day period for public comment on the
ICR.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before June 10,
2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be sent within 30 days of
publication of this notice to
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
Find the particular ICR by selecting
‘‘Currently under Review—Open for
Public Comments’’ or by using the

Arlette Mussington, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, at email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8
through 1320.12. On February 21, 2024,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting public
comment on the ICR for which it is now
seeking OMB approval. See 89 FR
13142. FRA has received no comments
related to the proposed collection of
information.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve this proposed collection of
information, it must provide 30-days’
notice for public comment. Federal law
requires OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR
1320.12(d); See also 60 FR 44978,
44983, Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes the
30-day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
best ensure having their full effect.
Comments are invited on the
following ICR regarding: (1) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
information 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:15 May 09, 2024
Jkt 262001
determine the estimates; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of information collection
activities on the public, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
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 Rail
Service.
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
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Amtrak.
Form(s): N/A.
Respondent Universe: Amtrak and
Host Railroad(s).
Frequency of Submission: Varied.
Total Estimated Annual Responses:
93.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 141
hours.
FRA informs all interested parties that
it may not conduct or sponsor, and a
respondent is not required to respond
to, a collection of information that does
not display a currently valid OMB
control number.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.

requirements for drivers of motor
vehicles transporting flammable
cryogenic liquids. This information
allows the driver to take appropriate
remedial actions to prevent a
catastrophic release of the flammable
cryogenics should the temperature of
the material begin to rise excessively or
if the travel time will exceed the safe
travel time. These requirements are
intended to ensure a high level of safety
when transporting flammable
cryogenics due to their extreme
flammability and high compression
ratio when in a liquid state. The

Summary: This information collection
and recordkeeping burden is the result
of efforts to amend the HMR to adopt
standards for the design, construction,
maintenance, and use of cylinders and
multiple-element gas containers
(MEGCs) based on the standards
contained in the UN Recommendations
on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.
Aligning the HMR with the UN
Recommendations promotes flexibility,
permits the use of technological
advances for the manufacture of the
pressure receptacles, provides for a
broader selection of pressure
receptacles, reduces the need for special
permits, and facilitates international
commerce in the transportation of
compressed gases. Information
collection requirements address
domestic and international
manufacturers of cylinders that request
approval by the approval agency for
cylinder design types. The approval
process for each cylinder design type
includes review, filing, and
