[Docket No. FRA–2020–0027–N–34]
Agency Request for Emergency
Processing of Collection of
Information by the Office of
Management and Budget
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Consistent with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
its implementing regulations, this
document provides notice that FRA is
submitting the following Information
Collection Request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
collect information on ridership data
and certified schedule metrics as
required by the recently issued final
rule on Metrics and Minimum
Standards for Intercity Passenger Rail
Service. FRA requests emergency
processing and OMB authorization to
collect the information after publication
of this Notice for a period of six (6)
months.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, by email:
Kim.Toone@dot.gov or by telephone:
(202) 493–6192.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 16, 2008, President George W.
Bush signed the Passenger Rail
Investment and Improvement Act of
2008, Public Law 110–432, 122 Stat.
4907 (PRIIA) into law. Section 207 of
PRIIA requires FRA and Amtrak jointly
to develop new or improved metrics and
minimum standards for measuring the
performance and service quality of
intercity passenger train operations,
including cost recovery, on-time
performance and minutes of delay,
ridership, on-board services, stations,
facilities, equipment, and other services.
Section 207 also calls for consultation
with the Surface Transportation Board,
rail carriers over whose rail lines
Amtrak trains operate, States, Amtrak
employees, and groups representing
Amtrak passengers, as appropriate.
Section 207 further provides that the
metrics, at a minimum, must include:
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
74783
The percentage of avoidable and fully
allocated operating costs covered by
passenger revenues on each route;
ridership per train mile operated;
measures of on-time performance and
delays incurred by intercity passenger
trains on the rail lines of each rail
carrier; and, for long-distance routes,
measures of connectivity with other
routes in all regions currently receiving
Amtrak service and the transportation
needs of communities and populations
that are not well-served by other forms
of intercity transportation.
Section 207 also provides that the
FRA Administrator must collect the
necessary data and publish a quarterly
report on the performance and service
quality of intercity passenger train
operations, including Amtrak’s cost
recovery, ridership, on-time
performance and minutes of delay,
causes of delay, on-board services,
stations, facilities, equipment, and other
services.
In connection with the Congressional
mandate, FRA’s Metrics and Minimum
Standards for Intercity Passenger Rail
Service final rule 1 sets forth a number
of metrics. This emergency information
request is for only two (2) of those
metrics. A separate information
collection request will be published at
a later date, covering all information
collections required under the final rule,
which includes Amtrak reporting data
to FRA associated with a total 17 of
these metrics on a quarterly basis and 4
on an annual basis.
As provided under 5 CFR 1320.13,
FRA is requesting emergency processing
for Section 273.5(b) Ridership data
metrics and 273.5(c) Certified schedule
metrics. FRA cannot reasonably comply
with normal clearance procedures since
they would be reasonably likely to
disrupt the function of the rule. As
required by 49 CFR part 273, Section
273.5(b), Amtrak is expected to begin
reporting to FRA on the Ridership data
metric in December 2020 and then by
the 15th day of each month thereafter.
As required by 49 CFR 273, Section
273.5(c), Amtrak is also expected to
begin reporting to FRA on the Certified
schedule metric on December 16, 2020,
and then subsequently report monthly
for six months, again in November 2021,
and then every 12 months thereafter.
Therefore, FRA cannot wait the typical
60-day period for public comment.
Accordingly, FRA is requesting OMB
approval as soon as possible (i.e., 5
business days after publication of this
Notice) for this collection of
information.

information. The Board published this
proposal on behalf of the agencies.
Finally, on October 4, 2019, the
agencies, under the auspices of the
FFIEC, requested public comment for 60
days on proposed Call Report and FFIEC

capacity (TLAC) investments rule for
advanced approaches banking
organizations.
The comment period for the July 2020
notice ended on September 21, 2020.
The comment period for the October
2019 notice ended on December 3, 2019,
and the agencies subsequently adopted
a TLAC investments final rule. As
