OOD’s Division of Disability
Determination (DDD), and Ohio’s
Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation
(BVR). ODRD builds off other work by
SSA exploring ways to improve the
adult employment outcomes and
financial independence for SSI
recipients and SSI and SSDI applicants
who are in the process of transitioning
to adulthood. ODRD tests the effects of
a direct referral to vocational
rehabilitation services for individuals
aged 18 or 19 who are in the process of
applying for, or undergoing an
evaluation to, retain SSDI benefits or
SSI payments. We will use the data
collected to answer the following
questions:
• What effect did the intervention
have on receipt of Ohio’s BVR services?
• What effect did the intervention
have on employment outcomes, such as
job placement and earnings?
• What is the length of time from
application to eligibility decision?
• What general vocational
rehabilitation outcomes did participants
achieve?
• What was the number of closed
cases resulting in employment and what
was the number of cases closed for other
reasons?
Ohio Direct Referral Demonstration
(ODRD) Project
Currently, SSA is seeking OMB
clearance for the data collection related
to enrollment and evaluation of the
ODRD. Using SSA claims records,
which DDD will access to perform
disability determinations for SSA, DDD
will attempt to recruit at least 750
participants.
As required under SSA’s
demonstration authority, DDD will
obtain signed, informed consent from
individuals who want to participate in
the demonstration. Recruitment for the
ODRD will require two forms: (1) A new
Invitation to Participate and Consent
form, and (2) Form SSA–3288, Consent
for Release of Information (OMB #0960
0566). ODD will send the new Invitation
to Participate and Consent form to
young adult disability recipients, whose
claim we sent to the DDD for a
continuing disability review, and
applicants to see if they are interested
in participating in the demonstration.
The ODRD Invitation to Participate and
Consent forms will meet the informed
consent requirements in the Social
Security Act (Act) and SSA regulations.
Specifically, they include language
explaining the study as well as potential

benefits and harms. SSA will use
administrative records systems and BVR
data to evaluate the effect of the
demonstration.
This is a onetime collection of
information, and there are no surveys or
additional data collections for the
ODRD. This collection is voluntary, and
participation in this demonstration will
have no impact on respondents’
disability determination, benefits, or SSI
payments. In addition, participation in
the ODRD is revocable at any time. SSA
and OOD will remove participants who
revoke consent from the demonstration.
Upon notification of revocation of
participation, SSA and OOD will no
longer use, transmit, or request
information about the participant who
revoked participation in any ODRD data
exchange or analysis. Participation in
the ODRD will have no effect on DDD’s
usual process for deciding eligibility for
SSI payments or SSDI benefits.
The respondents are individuals aged
18 or 19 who are in the process of
applying for, or undergoing an
evaluation, to obtain or retain SSDI
benefits or SSI payments.
Type of Request: This is a new

Railroad Annual Report
Surface Transportation Board.
Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the
Surface Transportation Board (STB or
Board) gives notice of its intent to seek
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for an extension of
the collection of Class I Railroad Annual
Reports, described below.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 177 / Thursday, September 12, 2019 / Notices
Comments on this information
collection should be submitted by
November 12, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to
Chris Oehrle, Surface Transportation
Board, 395 E Street SW, Washington, DC
20423–0001, or to PRA@stb.gov. When
submitting comments, please refer to
‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act Comments,
Class I Railroad Annual Report.’’ For
further information regarding this
collection, contact Pedro Ramirez at
(202) 245–0333 or pedro.ramirez@
stb.gov. Assistance for the hearing
impaired is available through the
Federal Relay Service at (800) 877–8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are requested concerning: (1) The
accuracy of the Board’s burden
estimates; (2) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; (3) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, when
appropriate; and (4) whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Board, including
whether the collection has practical
utility. Submitted comments will be
summarized and included in the
Board’s request for OMB approval.
Description of Collection:
Title: Class I Railroad Annual Report.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0009.
Form Number: R–1.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Respondents: Class I railroads.
Number of Respondents: Seven.
Estimated Time per Response: No
more than 250 hours. This estimate
includes time spent reviewing
instructions; searching existing data
sources; gathering and maintaining the
data needed; completing and reviewing
the collection of information; and
converting the data from the carrier’s
individual accounting system to the
Board’s Uniform System of Accounts,
which ensures that the information will
be presented in a consistent format
across all reporting railroads. In prior
years, the estimate was higher, but many
of these functions have become
automated and more routine through the
respondents’ software programming.
Thus, the time per response has been
reduced, with additional technological
efficiencies anticipated in the future.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Total Annual Hour Burden: No more
than 1,750 hours annually.
Total Annual ‘‘Non-Hour Burden’’
Cost: No ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens

associated with this collection have
been identified. The information is
submitted electronically.
Needs and Uses: Annual reports are
required to be filed by Class I railroads
under 49 U.S.C. 11145. The reports
show operating expenses and operating
statistics of the carriers. Operating
expenses include costs for right-of-way
and structures, equipment, train and
yard operations, and general and
administrative expenses. Operating
statistics include such items as carmiles, revenue-ton-miles, and gross tonmiles. These reports are used by the
Board, other Federal agencies, and
industry groups to monitor and assess
railroad industry growth, financial
stability, traffic, and operations, and to
identify industry changes that may
affect national transportation policy.
Information from these reports is also
entered into the Uniform Railroad
Costing System (URCS), which is the
Board’s general purpose costing
methodology. URCS, which was
developed by the Board pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 11161, is used as a tool in rail
rate proceedings (in accordance with 49
U.S.C. 10707(d)) to calculate the
variable costs associated with providing
a particular service. The Board also uses
information from this collection to more
effectively carry out other regulatory
responsibilities, including: Acting on
railroad requests for authority to engage
in Board-regulated financial
transactions such as mergers,
acquisitions of control, and
consolidations, see 49 U.S.C. 11323–24;
analyzing the information that the Board
obtains through the annual railroad
industry waybill sample, see 49 CFR
1244; measuring off-branch costs in
railroad abandonment proceedings, in
accordance with 49 CFR 1152.32(n);
developing the ‘‘rail cost adjustment
factors,’’ in accordance with 49 U.S.C.
10708; and conducting investigations
and rulemakings.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), federal agencies are
required to provide, prior to an agency’s
submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-day notice and comment
period through publication in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
