or part of the requirements of the RWD
for a total of 149 hours (14.9 hours per
petition). Neither FRA nor ARI
accounted for this potential burden
previously.
Overall, FRA’s modified estimates
amount to 83,440 hours. For the reasons
outlined above, FRA believes this
revised total is more accurate and more
reasonable than its original estimates 2
and ARI’s estimate of 176,092 hours.
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 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 this notice’s
publication. 5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also
60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
The summary below describes the ICR
and its expected burden. FRA is
submitting this renewal request for
clearance by OMB as the PRA requires.
Title: Railworthiness Directive (RWD)
RWD 2016–01 [REVISED] (previously
approved by OMB under the title
Railworthiness Directive for Certain
Tank Cars Equipped with Bottom Outlet
Valve Assembly and Constructed by
American Railcar Industries and ACF
Industries).
OMB Control Number: 2130–0616.
Abstract: An FRA investigation
identified a certain design of
specification DOT–111 tank cars that
ARI and ACF manufactured using
welding practices not in conformance
with Federal regulations and
Association of American Railroads’
welding specifications. The cars are
built to the ARI and ACF 300 stub sill
design and equipped with a two-piece
cast sump and BOV skid. As a result of
the non-conforming welding practices,
these cars may have substantial weld
defects at the sump and BOV skid
groove attachment welds, potentially
affecting each tank’s ability to retain its
contents during transportation. On
September 30, 2016, FRA issued the
initial RWD. On November 18, 2016,
2 FRA notes its December 21, 2016, 60-day
Federal Register notice contained an error in math.
The total burden in that notice should have been
30,240 hours higher (for a total burden of 53,164
hours). See 81 FR 93725.

FRA issued a Revised Directive. The
Revised Directive requires owners to: (1)
Identify tank cars in their fleet covered
by the Directive; and (2) ensure
appropriate inspection and testing of
each tank car’s sump and BOV skid
groove attachment welds to ensure no
flaw exists which could result in the
loss of tank integrity. This ICR applies
to the Revised Directive.
Type of Request: Regular clearance of
an information collection previously
approved under emergency processing
procedures.
Affected Public: Businesses (tank car
owners, shippers, and tank car
facilities).
Form(s): N/A.
Total Estimated Annual Responses:
92,250.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
83,440 hours.
Addressee: Send comments regarding
these information collections to the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: FRA
Desk Officer. Comments may also be
sent via email to OMB at the following
address: oira_submissions@
omb.eop.gov.
Comments are invited on the
following: Whether the proposed
collections of information are necessary
for DOT to properly perform its
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of DOT’s estimates of the
burden of the proposed information
collections; ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collections of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
