Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: There
are no other costs identified because
filings are submitted electronically to
the Board.
Needs and Uses: Under 49 CFR part
1250, the Board requires the nation’s
seven Class I (large) railroads and the
Chicago Transportation Coordination
Office (CTCO), through its Class I
members, to report certain railroad
service performance metrics on a
weekly basis and certain other
information on a quarterly and
occasional basis. This collection of rail
service data aids the Board in
identifying rail service issues, allowing
the Board to better understand current
service issues and to identify and
address potential future regional and
national service disruptions more
quickly. The transparency resulting
from this collection also benefits rail
shippers and other stakeholders by
helping them to better plan operations
and make informed decisions based on
publicly available, near real-time data
and their own analysis of performance
trends over time.
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.

Needs and Uses: Under 49 CFR
1108.5, arbitration commences with a
written complaint that contains a
statement that the relevant parties are
participants in the Board’s arbitration
program, or that the complainant is
willing to arbitrate the dispute pursuant
to the Board’s arbitration procedures.
The respondent’s answer to the written
complaint must then indicate the
respondent’s participation in the
Board’s arbitration program or its
willingness to arbitrate the dispute at
hand pursuant to the Board’s arbitration
procedures.
As an alternative to filing a written
complaint, parties may submit a joint
notice to the Board, indicating the
consent of both parties to submit an
issue in dispute to the Board’s
arbitration program. In the joint notice,
parties state the issue(s) that they are
willing to submit to arbitration. The
notice must contain a statement that
would indicate that all relevant parties
are participants in the Board’s
arbitration program pursuant to
§ 1108.3(a), or that the relevant parties
are willing to arbitrate voluntarily a
matter pursuant to the Board’s
arbitration procedures, and the relief
requested. The notice must also indicate
whether parties have agreed to a threemember arbitration panel or a single
arbitrator and must indicate whether the
parties have mutually agreed to a lower
amount of potential liability in lieu of
the monetary award cap that would
otherwise be applicable. The joint
notice encourages greater use of
arbitration to resolve disputes at the
Board.
