Test results made in compliance with § 236.587 must be retained for 92 days. The results of all other tests required under §§ 236.102 through 109; 236.376 through 236.387; 236.576 and 236.577; and 236.586 through 236.589, including results of periodic tests, must be retained until the next record is filed, but no less than one year. Additionally, § 236.587 requires each railroad to make a departure test of the cab signal, automatic train stop, or train control devices on locomotives prior to a locomotive entering equipped territory. This section further requires that whoever performs the departure test must certify in writing that the test was properly performed. The certification and test results must be posted in the locomotive cab with a copy of the certification and test results retained at the office of the supervisory official. However, if it is impractical to leave a copy of the certification and test results at the location where the test is conducted, then the test results must be transmitted to either the dispatcher or another designated official who must keep a written record of the test results and the name of the person performing the test. All records prepared under this section are required to be retained for 92 days. Finally, § 236.590 requires railroads to clean and inspect the pneumatic apparatus of automatic train stop, train control, or cab signal devices on locomotives as required by § 229.29(a). Type of Request: Extension with change of a currently approved information collection. Affected Public: Businesses. Form(s): FRA F 6180.14. Respondent Universe: 741 Railroads. Frequency of Submission: On occasion. Total Estimated Annual Responses: 1,673,437. Total Estimated Annual Burden: 444,820 hours. Title: Inspection Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment (Power Brakes). OMB Control Number: 2130–0008. Abstract: Recognizing the importance of upgrading rail technologies, Congress in 1980 passed the Rock Island Railroad Transition and Employee Assistance Act (the ‘‘Rock Island Act’’), which, inter alia, provides statutory relief for the implementation of new technologies. More specifically, when certain statutory requirements preclude the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Oct 29, 2018 Jkt 247001 development or implementation of more efficient railroad transportation equipment or other transportation innovations, the applicable section of the Rock Island Act, currently codified at 49 U.S.C. 20306, provides the Secretary of Transportation with the authority to grant an exemption to those requirements based on evidence received and findings developed at a hearing. In accordance with that statute, FRA held a public hearing and invoked its discretionary authority under 49 U.S.C. 20306 to provide a limited exemption from 49 U.S.C. 20303 for freight trains and freight cars operating with electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brake systems. In doing so, FRA revised the regulations governing freight power brakes and equipment in October 2008 by adding a new subpart G. The revisions are designed to provide for and encourage the safe implementation and use of ECP brake system technologies. These revisions contain specific requirements on the design, interoperability, training, inspection, testing, handling of defective equipment, and periodic maintenance related to ECP brake systems. The final rule also provides flexibility to facilitate the voluntary adoption of this advanced brake system technology. The collection of information is used by FRA to monitor and enforce regulatory requirements related to power brakes on freight cars, including the requirements related to ECP brake systems. The collection of information is also used by locomotive engineers and road crews to verify that the terminal air brake test has been performed in a satisfactory manner. Type of Request: Extension with change of a currently approved information collection. Affected Public: Businesses. Form(s): N/A. Respondent Universe: 741 Railroads. Frequency of Submission: On occasion. Total Estimated Annual Responses: 30,518,808. Total Estimated Annual Burden: 1,045,478 hours. Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR 1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FRA 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.
