DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Pursuant
to section 10(a) (2) of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act: (Pub. L No.
92–463, 5 U.S.C. App.) notice is hereby
given for an Industry Day meeting to
introduce the Four Dimensional
Trajectory Demonstration (4DT) project
to the aviation community.
Background:
Æ The 4D Trajectory Demonstration
Project will conduct a demonstration of
the key 4DT Trajectory Based
Operations (TBO) services, including
Dynamic Required Navigational
Performance (DRNP), Advanced Interval
Management (AIM), and Air Traffic
Control (ATC) Winds. It will also
demonstrate the use of Aeronautical
Telecommunication Network (ATN)
Baseline 2 data link for the exchange of
4D Trajectories between ground
automation systems and aircraft to
exercise TBO concepts.
Æ The purpose of the project is to
demonstrate the technical feasibility
and evaluate benefits of the advanced
TBO services enabled by modern data
link technologies. The 4D Trajectory
demonstration will leverage the
availability of ATN baseline 2 data link
standards, advanced Performance Based
Navigation (PBN) and surveillance
avionics suites, common flight object for
trajectory exchange between Air Traffic
Management (ATM) automation and
Flight Operations Center (FOC)
automation.
Registration:
Æ Attendance is open to the
interested public but limited to space
availability and is on a first come, first
serve basis. A webcast will be provided
for those who cannot attend in person.
To attend the Industry Day (in person or
via webcast), participants must register
via the following link: https://

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
its implementing regulations, the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
hereby announces that it is seeking an
extension of the following currently
approved information collection
activities. On April 27, 2015, FRA
published in the Federal Register its
Safety Advisory titled Mechanical
Inspections and Wheel Impact Load
Detector Standards for Trains
Transporting Large Amounts of Class 3
Flammable Liquids (FRA Safety
Advisory 2015–01). See 80 FR 23318.
The information collection activities
associated with FRA Safety Advisory
2015–01 received a six-month
emergency approval from OMB on April
30, 2015. FRA seeks a regular clearance
(extension of the current approval for
three years) to continue this effort to
enhance the mechanical safety of tank
cars in high hazard flammable trains
transporting large quantities of Class 3
flammable liquids. Before submitting
these information collection
requirements for clearance by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB), FRA
is soliciting public comment on specific
aspects of the activities identified
below.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received no
later than July 27, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on any or all of the following proposed
activities by mail to either: Mr. Robert
Brogan, Office of Safety, Planning and
Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 17,
Washington, DC 20590, or Ms. Kimberly
Toone, Office of Information
Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave.
SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington, DC
20590. Commenters requesting FRA to
acknowledge receipt of their respective
comments must include a self-addressed
stamped postcard stating, ‘‘Comments
on OMB control number 2130–0607.’’
Alternatively, comments may be
transmitted via facsimile to (202) 493–

Please refer to the assigned OMB control
number in any correspondence
submitted. FRA will summarize
comments received in response to this
notice in a subsequent notice and
include them in its information
collection submission to OMB for
approval.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Robert Brogan, Office of Planning and
Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New

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
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

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 the
currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
