In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and its implementing regulations, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) hereby announces that it is seeking renewal of the following currently approved information collection activities.

Proposed Revisions to the Schedules of Civil Penalties for a Violation of a Federal Railroad Safety Law or Federal Railroad Administration Safety Regulation
Document Number: E6-20031
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-12-05
Agency: Federal Railroad Administration, Department of Transportation
FRA is issuing for comment proposed statements of agency policy that would amend the 25 schedules of civil penalties (Schedules) issued as appendixes to FRA's safety regulations to reflect more accurately the safety risks associated with a violation of each section or subsection of the regulations, as well as to make sure that the civil monetary penalty amounts (CMP) are consistent across all the safety regulations. These proposed revisions to the Schedules are being published to inform members and representatives of the regulated community and the general public of the amount of the civil penalty that a respondent would likely be assessed for a given violation and to invite their comments on those proposed amounts. In addition, FRA is proposing to correct any obvious errors or omissions in the Schedules.
