authorizations to 203,116 from the
160,766 that was estimated in the
published 60-Day Notice due to the
change in the forecast of UAS growth
that was published in the FAA
Aerospace Forecast for Fiscal Years
2018–2038.
Total Annual Burden: The FAA
estimates that the annual burden hours
on respondents will be 11,948 hours
(4,173 hours for LAANC respondents
and 7,775 hours for web portal
respondents) for airspace
authorizations, 4,120 hours for airspace
waivers, and 3,286 hours for operational
waivers. The estimated total annual
burden hours increased from the 9,953
hours published in the 60-Day Notice to
11,948 hours due to the change in the
forecast of UAS growth that was
published in the FAA Aerospace
Forecast for Fiscal Years 2018–2038.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR
1320.5(b), 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FAA informs
all interested parties that it may not
conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is
not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

emailed to Mr. Brogan at
Robert.Brogan@dot.gov, or Ms. Toone at

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, Regulatory Analysis Division,
RRS–21, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Room W33–497,

Administration, 1200 New Jersey

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 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 ICR
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
PO 00000
Frm 00130
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18391
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) organize
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 summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Inspection and Maintenance of
Steam Locomotives (Formerly Steam
Locomotive Inspection).
OMB Control Number: 2130–0505.
Abstract: The Locomotive Boiler
Inspection Act (LBIA) of 1911 required
each railroad subject to the Act to file
copies of its rules and instructions for
the inspection of locomotives. The
original LBIA was expanded to cover all
steam locomotives and tenders, and all
their parts and appurtenances. As
amended, this Act requires carriers to
make inspections and to repair defects
to ensure the safe operation of steam
locomotives. Currently, the collection of
information is used primarily by tourist
or historic railroads and by locomotive
owners/operators to provide a record for
each day a steam locomotive is placed
in service, as well as a record that the
required steam locomotive inspections
are completed. The collection of
information is also used by FRA and
State rail safety inspectors to verify that
necessary safety inspections and tests
have been completed and to ensure that
steam locomotives are indeed ‘‘safe and
suitable’’ for service and are properly
operated and maintained.
Type of Request: Extension without
Change of a Currently Approved
Information Collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Form(s): FRA–1, FRA–2, FRA–3,
FRA–4, FRA–5.
Respondent Universe: 82 Steam
Locomotive Owners/Operators.

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

See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8-12. Specifically, FRA invites
interested parties to comment on the following ICR regarding: (1)
Whether the information collection activities are necessary for FRA to
