Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 25725-25726 [2023-08831]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 2023 / Notices As described in Section I.A above, FICC’s proposal to replace the current detailed description of the stressed period with a more general description should give FICC more flexibility to respond to rapidly changing market conditions more quickly because FICC would be able to make adjustments to the stressed period without a rule change. As a result, this flexibility should enable FICC to better risk manage its credit exposure by enhancing FICC’s ability to calculate and collect margin commensurate with the risks and particular attributes of each member’s portfolio. For these reasons, the Commission believes that the proposed changes should help ensure that FICC produces margin levels commensurate with the risks and particular attributes of its members’ portfolios by adding flexibility to parameters for the stressed period to help ensure that the look-back period captures a sufficient number of stressed market events, and allowing FICC to make timely adjustments to the stressed period in response to rapidly changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Commission believes that the proposed changes would enhance FICC’s risk-based margin system to better enable FICC to cover its credit exposures to its members because the proposed changes consider the risks and particular attributes of the relevant products, portfolios, and markets, consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad–22(e)(6)(i).37 Similarly, the Commission believes that the proposed changes are reasonably designed to cover FICC’s credit exposures to its members because the proposed changes would enhance FICC’s risk-based margin system using appropriate methods for measuring credit exposures that account for relevant product risk factors and portfolio effects, consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad– 22(e)(6)(v).38 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 III. Conclusion On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act 39 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 40 that proposed rule change SR–FICC– CFR 240.17Ad–22(e)(6)(i).

VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Apr 26, 2023 Jkt 259001 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration Regulations Governing Certain Positive Train Control System Outages Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public about FRA’s regulations that currently govern certain outages of positive train control (PTC) systems during, for example, infrastructure upgrades and capital projects. This notice also contains information about the process a railroad must follow to obtain FRA’s approval before temporarily disabling its PTC system for such purposes. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical questions, please contact Gabe Neal, Staff Director, Signal, Train Control, and Crossings Division, telephone: 816–516–7168, email: Gabe.Neal@dot.gov. For legal questions, please contact Stephanie Anderson, Attorney Adviser, telephone: 202–834– 0609, email: Stephanie.Anderson@ dot.gov. SUMMARY: By law, PTC systems must govern operations on PTC-mandated main lines, which SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 currently encompass approximately 58,000 route miles, and include Class I railroads’ main lines over which poisonor toxic-by-inhalation hazardous materials are transported and any railroads’ main lines over which intercity or commuter rail passenger transportation is regularly provided.1 Previously, FRA’s regulations permitted railroads to temporarily disable PTC systems where necessary to perform PTC system repair or maintenance.2 That temporary flexibility expired, by regulation, on December 31, 2022.3 Under that temporary provision, railroads were required only to notify to FRA; seeking FRA’s approval was not necessary. FRA appreciates that several types of PTC systems can be upgraded seamlessly, without necessitating an interruption of PTC system service. FRA also recognizes, however, that in limited cases, even those types of PTC systems might experience temporary outages for a short period during certain infrastructure upgrades.4 In addition, FRA understands that the design of certain PTC systems, including the Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System II on the Northeast Corridor, may require more extended periods of outages to facilitate ongoing capital projects. FRA expects that, in such a case, a railroad would schedule the temporary disabling of its PTC system for the time posing the least risk to railroad safety and for the minimum time necessary to complete the capital project and recommission its PTC system.5 As noted above, 49 CFR 236.1029(g)(3) previously permitted railroads to temporarily disable their PTC systems, with just notification to FRA; however, that provision expired on December 31, 2022, and is therefore no longer available for railroads to utilize. Now, if a railroad needs to disable its PTC system temporarily for maintenance or upgrade purposes, a railroad must obtain FRA’s approval under 49 CFR 236.1021, Discontinuances, material modifications, and amendments, before temporarily disabling its PTC system or 1 Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 20157; Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 236.1005(b), 236.1006(a). This requirement does not apply, however, to a railroad’s controlling locomotives that are subject to either a temporary or permanent exception under 49 U.S.C. 20157(j)–(k) or 49 CFR 236.1006(b). 2 49 CFR 236.1029(g)(3). 3 Id. 4 For example, FRA is aware of multiple railroads’ electrical infrastructure upgrade projects that involved disabling the PTC system for a maximum period of four hours. 5 See 49 CFR 236.1029(g)(3)(ii), 236.1033(f).
