Sheet)
Form FRA F 6180.55a.
Applicability
Whenever block 25 (Type of
Equipment) on the Form FRA F 6180.54
is equal to 1 (Freight Train), or 4 (Work
Train), or 5 (Single Car), or 6 (Cut of
Cars), or 7 (Yard/switching), then the
required information on crude oil in the
train must be completed in Block 49b.
Special Study Block 49b Reporting
Example: A train carrying three cars of
corrosive acid and four cars of crude oil
is involved in an FRA reportable train
accident, as described—one of the cars
carrying the corrosive acid is damaged
with no release of product; two cars
carrying crude oil are damaged; one of
these cars releases crude oil; and there
is an evacuation of 25 people, including
an injury to a railroad employee due to
direct exposure and injury to another
employee as a result of the accident, but
not related to the release. Accordingly,
on the Form FRA F 6180.54 the
following information must be entered:
Block 8 enter ‘‘7’’ (representing the 3
cars carrying corrosive acid and the 4
cars carrying crude oil);
Block 9 enter ‘‘3’’ (representing the 1
car derailed carrying corrosive acid, 2
cars damaged carrying crude oil);
Block 10 enter ‘‘1’’ (representing no
corrosive acid released, 1 car releasing
crude oil);
Block 11 enter ‘‘25’’ (representing the
25 people who were evacuated during
the cleanup);
Block 46 (Nonfatal) enter ‘‘2’’
(representing the 2 employees injured);
Block 49b enter ‘‘004–002–001’’
(representing the 4 cars in the train
carrying crude oil, the 2 crude oil cars
damaged/derailed, and the 1 crude oil
car that released product); and Block 52
(Narrative Description) enter a
description of the accident in
accordance with the Reporting Guide
instructions for block 52. For this
example, the narrative would include,
PO 00000
Frm 00105
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

but not be limited to, the initial and
number of the one car that released the
crude oil, the name of the HAZMAT
released (or STCC) (i.e., crude oil), the
quantity of crude oil released, the
number of fatalities and injuries
resulting from a direct exposure to the
released substance (i.e., the one railroad
employee injury as a result of direct
exposure to the released crude oil), and
an estimate of the size of the affected
area evacuated and the length of the
evacuation. If, in this example, the cars
carrying corrosive acid released any
hazardous materials, in accordance with
the Reporting Guide, the initial and
number of any car releasing that
material, as well as the name and
quantity of that material released would
also need to be identified in this block.
On the related Form FRA F 6180.55a,
for the employee injured due to
exposure to HAZMAT enter ‘‘Y’’ in
Block 5q. On another Form FRA F
6180.55a, for the employee injured, not
due to exposure, enter ‘‘N’’ in Block 5q.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 17,

Comment
Currently, we are seeking comments
on the following forms, recordkeeping
requirements, or questionnaires:
Title: Change of Bond (Consent of
Surety).
OMB Number: 1513–0013.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5000.18.
Abstract: A bond is required in
certain circumstances to cover Federal
excise tax liabilities incurred from such
things as the production, removal, or
transfer of certain taxable commodities.
A Change of Bond (Consent of Surety),
TTB F 5000.18, is executed by both the
bonding company and a proprietor
when there is a change to a bond filed
with TTB. The TTB F 5000.18 acts as a
binding legal agreement between the
two parties to extend the terms of a
bond. TTB F 5000.18 is filed with TTB
and a copy is retained by TTB as long
as it remains current and in force.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this collection as a revision. The form
remains unchanged. However, we are
updating the number of respondents
and the total annual burden to reflect a
decrease in the number of respondents.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,330.
Title: Application for and
Certification/Exemption of Label/Bottle
Approval.
OMB Number: 1513–0020.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5100.31.
Abstract: To provide consumers with
adequate information as to the identity
of alcohol beverage products and to
prevent consumer deception and unfair
advertising practices, the Federal
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C.
205(e) requires that alcohol beverages
sold or introduced into interstate or
foreign commerce be labeled in
conformity with regulations issued by
the Secretary of the Treasury. Further,
the producer, bottler, or importer of
alcohol beverages must receive approval
of the label for such products from TTB
prior to their introduction into
commerce. TTB F 5100.31 is a dual-use
form; industry members use it to request
and to obtain the required label
approval. The form serves as both an
application for and, if approved by TTB,
a certificate of label approval (or
exemption from a certificate of label
approval).
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this collection as a revision. On the TTB
F 5100.31 form, TTB is making
additions and clarifications to the list of
allowable revisions listed in part V of
the form. TTB also is updating the
number of respondents and the total
annual burden to reflect an increase in
the number of respondents.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
8,850.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 73,618.
Title: Alcohol Fuel Plants (AFP)
Records, Reports, and Notices.
OMB Number: 1513–0052.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.75.
TTB Recordkeeping Requirement
Number: TTB REC 5110/10.
Abstract: To safeguard Federal
alcohol excise tax revenue, 26 U.S.C.
5181 and 5207 require that a proprietor
of an alcohol fuel plant (AFP) make
such application, maintain such
records, and render such reports as the
Secretary of the Treasury shall
prescribe. The TTB regulations in 27
CFR, part 19, subpart Y, implement
those statutory requirements. The
information collected under these
regulations is necessary to identify and
determine that persons are qualified to
produce alcohol for fuel purposes, to
account for distilled spirits produced
and verify its proper disposition, to
keep registrations current, and to
evaluate permissible variations from
prescribed procedures.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this information collection for extension
purposes only. The information
collection, estimated number of
respondents, and the estimated total
annual burden hours remain
unchanged.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

