that handles railcars containing
hazardous materials. Generally, the
requirements of subparts C and E of part
228 are intended to provide coveredservice employees an opportunity for
rest free from the interruptions caused
by noise under the control of the
railroad.
The information collected under this
rule is used by FRA to ensure railroads
operating camp cars comply with all the
requirements mandated in this
regulation to protect the health and
safety of camp car occupants. FRA
estimates that there is one railroad that
may choose to use camp cars in the
three-year period covered by this ICR.
That estimate is unchanged from the last
ICR submitted to OMB in 2021. Since
March 2020, no railroads have used
camp cars. However, camp cars were
used by one railroad before the COVID–
19 pandemic led to discontinuation of
their use and it is possible the same
railroad or another railroad may decide
to again use camp cars in the next three
years. Therefore, in this 60-day notice,
FRA makes no adjustments to the
previously approved burden hours in
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs (OIRA) inventory.1
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.

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, 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: Metrics and Minimum
Standards for Intercity Passenger Train
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0632.
Abstract: In November 2020, in
connection with a Congressional
mandate, FRA published a final rule
titled Metrics and Minimum Standards
for Intercity Passenger Train Operations.
(49 CFR part 273). The final rule
established metrics and a minimum
standard for measuring the performance
and service quality of intercity
passenger train operations, including
cost recovery, on-time performance and
minutes of delay, ridership, on-board
services, stations, facilities, equipment,
and other services.1
In this 60-day notice, FRA makes
adjustments that will reduce the
currently approved burden hours from
507 to 141 hours. The reduced burden
hours are a result of 126 one-time startup burden hours required by Amtrak to
initially create a system to process,
prepare, and submit this data. Now that
a system has been implemented, the
estimated timeframe it takes to produce
the data has been reduced and is
reflected in the adjusted burden hours
for each of the requirement that are
being completed under the following
sections:
§ 273.5(b) Ridership data—10-hour
start-up burden.
§ 273.5(c) Certified schedule—26-hour
start-up burden.
§ 273.5(f) Station performance—20hour start-up burden.
§ 273.5(g) Host running time—40-hour
start-up burden.
§ 273.11(b) Missed connections—10hour start-up burden.
§ 273.11(c) Community access—10hour start-up burden.
§ 273.11(d) Service availability—10hour start-up burden.
Additionally, under § 273.5(c)(2), the
estimated burden has been reduced
from 300 to 60 hours to accurately
reflect the number of anticipated
responses for the next three-year
information collection period, based on
experience from the first three years this
regulation was in effect.
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Amtrak.

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request
AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks approval of the Information
Collection Request (ICR) summarized 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
April 22, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be submitted on regulations.gov to the docket, Docket No. FRA-
2024-0008. All comments received will be posted without change to the
docket, including any personal information provided. Please refer to
the assigned OMB control number (2130-0632) in any correspondence
submitted. FRA will summarize comments received in a subsequent 30-day
notice and include them in its information collection submission to
OMB.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Arlette Mussington, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, at email: [email protected] or
[[Page 13142]]
telephone: (571) 609-1285 or Ms. Joanne Swafford, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, at email: [email protected] or
telephone: (757) 897-9908.
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, 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: Metrics and Minimum Standards for Intercity Passenger Train
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130-0632.
Abstract: In November 2020, in connection with a Congressional
mandate, FRA published a final rule titled Metrics and Minimum
Standards for Intercity Passenger Train Operations. (49 CFR part 273).
The final rule established metrics and a minimum standard for measuring
the performance and service quality of intercity passenger train
operations, including cost recovery, on-time performance and minutes of
delay, ridership, on-board services, stations, facilities, equipment,
and other services.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See 85 FR 72971.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this 60-day notice, FRA makes adjustments that will reduce the
currently approved burden hours from 507 to 141 hours. The reduced
burden hours are a result of 126 one-time start-up burden hours
required by Amtrak to initially create a system to process, prepare,
and submit this data. Now that a system has been implemented, the
estimated timeframe it takes to produce the data has been reduced and
is reflected in the adjusted burden hours for each of the requirement
that are being completed under the following sections:
Sec. 273.5(b) Ridership data--10-hour start-up burden.
Sec. 273.5(c) Certified schedule--26-hour start-up burden.
Sec. 273.5(f) Station performance--20-hour start-up burden.
Sec. 273.5(g) Host running time--40-hour start-up burden.

Sec. 273.11(c) Community access--10-hour start-up burden.
Sec. 273.11(d) Service availability--10-hour start-up burden.
Additionally, under Sec. 273.5(c)(2), the estimated burden has
been reduced from 300 to 60 hours to accurately reflect the number of
anticipated responses for the next three-year information collection
period, based on experience from the first three years this regulation
was in effect.
