The itemized sub-collections may be filed electronically. Needs and Uses: Under the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended by the ICC Termination Act of 1995, the Board is responsible for the economic regulation of common carrier rail transportation. Under 49 U.S.C. 1321(b), 11123, and 11145(a), the Board is empowered to address immediate service issues. Collecting this information will enable the Board to take necessary action to timely deal with the unanticipated and urgent service issues affecting the U.S. rail system. These measures are meant to inform the Board’s assessment of further actions that may be warranted to address the acute service issues facing the rail industry and to promote industry-wide transparency, accountability, and improvements in rail service. At the Board’s April 26 and 27, 2022 public hearing in Urgent Issues in Freight Rail Service, the Board received extensive testimony on severe rail service issues reported by a wide range of witnesses—including agricultural, energy, and other shippers, as well as government officials, rail labor, and rail experts. The Board has also continued to review and monitor weekly rail service performance data that indicated substantial deterioration in service. This information collection focuses on the adequacy of service recovery efforts involving BNSF Railway Company (BNSF), CSX Transportation (CSXT), Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS), and Union Pacific Railroad Company UP), and it requires more comprehensive and customer-centric reporting of all Class I (large) railroads’ service metrics. In a decision served on May 6, 2022, the Board found that immediate action was needed to address significant service problems, and it ordered certain railroads to immediately submit relevant information. The Board took this action to better inform its assessment of actions that may be VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:18 Nov 02, 2022 Jkt 259001 warranted to address rail service issues. In a decision served on June 13, 2022, the Board required UP, BNSF, CSXT, and NS to correct deficiencies in their service recovery plans and provide additional information on their actions to improve service and communications with customers. Now, in a decision served on October 28, 2022, the Board extended the temporary reporting period for all seven Class I carriers and required certain updated information from UP, BNSF, CSXT, and NS. The Board directed these four carriers to continue to submit biweekly service progress reports for an additional six-month period, until May 5, 2023. The Board also directed all Class I railroads to submit weekly performance data during this period. Although not all Class I carriers are experiencing service problems to the same degree, the U.S. rail system is an interconnected network and problems in one geographic area can quickly spread elsewhere. The application of certain reporting requirements to all Class I carriers allows the Board to assess the current service issues across the entire rail network. All Class I carriers must also continue to submit monthly employment data in this docket, as described in the May 6 Order. Specific instructions for this information collection and analysis of recent data are provided in the October 28 order. The information received by the Board from this collection will continue to be filed in Docket No. EP 770 (SubNo. 1) and will be publicly available at www.stb.gov. The information may be found by a search in that docket under the ‘‘proceedings and dockets’’ pulldown menu. The Board makes this submission because, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.
