practice, data, methods, and systems
used by state, metropolitan, regional,
local, and tribal transportation planning
entities to support their required
planning process in accordance with
Title 23 United States Code 134 and
135. This includes, but is not limited to,
information to support transportation
research, capacity building, data
collection, planning, travel modeling,
and performance management. This also
includes information about how data is
shared between planning agencies and
how it is processed and used in the
planning context. Questionnaires will
be sent to State DOT headquarters and
districts, Metropolitan Planning,
Organizations, Regional Planning
Organizations, and Tribal Governments.
FHWA anticipates that one
representative from each agency will
take approximately 30 minutes to
complete up to 4 questionnaires each
year. The questionnaires will be
administered via the Internet and
invitations to participate in the
questionnaire will be distributed via
email.
This information, once compiled, will
allow the FHWA to better understand
the existing capabilities that agencies
across the country have in support of
the planning process and the readiness
they possess to handle new and ongoing
challenges. As a result of the collected
information, FHWA will focus its efforts
and resources on providing targeted and
meaningful support for planning and
readiness nationwide. Additionally,
FHWA will ensure that excellent
planning practices are identified will be
shared broadly across the country.
Respondents: Respondents are
representatives of State DOT
headquarters and districts, Metropolitan
Planning, Organizations, Regional
Planning Organizations, and Tribal
Governments.
Respondents: 950 respondents
annually.
Frequency: 4 per year for 3 years.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Approximately 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Up to 1,900 hours annually.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
computer technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.

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 to implement them. See 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). FRA invites
interested respondents to comment on
the following summary of proposed
information collection activities
regarding: (1) Whether the 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 by

electronic submission of responses). 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
E:\FR\FM\12OCN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2017 / Notices
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.
Below is a brief summary of currently
approved information collection
activities that FRA will submit for
renewed clearance by OMB as required
under the PRA:

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2017 / Notices
OMB Control Number: 2130–0596.
Abstract: FRA’s conductor
certification regulation (49 CFR part
242) requires railroads to have a formal
program for certifying conductors. As
part of that program, railroads are
required to have a formal process for
training prospective conductors and
determining that all persons are
competent before permitting them to
serve as a conductor. FRA intended the
regulation to ensure that only those
persons who meet minimum Federal
safety standards serve as conductors.
FRA collects information to ensure that
railroads and their employees fully
comply with all the requirements of part
242, including a conductor certification/
recertification program, fitness
requirements, initial and periodic
testing of conductors, territorial
qualifications, etc.

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request
AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), U.S. Department of
Transportation.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks renewed approval of the proposed
information collection activities listed below. Before submitting these
information collection requests (ICRs) to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for approval, FRA is soliciting public comment on specific
aspects of the activities, which are identified in this notice.
DATES: Comments must be received no later than December 11, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on any or all of the following
proposed activities by mail to either: Mr. Robert Brogan, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad Safety, Regulatory
Analysis Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590; or Ms. Kim
Toone, Information Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Information
Technology, RAD-20, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue 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 2130-0571'' or ``Comments on OMB Control Number 2130-0596,'' and
should also include the title of the collection of information.
Alternatively, comments may be faxed to (202) 493-6216 or (202) 493-
6497, or emailed to Mr. Brogan at Robert.Brogan@dot.gov, or Ms. Toone
at Kim.Toone@dot.gov. 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, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad Safety, Safety
Regulatory Analysis Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad Administration,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590
(telephone: (202) 493-6292) or Ms. Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Information Technology, RAD-20, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Mail Stop 35,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493-6132).
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 to implement them.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1),
1320.12(a). FRA invites interested respondents to comment on the
following summary of proposed information collection activities
regarding: (1) Whether the 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 by automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques and other forms of information technology (e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses). 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
[[Page 47596]]
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.
Below is a brief summary of currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will submit for renewed clearance by OMB
as required under the PRA:
Title: Occupational Noise Exposure for Railroad Operating
Employees.
OMB Control Number: 2130-0571.
Abstract: FRA uses the collection of information to ensure
railroads covered by this rule establish and implement noise
monitoring, hearing conservation, and audiometric testing programs.
This collection also includes hearing conservation training programs
that protect railroad employees from the damaging and potentially
dangerous effects of excessive noise in the everyday rail environment.

Title: Conductor Certification.
[[Page 47597]]
OMB Control Number: 2130-0596.
Abstract: FRA's conductor certification regulation (49 CFR part
242) requires railroads to have a formal program for certifying
conductors. As part of that program, railroads are required to have a
formal process for training prospective conductors and determining that
all persons are competent before permitting them to serve as a
conductor. FRA intended the regulation to ensure that only those
persons who meet minimum Federal safety standards serve as conductors.
FRA collects information to ensure that railroads and their employees
fully comply with all the requirements of part 242, including a
conductor certification/recertification program, fitness requirements,
initial and periodic testing of conductors, territorial qualifications,
etc.
