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
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
E:\FR\FM\11DEN1.SGM
11DEN1
58266
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 236 / Monday, December 11, 2017 / Notices
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: Accident/Incident Reporting
and Recordkeeping.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0500.
Abstract: The collection of
information is due to the railroad
accident reporting regulations in 49 CFR
part 225 that generally require railroads
to submit monthly reports summarizing
collisions, derailments, and certain
other accidents/incidents involving
damages above a periodically revised
dollar threshold, as well as certain
injuries to passengers, employees, and
other persons on railroad property.
Because the reporting requirements and
the information needed regarding each
category of accident/incident are
unique, a different form is used for each
category.
FRA hereby informs the regulated
community of railroads and the general
public that it is revising the instructions
for Form FRA F 6180.57, Highway-Rail
Grade Crossing Accident/Incident
Report, to capture information
concerning post-accident toxicological
testing for certain human-factor,
highway-rail grade crossing accidents
and incidents in the narrative block of
this form. The newly revised 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 219.201(a),
effective on June 12, 2017, requires postaccident toxicological testing of railroad
employees when one or more of five
specific requirements are met for certain
human-factor categories of highway-rail
grade crossing accidents and incidents.
See 81 FR 37894 (June 10, 2016).
FRA will begin the process to add a
block to Form FRA F 6180.57 to
accommodate this requirement. In the
interim, if railroads perform drug and
alcohol testing on any employee
involved in a highway-rail grade
crossing accident, FRA is requesting the
railroad place the drug and alcohol
coding information in Item No. 54,
‘‘Narrative Description,’’ of Form FRA F
6180.57.
In accordance with the requirements
of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520) and
its implementing regulations (5 CFR
1320.5–12), FRA published the two
required Federal Register notices for
public comment and then transmitted to
OMB in March 2017 its renewal
submission for this information
collection. This submission increased
the agency estimate of the annual
number of forms completed for Form
FRA F 6180.57 by 160 forms from the
previously approved submission to
OMB (from 2,000 to 2,160 forms). FRA
estimated two hours as the average
burden time to complete Form FRA F
6180.57, including the time for the
information placed in the narrative
block of the form. OMB cleared this
renewal submission on June 2, 2017,
approving a total burden of 46,577
hours and 109,440 responses and
extended the previous clearance for
another three years. The new expiration
date for this information collection is
now June 30, 2020. FRA now seeks
approval for this change to the Form F
6180.57 instructions while requesting
no change to the number of burden
hours and burden responses.

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 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
[[Page 58266]]
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: Accident/Incident Reporting and Recordkeeping.
OMB Control Number: 2130-0500.
Abstract: The collection of information is due to the railroad
accident reporting regulations in 49 CFR part 225 that generally
require railroads to submit monthly reports summarizing collisions,
derailments, and certain other accidents/incidents involving damages
above a periodically revised dollar threshold, as well as certain
injuries to passengers, employees, and other persons on railroad
property. Because the reporting requirements and the information needed
regarding each category of accident/incident are unique, a different
form is used for each category.
FRA hereby informs the regulated community of railroads and the
general public that it is revising the instructions for Form FRA F
6180.57, Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Accident/Incident Report, to
capture information concerning post-accident toxicological testing for
certain human-factor, highway-rail grade crossing accidents and
incidents in the narrative block of this form. The newly revised 49
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 219.201(a), effective on June 12,
2017, requires post-accident toxicological testing of railroad
employees when one or more of five specific requirements are met for
certain human-factor categories of highway-rail grade crossing
accidents and incidents. See 81 FR 37894 (June 10, 2016).
FRA will begin the process to add a block to Form FRA F 6180.57 to
accommodate this requirement. In the interim, if railroads perform drug
and alcohol testing on any employee involved in a highway-rail grade
crossing accident, FRA is requesting the railroad place the drug and
alcohol coding information in Item No. 54, ``Narrative Description,''
of Form FRA F 6180.57.
In accordance with the requirements of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520) and its implementing regulations (5 CFR 1320.5-12), FRA published
the two required Federal Register notices for public comment and then
transmitted to OMB in March 2017 its renewal submission for this
information collection. This submission increased the agency estimate
of the annual number of forms completed for Form FRA F 6180.57 by 160
forms from the previously approved submission to OMB (from 2,000 to
2,160 forms). FRA estimated two hours as the average burden time to
complete Form FRA F 6180.57, including the time for the information
placed in the narrative block of the form. OMB cleared this renewal
submission on June 2, 2017, approving a total burden of 46,577 hours
and 109,440 responses and extended the previous clearance for another
three years. The new expiration date for this information collection is
now June 30, 2020. FRA now seeks approval for this change to the Form F
6180.57 instructions while requesting no change to the number of burden
hours and burden responses.
