FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
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.

ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:
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 July 29,
2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be submitted on regulations.gov
to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2024–
0009. All comments received will be
posted without change to the docket,
including any personal information
provided. Please refer to the assigned
OMB control number (2130–0590) in
any correspondence submitted. FRA
will summarize comments received in a
subsequent 30-day notice and include

SUMMARY:
The summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Federal Railroad Administration
Alleged Violation and Inquiry Form.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0590.
Abstract: The FRA Alleged Violation
and Inquiry Form is a response to
section 307(b) of the Rail Safety
Improvement Act of 2008, which
requires FRA to ’’provide a mechanism
for the public to submit written reports
of potential violations of Federal
railroad safety and hazardous materials
transportation laws, regulations, and
orders to the Federal Railroad
Administration.’’ The FRA Alleged
Violation and Inquiry Form allows the
public to submit alleged violations,
complaints, or inquiries directly to FRA.
The form allows FRA to collect
information necessary to investigate the
alleged violation, complaint, or inquiry,
and to follow up with the submitting
party. FRA may share the information
collected with partnering States under
its State Safety Participation Program
and with law enforcement agencies.
In this 60-day notice FRA has made
adjustments that increase the overall
burden from 70 to 120 hours. The
increase in burden hours is a result of
an increase in the estimated number of
responses for the three-year information
collection period. After a thorough
review, FRA has estimated that
responses will increase from 600 to
1000.
FRA will use the information
collected under the form to identify
problem areas and take necessary action
to prevent potential accidents of the
type indicated by the information
submitted from occurring.
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Public.
Form(s): FRA F 6180.151.

requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 generally
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register

information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, the OCC
