land from aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the
lease of airport property located at John
Glenn Columbus International Airport,
Columbus, Ohio. The aforementioned
land is not needed for aeronautical use.
The subject property is located along
the northern property boundary of the
airport; north of Bridgeway Avenue. The
parcel is currently vacant. The parcel
presently serves the primary purpose of
compatible land use. The parcel will
continue to serve in this same capacity
with a proposed change to
nonaeronautical, revenue-producing use
from its present aeronautical use
designation. The parcel will be used for
construction of a 2-story office building,
approximately 19,600 square feet,
connected to a 80,100 square foot
building, and the potential to add a
30,000 square foot building. The
proposed development also includes
approximately 289 parking spaces with
the flexibility to add 14 spaces for future
expansion.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before June 6, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Documents are available for
review by appointment at the FAA
Detroit Airports District Office, 11677
South Wayne Road, Suite 107, Romulus,
Michigan 48174 or the Columbus
Regional Airport Authority, Planning
and Engineering, John Glenn Columbus

Written comments on the Sponsor’s
request must be delivered or mailed to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with section 47107(h) of
title 49, United States Code, this notice
is required to be published in the
Federal Register 30 days before
modifying the land-use assurance that
requires the property to be used for an
aeronautical purpose.
The parcel is depicted on the Airport
Layout Plan (ALP) dated November 17,
2011, and the Exhibit ‘‘A’’ property
map. The parcel was acquired with
Airport Improvement Program (AIP)
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
Grants: 3–39–0025–01, 3–39–0024–02,
and 06–39–0025–04.
No airport landside or airside
facilities are presently located on this
parcel nor is airport development
contemplated in the future.
Development of the parcel for airside or
landside operations is not practical due
to Bridgeway Avenue’s location which
precludes aeronautical development
from being contiguous to the airfield.
Relocating the road is cost prohibitive.
There are no impacts to the airport by
allowing it to waive the requirement to
maintain the parcel for aeronautical use.
The sponsor will control use of the
parcel through the terms and conditions
of the ground lease. The lease will be
subordinate to the sponsor’s existing
grant assurances. This will ensure that
all activities contemplated on the parcel
will be compatible with FAA
requirements and airport operations.
The disposition of proceeds from the
lease of airport property will be in
accordance with FAA’s Policy and
Procedures Concerning the Use of
Airport Revenue, published in the
Federal Register on February 16, 1999
(64 FR 7696).
This notice announces that the FAA
is considering the release of the subject
airport property at the John Glenn
Columbus International Airport,
Columbus, Ohio from its obligations to
be maintained for aeronautical
purposes. Approval does not constitute
a commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the change in use of the subject
airport property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from
the FAA.
A Categorical Exclusion addressing
the proposed development of the parcel
was prepared. The Categorical
Exclusion was executed by the FAA on
June 14, 2018.
Following is a legal description of the
subject airport property at the John
Glenn Columbus International Airport
in Columbus, Ohio:

the information collection and its

FRA published a notice providing a 60day period for public comment on the
ICR.

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.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8
through 1320.12. On October 26, 2018,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
the ICR for which it is now seeking
OMB approval. See 83 FR 54173. FRA
received one comment in response to
this notice from the Transportation
Trades Department, AFL–CIO (TTD).
TTD questioned the scope of the study
due to the intent to survey locomotive
engineers, while excluding conductors,
whom TTD contends are equally likely
to suffer additional fatigue due to
commute time. TTD explained that, like
engineers, conductors are required to
perform a number of safety-sensitive
functions on the job, which can be
hampered by fatigue. Additionally, TTD
notes the hours of service statute and
regulations do not differentiate between
the two occupations, providing identical
fatigue protections for all ‘‘train
employees.’’ To address these concerns,
FRA revised the scope of the study to
include conductors in addition to
locomotive engineers. The inclusion of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
conductors will enable FRA to get the
most complete results from this study
on fatigue conditions.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve this proposed collection of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 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
1320.10(b); 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.
Comments are invited on the
following ICR regarding: (1) Whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
information 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 to minimize the
burden of information collection
activities on the public, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
The summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: The Impact of Commute Times
on the Fatigue and Safety of Locomotive
Engineers and Conductors.
OMB Control Number: 2130–NEW.
Abstract: Time-on-task and time
awake are two well-known factors that
contribute to fatigue. Time-on-task
refers to the length of time a person has
been performing a task, whereas time
awake refers to the length of time since
a person last slept. Both these factors
can have a detrimental effect on
performance, with the risk of adverse
safety events (e.g., crashes) increasing as
the length of time that a person
performs a task or remains awake
increases. These factors also influence
each other; that is, the negative effects
of increasing time-on-task may become
evident sooner if the person has also
been awake for a long time. Drivers with
longer commutes experience greater
time awake and time-on-task than
drivers with shorter commutes. A
growing body of evidence from a
PO 00000

number of industries (e.g., medical,
mining, long-haul trucking) suggests
that commuting time has a detrimental
impact on driving performance,
particularly when combined with nighttime shift work. However, the extent to
which these factors impact the fatigue
and safety of locomotive engineers and
conductors remains unknown.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Affected Public: Railroad Workers.
Form(s): FRA F 245.
Respondent Universe: 69,000 total
(31,000 locomotive engineers and
38,000 conductors).
Frequency of Submission: Single
submission per person.
Reporting Burden: The estimated total
annual burden is 3,450 hours across the
10,350 locomotive engineers and
conductors (estimating a 15% response
rate). Each respondent completes a
single online questionnaire and the
questionnaire is estimated to take 20
minutes.
Total Estimated Annual Responses:
10,350 responses.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
3,450 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.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
