STEM careers by exposing them to 

female role models. During the fiveweek program, foreign participants 

engage with female leaders in projectbased mentorships at leading companies 

in the Silicon Valley and Bay Area, 

participate in professional development 

workshops and networking events, and 

travel to Washington, DC for targeted 

meetings and special events to conclude 

the program. After their completion of 

the program, emerging leaders and 

mentors have the opportunity to 

reconnect during delegation trips to 

program countries in Africa, South and 

Central Asia, and the Middle East, 

which focus on expanding networks of 

women in STEM fields, creating and 

strengthening partnerships, encouraging 

girls to pursue STEM careers and 

ensuring the sustainability of mentorfellow relationships. The authority for 

this program is the Mutual Educational 

and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (22 

U.S.C. 2451 et seq.). 

To evaluate the impact of the 

program, the Bureau of Educational and 

Cultural Affairs (ECA) intends to 

conduct an evaluation of the program 

covering the period of 2011 through 

2019. The evaluation will determine the 

strength and sustainability of 

professional networks created by the 

program and the extent to which these 

networks have been leveraged for 

collaborations between Alumnae to 

enact change. In order to do so, ECA 

contracted Social Impact (SI) in early 

2020 to conduct an evaluation of the 

TechWomen program. 

Methodology 

The evaluation will use a mixedmethods design including a quantitative 

survey and key informant interviews 

(KIIs). Data from these methods will be 

used to assess the strength of mentoralumnae networks as a result of the 

TechWomen project. The evaluation’s 

approach prioritizes ECA utilization of 

recommendations to maximize the reach 

and impact of the TechWomen program. 

The evaluation will include 40 Key 

Informant Interviews in the Silicon 

Valley/Bay Area. The sampling will 

include Professional Mentors, Cultural 

Mentors, and Impact Coaches. The 

Evaluation Team (ET) will gather survey 

data using the network survey platform 

ONASurveys.com and will use data 

from the online survey to provide visual 

representations and analytic data of the 

TechWomen network structure.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. EP 730 (Sub-No.1)] 

Roster of Arbitrators—Annual Update 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 11708, the 

Board’s regulations establish a voluntary 

and binding arbitration process to 

resolve rail rate and practice complaints 

that are subject to the Board’s 

jurisdiction. Section 11708(f) provides 

that, unless parties otherwise agree, an 

arbitrator or panel of arbitrators shall be 

selected from a roster maintained by the 

Board. Accordingly, the Board’s rules 

establish a process for creating and 

maintaining a roster of arbitrators. 49 

CFR 1108.6(b). 

The Board most recently updated its 

roster of arbitrators by decision served 

February 13, 2020. The roster is 

published on the Board’s website at 

https://www.stb.gov/ (click the 

‘‘Resources’’ tab, select ‘‘Litigation 

Alternatives’’ from the dropdown menu, 

and then click on the ‘‘arbitration’’ link). 

As provided under 49 CFR 1108.6(b), 

the Board updates the roster of 

arbitrators annually. Accordingly, the 

Board is now requesting the names and 

qualifications of new arbitrators who 

wish to be placed on the roster. Current 

arbitrators who wish to remain on the 

roster must notify the Board of their 

continued availability and confirm that 

the biographical information on file 

with the Board remains accurate and, if 

not, provide any necessary updates. 

Arbitrators who do not confirm their 

continued availability will be removed 

from the roster. This decision will be 

served on all current arbitrators. 

Any person who wishes to be added 

to the roster should file an application 

describing his or her experience with 

rail transportation and economic 

regulation, as well as professional or 

business experience, including 

agriculture, in the private sector. Each 

applicant should also describe his or her 

training in dispute resolution and/or 

experience in arbitration or other forms 

of dispute resolution, including the 

number of years of experience. Lastly, 

the applicant should provide his or her 

contact information and fees. 

This year, all comments—including 

filings from new applicants, updates to 

existing arbitrator information, and 

confirmations of continued 

availability—should be submitted via efiling on the Board’s website by January 

15, 2021.1 The Board will assess each 

new applicant’s qualifications to 

determine which individuals can ably 

serve as arbitrators based on the criteria 

established under 49 CFR 1108.6(b). The 

Board will then establish an updated 

roster of arbitrators by no-objection vote. 

The roster will include a brief 

biographical sketch of each arbitrator, 

including information such as 

background, area(s) of expertise, 

arbitration experience, and geographical 

location, as well as contact information 

and fees. The roster will be published 

on the Board’s website. 

It is ordered: 

1. Applications from persons 

interested in being added to the Board’s 

roster of arbitrators, and confirmations 

of continued availability (with updates, 

if any, to existing arbitrator information) 

from persons currently on the 

arbitration roster, are due by January 15, 

2021. 

2. This decision will be served on all 

current arbitrators and published in the 

Federal Register. 

3. This decision is effective on the 

date of service. 

Decided: December 2, 2020. 

By the Board, Allison C. Davis, Director, 

Office of Proceedings.

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

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, this notice 

announces that FRA is forwarding the 

Information Collection Requests (ICRs) 

abstracted below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. These ICRs 

describe the information collections and 

their expected burdens. On September 

16, 2020, FRA published a notice 

providing a 60-day period for public 

comment on the ICRs. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before January 

7, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed ICRs 

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 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Hodan Wells, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad 

Safety, Regulatory Analysis Division, 

Federal Railroad Administration, 

telephone (202) 493–0440, email: 

Hodan.wells@dot.gov. 

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 September 16, 

2020, FRA published a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register soliciting comment 

on the ICRs for which it is now seeking 

OMB approval. See 85 FR 57932. FRA 

received no comments in response to 

this notice. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve the proposed collections of 

information, it must provide 30 days 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 ICRs 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 

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 summaries below describe the 

ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB 

clearance as the PRA requires: 

Title: Identification of Railroad Cars.1

OMB Control Number: 2130–0506. 

Abstract: The collection of 

information is associated with 49 CFR
