Abstract: Under 49 CFR part 216, FRA and State inspectors may issue a Special Notice for Repairs to notify a railroad in writing of an unsafe condition involving a locomotive, car, or track. The railroad must notify FRA in writing when the equipment is returned to service or the track is restored to a condition permitting operations at speeds authorized for a higher class, specifying the repairs completed. FRA and State inspectors use this information to remove from service freight cars, passenger cars, and locomotives until they can be restored to a serviceable condition. They also use this information to reduce the maximum authorized speed on a section of track until repairs can be made. Type of Request: Extension with change (revised estimates) of a current information collection. Affected Public: Businesses (railroads). Form(s): FRA F 6180.8; FRA F 6180.8A.

Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour Dollar Cost Equivalent: $1,232. Title: Bridge Safety Standards. OMB Control Number: 2130–0586. Abstract: The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) (Pub. L. 114–94, Dec. 4, 2015), Section 11405, ‘‘Bridge Inspection Reports,’’ provides a means for a State or a political subdivision of a State to obtain a public version of a bridge inspection report generated by a railroad for a bridge located within its respective jurisdiction. While the FAST Act VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:13 Aug 20, 2019 Jkt 247001 specifies that requests for such reports are to be filed with the Secretary of Transportation, the responsibility for fulfilling these requests is delegated to FRA. See 49 CFR 1.89. FRA’s currently approved information collection accounts for the burden that will be incurred by States and political subdivisions of States requesting a public version of a bridge inspection report generated by a railroad for a bridge located within their respective jurisdiction. FRA developed a Form titled ‘‘Bridge Inspection Report Public Version Request Form’’ to facilitate such requests by States and their political subdivisions. FRA accounts for the burden that will be incurred by railroads to provide the public version of a bridge inspection report upon agency request to FRA. As background, FRA’s final rule on bridge safety standards, 49 CFR part 237, normalized and established federal requirements for railroad bridges. See 75 FR 41281 (July 15, 2010). The final rule established minimum requirements to assure the structural integrity of railroad bridges and to protect the safe operation of trains over those bridges. The information collected is used by FRA to ensure that railroads/track owners meet Federal standards for bridge safety and comply with all the requirements of this regulation. In particular, the collection of information is used by FRA to confirm that railroads/track owners adopt and implement bridge management programs to properly inspect, maintain, modify, and repair all bridges that carry trains for which they are responsible. Railroads/track owners must conduct annual inspections of railroad bridges as well as special inspections, which must be carried out if natural or accidental events cause conditions that warrant such inspections. Further, railroads/track owners must incorporate provisions for internal audit into their bridge management programs and must conduct internal audits of bridge inspection reports. The internal audit information is used by railroads/track PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Total annual burden hours Total annual burden hour dollar cost equivalent 3 CFR section owners to verify that the inspection provisions of the bridge management program are being followed and to continually evaluate the effectiveness of their bridge management program and bridge inspection activities. FRA uses this information to ensure that railroads/track owners implement safe and effective bridge management and inspection programs.

Form(s): FRA F 6180.167. Respondent Universe: 741 railroads/ 50 States and DC/200 political subdivisions. Frequency of Submission: On occasion/monthly. Total Estimated Annual Responses: 16,037. Total Estimated Annual Burden: 4,857 hours. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour Dollar Cost Equivalent: $334,299. 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.
