SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Pub. L. 104–13, Section 2, 109
Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised at
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On April 22,
2022, FTA published a 60-day notice
(87 FR 24222) in the Federal Register
soliciting comments on the ICR that the
agency was seeking OMB approval. FTA
received no comments after issuing this
60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT
announces that these information
collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12(c).
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires
OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR
1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the
30-day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
best ensure having their full effect. 5
CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995.
The summaries below describe the
nature of the information collection
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The requirements are being
submitted for clearance by OMB as
required by the PRA.
Title: Rail Fixed Guideway Systems;
State Safety Oversight.
OMB Control Number: 2132–0558.
Background: FTA administers a
national program for public
transportation safety under 49 U.S.C.
Section 5329. One element of this
program, at 49 U.S.C. 5329(e), requires
PO 00000
Frm 00150
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52109
States to oversee the safety of the rail
transit agencies (RTAs) in their
jurisdictions, including heavy and light
rail systems, streetcars, inclined planes,
cable cars, monorail/automated
guideways and hybrid rail. Through this
program, State Safety Oversight
Agencies (SSOAs) ensure that RTAs
identify and address safety risks, follow
their safety rules and procedures, and
take corrective action to address safety
deficiencies.
The information collection activities
request is for a renewal without change
of a currently approved collection. The
information collection focus is on the
activities of SSOAs and RTAs to report
information to FTA. This request for
renewal of an existing information
collection does not reflect any changes
as a result of the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law. In the event that
FTA updates State Safety Oversight
requirements, FTA will seek comment
from stakeholders through the
publication of a separate Federal
Register notice outside of the Paperwork
Reduction Act process.
The information collection request
includes the annual report FTA requires
from SSOAs, FTA’s grant management
reporting requirement and the triennial
audit program, which requires
information from both SSOAs and
RTAs. Further, the information
collection continues to reflect
requirements for SSOAs and RTAs to
respond to FTA directives and
advisories, and SSOAs participation in
monthly teleconference calls with FTA.
Finally, the information collection
request includes RTA event
notifications to FTA.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 96 respondents.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 1,454.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 16,366 hours.
Frequency: Annually.
