(Generally, railroads will know whether they are close to changing among the three classifications.) Frequency of Response: On occasion. Total Annual Hour Burden: Less than 24 hours annually. Total Annual ‘‘Non-Hour Burden’’ Cost: The Classification Index Survey Form may be submitted electronically without non-hourly costs. Needs and Uses: Railroads are classified by size into groups of large, medium, and small carriers. The Board must determine the classification of each rail carrier as a Class I, Class II, or Class III railroad. Railroads with a Class I classification (large railroads) must file Annual Reports (Form R–1) under 49 U.S.C. 11145. See OMB Control Number 2140–0009 (Class I Railroad Annual Reports). These reports are used by the Board, other Federal agencies, and industry groups to monitor and assess railroad industry growth, financial stability, traffic, and operations, and to identify industry changes that may affect national transportation policy. All other railroads (those not required to file an (R–1) Annual Report) shall annually compute their adjusted revenues using the ‘‘railroad revenue deflator formula,’’ and, if the computation derived from that formula indicates a change in a carrier’s classification, that carrier must submit a ‘‘Classification Index Survey Form’’ to the Board pursuant to 49 CFR part 1201 General Instructions 1–1 and § 1241.15. 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 agency, third parties, or the public. Section 3507(b) of the PRA requires, concurrent with an agency’s submitting a collection to OMB for approval, a 30-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.
