mitigation that is planned as additional
details become available.
Non-routine mitigation measures
associated with cultural resources,
specifically the historic Henry Hollister
House, include adherence to the project
specific MOA that has been executed for
the Cumberland Retirement project.
These mitigation measures include:
• Installation of a Tennessee
Historical Marker
Æ TVA will submit a proposal for a
historical marker through the Tennessee
Historical Commission’s (THC’s)
Historical Markers Program; work with
THC staff regarding eligibility of the
proposed marker for the program and
regarding the marker’s location and text;
and install the marker, at TVA’s
expense, in an appropriate location,
accessible by the public, near the
Hollister House. The historical marker
will present a brief narrative of the
history and historic significance of the
Hollister House.
• Vegetative Screening
Æ TVA will plant trees to screen
views to the new facilities from the
Hollister House.
Æ TVA will create the vegetative
screening using various tree species,
including native species, and including
both deciduous and evergreen species.
Æ TVA will plant the vegetative
screening on the south and east sides of
the Hollister House, on TVA property.
Æ TVA will maintain the vegetative
screening for so long as TVA owns and
operates the new CC plant, so that it
may provide the visual screen in
perpetuity.
• Study of Graveyard Hill Cemetery
Æ TVA will complete a search for
documents related to the Graveyard Hill
Cemetery and the persons who may be
buried there.
Æ The archival study will endeavor to
include (but will not necessarily be
limited to) the following sources: birth
and death certificates, marriage
certificates, deeds, census data, records
of sales in the slave trade, and
obituaries.
Æ TVA will also complete a
delineation of the cemetery using one or
more remote sensing methods and shall
attempt to identify the boundaries of the
cemetery and anomalies that could
correspond to graves.
Æ TVA will prepare a report of the
investigations and submit them to SHPO
for review and comment and provide a
final report that addresses any
comments received from SHPO/THC.
• Updating the Hollister House
National Register of Historic Places
NRHP Registration Form
Æ TVA will update the Hollister
House NRHP Registration Form, which
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:29 Jan 19, 2023
Jkt 259001
was completed in 1987, with new
information detailed in three historic
architectural assessments performed
between 2012 and 2022.
Æ The new information will include
details of the history of the property and
the associated cemeteries (Brunson/
Hollister Cemetery and Graveyard Hill
Cemetery), additional historic
photographs, and information on the
property’s current condition, and the
inclusion of any additional resources
that TVA and SHPO agree in
consultation are contributing resources
to the Hollister House.
Æ TVA will provide the updated form
to the THC for review, and upon
approval, to the NPS.
Dated: January 10, 2023.

President & Chief Executive Officer,
Tennessee Valley Authority.

Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:
Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA will
seek approval of the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below. Before submitting this ICR to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval, FRA is soliciting
public comment on specific aspects of
the activities identified in the ICR.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before March
21, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be submitted on regulations.gov
to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2023–
0002. All comments received will be
posted without change to the docket,
including any personal information
provided. Please refer to the assigned
OMB control number (2130–0537) in
any correspondence submitted. FRA
will summarize comments received in
response to this notice in a subsequent
notice and include them in its

information collection submission to
OMB for approval.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Hodan Wells, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, at email:
Hodan.Wells@dot.gov or telephone:
(202) 868–9412.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days’ notice to the public to
allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8–1320.12.
Specifically, FRA invites interested
parties to comment on the following ICR
regarding: (1) whether the information
collection activities are necessary for
FRA to properly execute its functions,
including whether the activities will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
FRA’s estimates of the burden of the
information collection activities,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public
comment may reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information that
Federal statutes and regulations
mandate. In summary, FRA reasons that
comments received will advance three
objectives: (1) reduce reporting burdens;
(2) organize information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user-friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
The summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Railroad Police Officers.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0537.
Abstract: Title 49 CFR part 207
requires railroads to notify States of all
designated police officers who perform
duties in their respective jurisdictions
who were commissioned as police
officers by another State or States. This
is necessary to verify proper police
authority.
In this 60-day notice, FRA made
multiple adjustments which increased
the previously approved burden hours
from 11 hours to 18 hours. For instance:
E:\FR\FM\20JAN1.SGM
20JAN1
3772
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 13 / Friday, January 20, 2023 / Notices
• Under §§ 207.4(a), 207.4(b), and
207.6, the combined burden increased
from 11 hours to 15.84 hours because of
an increase in number of responses—
from 100 to 150 updated notices and
records per year. FRA’s estimate is
based on the anticipated increase in law
enforcement in the railroad industry.
• FRA also added a new burden
under § 207.4(b) to capture railroads’
responses to FRA’s inquiries regarding
program review of the notification
process.

change (revised estimates) of a currently
