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 through
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 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: System Safety Program Plan.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0599.
Abstract: In 2020, FRA issued a final
rule 1 that requires passenger rail

operations to develop and implement a
system safety program (SSP) to improve
the safety of their operations. Each
passenger rail operation has the
flexibility to tailor an SSP to its specific
railroad operations.
FRA uses the information collected to
help ensure that commuter and intercity
passenger rail operations establish and
implement SSPs to improve the safety of
their operations and to confirm
compliance with the rule. Each railroad
operation should use its SSP to
proactively identify and mitigate or
eliminate hazards and the resulting risk
on its system at an early stage to reduce
the number of railroad accidents,
incidents, and associated injuries,
fatalities, and property damage. A
passenger rail operation has the
flexibility to tailor an SSP to its specific
operations. An SSP will be
implemented when FRA approves a
passenger rail operation’s submitted
SSP plan. Under the SSP regulation,
FRA will audit a passenger rail
operation’s compliance with its SSP
plan and will use the information
collected to ensure compliance with this
regulation.
In this 60-day notice, FRA has made
multiple adjustments to its estimated
paperwork burden, resulting in a
reduction of 388 hours, from 2,279
hours in the current inventory to 1,891
hours in the requested inventory. The
primary reason for the reduction in the
estimated paperwork burden is the
expected decrease in the number of
responses. Specifically, all passenger
rail operations currently subject to the
regulation have already submitted their
SSP plans, leading to a decrease in the
overall PRA burden. This reduction in
submissions, reduced by 427 hours, has
significantly contributed to the overall
decrease in the estimated paperwork
burden hours in the requested
inventory. FRA has uploaded a table on
regulations.gov under Docket No. FRA–
2023–0002, which displays all the
burden adjustments.
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.

Title: System Safety Program Plan.
OMB Control Number: 2130-0599.
Abstract: In 2020, FRA issued a final rule \1\ that requires
passenger rail operations to develop and implement a system safety
program (SSP) to improve the safety of their operations. Each passenger
rail operation has the flexibility to tailor an SSP to its specific
railroad operations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 85 FR 12826 (Mar. 4, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FRA uses the information collected to help ensure that commuter and
intercity passenger rail operations establish and implement SSPs to
improve the safety of their operations and to confirm compliance with
the rule. Each railroad operation should use its SSP to proactively
identify and mitigate or eliminate hazards and the resulting risk on
its system at an early stage to reduce the number of railroad
accidents, incidents, and associated injuries, fatalities, and property
damage. A passenger rail operation has the flexibility to tailor an SSP
to its specific operations. An SSP will be implemented when FRA
approves a passenger rail operation's submitted SSP plan. Under the SSP
regulation, FRA will audit a passenger rail operation's compliance with
its SSP plan and will use the information collected to ensure
compliance with this regulation.
In this 60-day notice, FRA has made multiple adjustments to its
estimated paperwork burden, resulting in a reduction of 388 hours, from
2,279 hours in the current inventory to 1,891 hours in the requested
inventory. The primary reason for the reduction in the estimated
paperwork burden is the expected decrease in the number of responses.
Specifically, all passenger rail operations currently subject to the
regulation have already submitted their SSP plans, leading to a
decrease in the overall PRA burden. This reduction in submissions,
reduced by 427 hours, has significantly contributed to the overall
decrease in the estimated paperwork burden hours in the requested
inventory. FRA has uploaded a table on regulations.gov under Docket No.
