c. Performance Reporting
Each applicant selected for funding
must collect information and report on
the project’s performance using
measures mutually agreed upon by FRA
and the grantee to assess progress in
achieving strategic goals and objectives.
Examples of some rail performance
measures are listed in the table below.
The applicable measure(s) will depend
upon the type of project. Applicants
35507
requesting funding for rolling stock
must integrate at least one equipment/
rolling stock performance measure,
consistent with the grantee’s application
materials and program goals.

The number of miles per year within the
project area that have temporary speed
restrictions (‘‘slow orders’’) imposed due
to track condition. This is an indicator of
the overall condition of track. This measure can be used for projects to rehabilitate sections of a rail line since the rehabilitation should eliminate, or at least reduce the slow orders upon project completion.
The number of annual automobile crossings
that are eliminated at an at-grade crossing as a result of a new grade separation.
Count of the annual passenger boardings
and alightings at stations within the
project area.
Point-to-point travel times between pre-determined station stops within the project
area. This measure demonstrates how
track improvements and other upgrades
improve operations on a rail line. It also
helps make sure the railroad is maintaining the line after project completion.
The number of track miles that exist within
the project area. This measure can be
beneficial for projects building sidings or
sections of additional main line track on a
railroad.

Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001
(USA PATRIOT Act) (Pub. L. 107–56)
and other legislation. The BSA is
codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b, 12 U.S.C.
1951–1959, 31 U.S.C. 5311–5314 and

The BSA authorizes the Secretary of
the Treasury, inter alia, to require
financial institutions to keep records
and file reports that are determined to
have a high degree of usefulness in
criminal, tax, and regulatory matters, or
in the conduct of intelligence or
counter-intelligence activities, to protect
against international terrorism, and to
implement counter-money laundering
programs and compliance procedures.1
Regulations implementing Title II of the
BSA appear at 31 CFR chapter X. The
authority of the Secretary to administer
the BSA has been delegated to the
Director of FinCEN.2

Abstract: FinCEN is issuing this
notice to renew, without change, the
Agency’s capability to solicit feedback
from the public with respect to
timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable. The Agency will
only submit a collection for approval
under this generic clearance if it meets
the following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
government;
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained;
• Information gathered is intended to
be used only internally for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the
agency (if released, the agency must
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections

4 FinCEN anticipates it will send surveys to
approximately 15,000 BSA-regulated financial
institutions over the three-year period requested for
approval of this OMB control number.
5 FinCEN anticipates, on average, sending ten
surveys per year to approximately 500 respondents
per survey. Over the three-year period requested for
approval of this OMB control number that equates
to 15,000 responses.
6 FinCEN anticipates the surveys will average 15
to 40 minutes to complete, so FinCEN will
conservatively approximate 10,000 burden hours
are needed for the three-year period requested for
approval of this OMB control number (40 minutes
multiplied by 15,000 responses converted to hours).
