Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:
Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks
approval of the Information Collection
Requests (ICRs) abstracted below. Before
submitting these ICRs to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified below.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before June 22,
2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the ICRs activities by mail to either:
Ms. Hodan Wells, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of
Railroad Safety, Regulatory Analysis
Division, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590; or
Ms. Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of
Administration, Office of Information
Technology, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
Commenters requesting FRA to
acknowledge receipt of their respective
comments must include a self-addressed
stamped postcard stating, ‘‘Comments
on OMB Control Number 2130–XXXX,’’
(the relevant OMB control number for
each ICR is listed below) and should
also include the title of the ICR.
Alternatively, comments may be faxed
to 202–493–6216 or 202–493–6497, or
emailed to Ms. Wells at hodan.wells@
dot.gov, or Ms. Toone at kim.toone@
dot.gov. Please refer to the 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
SUMMARY:

information collection submission to
OMB for approval.
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 through
1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites
interested parties to comment on the
following ICRs 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
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 may 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 summaries below describe the
ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Locomotive Cab Sanitation.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0552.
Abstract: FRA’s locomotive cab
sanitation standards, 49 CFR 229.137
and 229.139, prescribe minimum
standards for the locomotive cab
sanitation compartment, including the
toilet facility. FRA uses the information
collection associated with these
provisions to promote rail safety and
locomotive crew member health by
ensuring crew member access to a
functioning and sanitary toilet facility
and that railroads timely repair
defective and unsanitary conditions in
the sanitation compartment.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
information collection.
