SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Public Law 104–13, Section 2, 

109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised 

at 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. 

44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 

1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On January 13, 

2011, FRA published a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register soliciting comment 

on this ICR for which the agency was 

seeking OMB approval. 76 FR 2441. 

FRA received no comments in response 

to this notice. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve these proposed collections of 

information, it must provide 30 days for 

public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5 

CFR 1320.12(d). 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 that 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. 5 

CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. 

The summary below describes the 

nature of the information collection 

requirement (ICR) and the expected 

burden for the ICR being submitted for 

clearance by OMB as required by the 

PRA. 

Title: Reflectorization of Freight 

Rolling Stock. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0566. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Abstract: The Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) issued this 

regulation to mandate the 

reflectorization of freight rolling stock 

(freight cars and locomotives) to 

enhance the visibility of trains in order 

to reduce the number and severity of 

accidents at highway-rail grade 

crossings in which train visibility acted 

as a contributing factor. The information 

collected is used by FRA to ensure that 

railroads/car owners follow the 

schedule established by the regulation 

for placing retro-reflective material on 

the sides of freight rolling stock (freight 

cars and locomotives) in order to 

improve the visibility of trains. The 

information is also used by FRA to 

confirm that railroads/car owners meet 

the prescribed standards for the 

application, inspection, and 

maintenance of the required retroreflective material. 

Form Number(s): FRA F 6180.113. 

Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 

18,044 hours. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding 

this information collection to the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 725 

Seventeenth Street, NW., Washington, 

DC 20503, Attention: FRA Desk Officer. 

Comments may also be sent via e-mail 

to OMB at the following address: 

oira_submissions@omb.eop.gov. 

Comments are invited on the 

following: Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Department, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

Department’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is best assured of 

having its full effect if OMB receives it 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with part 211 of title 49 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

notice is hereby given that the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) has 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance from certain requirements 

of its safety standards. The individual 

petition is described below, including 

the party seeking relief, the regulatory 

provisions involved, the nature of the 

relief being requested, and the 

petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief. 

American Short Line and Regional 

Railroad Association 

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2009– 

0078] 

In response to the American Short 

Line and Regional Railroad 

Association’s (ASLRRA) July 16, 2009, 

petition in this docket, FRA granted 

certain identified ASLRRA member 

railroads limited conditional relief from 

the Federal hours of service law (HSL; 

49 U.S.C. chapter 211). Specifically, 

FRA granted the identified ASLRRA 

member railroads listed on ASLRRA’s 

‘‘Seconded Amended Exhibit A’’ in this 

docket relief from 49 U.S.C. 

21103(a)(4)(A). (See FRA letter dated 

March 5, 2010; document number— 

0008.1 in docket). Section 

21103(a)(4)(A) mandates that train 

employees have 48- or 72-hour off-duty 

periods following the initiation of onduty periods on either 6 or 7 

consecutive days. 

By a letter dated November 29, 2010, 

ASLRRA notified FRA of an error in its 

‘‘Second Amended Exhibit A’’ upon 

which FRA based its initial grant of 

relief. (See document number—0091.1 

in docket). Specifically, ASLRRA 

notified FRA that one ASLRRA member 

railroad, the Brownsville & Rio Grande 

International Railroad (BRG), was 

inadvertently omitted from the amended 

exhibit. Noting that BRG had properly 

executed the application agreeing to 

participate in ASLRRA’s petition and 

proposed pilot project, and had already 

filed evidence of its employee 

concurrence with the waiver in the 

docket as required by FRA’s March 5, 

2010, letter, ASLRRA requested that 

FRA add BRG to the list of railroads 

participating in the waiver. FRA has 

done so, subject to public comment on 

BRG’s participation in the waiver. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate

hearing. If any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request.