OMB Number: 1513–0107.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5220.6.
Abstract: Reports on the importation
and disposition of tobacco products and
processed tobacco are used, along with
other information, to determine whether
those persons issued the permits
required by 26 U.S.C. 5713 are
complying with TTB regulations. Those
engaged in importing tobacco products
and processed tobacco are required to
account for the importation and
disposition of such products on a
monthly basis.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this collection as a revision. The form
remains unchanged. However, we are
updating the number of respondents
and the total annual burden to reflect a
decrease in the number of respondents.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other

Estimated Number of Respondents:

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,696.
Title: Formulas for Fermented
Beverage Products.
OMB Number: 1513–0118.
TTB Recordkeeping Requirement
Number: TTB REC 5052/1.
Abstract: Section 5052 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) defines the
term ‘‘beer’’ to include, among other
things, certain products such as beer,
ale, porter, and stout. The TTB
regulations at 27 CFR 25.55 set forth the
circumstances under which the filing of
a formula for beer is required. Section
25.55 require, for example, the filing of
a written notice in the form of a formula
only for certain products that will
undergo any manufacturing process not
generally recognized as a tradition
process in the production of those
products designated as beer, ale, porter,
or stout, or for certain other nontraditional fermented products
produced at a brewery. Brewers file
formulas as needed and only for the
types of products specified in the
regulations. TTB provides that a brewer
operating multiple breweries may file a
single formula to cover the production
of a specified fermented product at all
of their breweries.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this collection as a revision. While TTB
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
has reduced the number of formulas
requiring submission by increasing the
ingredients and processes that do not
require approval, the number of brewers
and products in the market place has
significantly increased. Therefore, we
are updating the number of respondents
and the total annual burden to reflect an
increase in the number of respondents.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

OMB Number: 1513-0052.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.75.
TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: TTB REC 5110/10.
Abstract: To safeguard Federal alcohol excise tax revenue, 26
U.S.C. 5181 and 5207 require that a proprietor of an alcohol fuel plant
(AFP) make such application, maintain such records, and render such
reports as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe. The TTB
regulations in 27 CFR, part 19, subpart Y, implement those statutory
requirements. The information collected under these regulations is
necessary to identify and determine that persons are qualified to
produce alcohol for fuel purposes, to account for distilled spirits
produced and verify its proper disposition, to keep registrations
current, and to evaluate permissible variations from prescribed
procedures.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number
of respondents, and the estimated total annual burden hours remain
unchanged.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Title: Formulas for Fermented Beverage Products.
OMB Number: 1513-0118.
TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: TTB REC 5052/1.
Abstract: Section 5052 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC)
defines the term ``beer'' to include, among other things, certain
products such as beer, ale, porter, and stout. The TTB regulations at
27 CFR 25.55 set forth the circumstances under which the filing of a
formula for beer is required. Section 25.55 require, for example, the
filing of a written notice in the form of a formula only for certain
products that will undergo any manufacturing process not generally
recognized as a tradition process in the production of those products
designated as beer, ale, porter, or stout, or for certain other non-
traditional fermented products produced at a brewery. Brewers file
formulas as needed and only for the types of products specified in the
regulations. TTB provides that a brewer operating multiple breweries
may file a single formula to cover the production of a specified
fermented product at all of their breweries.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision.
While TTB has reduced the number of formulas requiring submission by
increasing the ingredients and processes that do not require approval,
the number of brewers and products in the market place has
significantly increased. Therefore, we are updating the number of
respondents and the total annual burden to reflect an increase in the
number of respondents.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 505.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,326.
