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 will seek approval of the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 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 January 13, 2023.
ADDRESSES:
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed ICR should be submitted on regulations.gov to the docket, Docket No. FRA-2022-0002-N-14. All comments received will be posted without change to the docket, including any personal information provided. Please refer to the assigned OMB control number in any correspondence submitted. FRA will summarize comments received in response to this notice in a subsequent notice and include them in its information collection submission to OMB for approval.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Hodan Wells, Information Collection Clearance Officer, at email: Hodan.Wells@dot.gov or telephone: (202) 868-9412, or Ms. Senya Waas, Attorney Adviser, at email: Senyaann.Waas@dot.gov or telephone: (202) 875-4158.
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. See44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8-1320.12. 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. See44 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 statutes and regulations mandate. In summary, FRA reasons that 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. See44 U.S.C. 3501.
The summary below describes the ICR that FRA will submit for OMB clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Positive Train Control (PTC) and Other Signal Systems.
OMB Control Number: 2130-0553.
Abstract: FRA's regulations require that both railroads and PTC vendors and suppliers notify FRA of certain PTC system errors and malfunctions. 49 CFR 236.1023. For example, railroads must maintain a database of all safety-relevant hazards identified in their PTC Safety Plans (PTCSP) and those that had not previously been identified in their PTCSPs. 49 CFR 236.1023(e). If the frequency of a safety-relevant hazard exceeds the thresholds in a railroad's PTCSP, or such hazard has not been previously identified in a railroad's risk analysis, then the railroad must notify FRA of the failure, malfunction, or defective condition that decreased or eliminated the safety functionality of the railroad's PTC system. 49 CFR 236.1023(e)(1). In addition, FRA's regulations require PTC vendors and suppliers to notify FRA of any safety-relevant failure, defective condition, or previously unidentified hazard discovered by the vendor or supplier and the identify of each affected and notified railroad. 49 CFR 236.1023(h)(2). Currently, each railroad or PTC vendor and supplier that must submit notifications of such a failure, malfunction, or defective condition does so by emailing the information to an FRA inbox ( FRAPart2361023Notification@dot.gov). The information is sent in different formats by each railroad or PTC supplier and vendor because there is currently no standardized form.
Therefore, FRA is hereby proposing to standardize the reporting process required by 49 CFR 236.1023(e)(1), (h), and (f) by creating the Errors and Malfunctions Notification Form (Form FRA F 6180.179), which is one part of the existing information collection request under OMB Control No. 2130-0553. This proposed Form FRA F 6180.179 will be in an Excel format and will make it easier for the entities to notify FRA of each applicable failure, malfunction, or defective condition, and for FRA to synthesize and act on the reported failure. The Errors and Malfunctions Notification Form would not change the requirements that each railroad or PTC supplier and vendor currently must follow to notify FRA of each reportable failure, malfunction, or defective condition. See, e.g., 49 CFR 236.1023(e), (h), and (f). The proposed Form FRA F 6180.179 would be submitted to FRAPart2361023Notification@dot.gov within the 15-day deadline under 49 CFR 236.1023(f)(1).
With the current reporting process, FRA estimated that each notification would take 8 hours to prepare. With the new standardized Form, FRA estimates that, on average, each notification will reduce to 7.5 hours to prepare if the railroad or PTC supplier or vendor uses the FRA-provided Excel Form. This estimate is based on the fact that the proposed new Form FRA F 6180.179 offers drop-down menus that would allow railroads or PTC suppliers and vendors to select an answer from an established list, instead of creating each answer from scratch. The revised burden would also account for the review of the instructions in the FRA-provided Excel Form. Thus, FRA estimates that by creating this Form, the total annual burden hours will decrease by 14 hours.
The current inventory exhibits a total burden of 51,993 hours and 4,567,826 responses, while the total burden in this notice is 51,979 hours and 4,567,826 responses. The decrease in burden is due to a program change.
