Project Location: Palm Beach County,
Florida—SR–7 extension from SR 704/
Okeechobee Boulevard to CR–809/North
Lake Boulevard, Federal Project No:

60th Street North to CR–809/North Lake
Boulevard through construction of a
new four lane road, including two
bridges. Segment 2 (FDOT Financial
Project Number 229664–4–32–01) will
widen an existing extent of SR 7 from
a two-lane roadway to a four lane

Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and comment request.
AGENCY:
Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice
announces that FRA is forwarding the
currently approved Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and comment.
The ICR describes the information
collection and its expected burden.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before October 13, 2017.
ADDRESSES: 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
collection of information is 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.
A comment to OMB is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), and 1320.10. On May 2,
2017, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on the ICR for which it is now seeking
OMB approval. See 82 FR 20530. FRA
received no comments in response to
this notice.
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 publication to best
ensure having their full effect. 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 the new request for clearance
by OMB as the PRA requires.
Title: Experimental Investigation of
Automation-Induced Human Error in
Locomotive Cab.
OMB Control Number: 2130–XXXX.
Abstract: The purpose of this
collection is to identify and evaluate the
potential for human error associated
with the operation of systems and
automation in the locomotive cab. This
research addresses DOT’s strategic goal
of safety. Once the nature and risk of the
human error in locomotive cab systems
and automation is better understood,
error mitigating steps can be taken to
provide safer systems and reduce the
risk of accidents or incidents involving
these systems. FRA will use the
research’s results to identify training,
operational procedures, or automation
design standards that will improve the
safety of automated systems in
locomotive cabs.
Type of Request: New information
collection request.

Title: Design and Evaluation of a
Robust Manual Locomotive Operating
Mode.
OMB Control Number: 2130–XXXX.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is
to design and evaluate a prototype
locomotive operating mode that allows
an operator to ‘‘manually’’ control a
train by providing a desired speed target
while the control system determines the
throttle notch changes required. This
research addresses DOT’s strategic goal
of safety. Information collected from
this research will be used by researchers
and equipment designers to evaluate the
merit of a prototype display and control
configuration maximizing the use of
both automation and human
capabilities. The information will also
assist the Federal government in
recommending display design standards
to the rail industry for future displays
and the results may help design future
displays and controls for locomotives.
Type of Request: New information
collection request.

and College Student Volunteers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
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 to
allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8–12.
Specifically, FRA invites interested
parties to comment on the following
ICRs regarding: (1) Whether the
PO 00000
Frm 00111
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (2)
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; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public
comment will promote its efforts to
reduce the administrative and
paperwork burdens associated with the
collection of information that Federal
regulations mandate. In summary, FRA
reasons that comments received will
advance three objectives: (1) Reduce
reporting burdens; (2) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user-friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
The summaries below describe the
ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Identification of Cars Moved
under 49 CFR 232.3(d) (Formerly Order
13528).
OMB Control Number: 2130–0506.
Abstract: This collection of
information identifies certain railroad
freight cars authorized to move under 49
CFR 232.3(d) (formerly Interstate
Commerce Commission Order 13528).
Paragraph (d) of 49 CFR 232.3 allows for
the movement of certain railroad freight
cars without air brakes from initial
terminal locations or through
interchange locations under certain
conditions.
Paragraph (d) of 49 CFR 232.3
requires the cars to be identified by a
card attached to the side of the
equipment specifically noting and
signed by the shipper that the car is
being moved under the authority of that
paragraph. Railroads typically use
carrier bad order forms or tags for these
purposes. These forms are readily
available from all carrier repair
facilities. If a car moving under 49 CFR
232.3(d) is not properly tagged, a carrier
is not legally allowed to move the car.
Section 232.3(d)(3) does not require
carriers or shippers to retain cards or
tags. When a car bearing a tag for
movement under this provision arrives
