Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2020–0027–N–32] 

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 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
79072 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 8, 2020 / Notices 

232.3(d), formerly contained in 

Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) 

Order 13528. Paragraph (d)(3) of 49 CFR 

232.3 conditionally excepts certain 

export, industrial, and other cars not 

owned by a railroad from part 232 

compliance. It requires cars to be 

identified by a card attached to each 

side of the equipment, signed by the 

shipper, specifically noting that the car 

is being moved under the proper 

authority. Railroads typically use carrier 

bad order forms or tags for these 

purposes. These forms are readily 

available from all carrier repair 

facilities. FRA estimates approximately 

400 cars per year, each bearing two 

forms or tags, are moved under this 

regulation. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Form(s): N/A. 

Respondent Universe: 765 railroads. 

Frequency of Submission: On 

occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Responses: 

800. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 67 

hours. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour 

Dollar Cost Equivalent: $3,886. 

Title: U.S. Locational Requirement for 

Dispatching U.S. Rail Operations. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0556. 

Abstract: Title 49 CFR part 241 

requires, in the absence of a waiver, that 

all dispatching of railroad operations 

occurring in the United States be 

performed in the United States. A 

railroad may, however, conduct 

dispatching from a country other than 

the United States in an emergency 

situation, but only for the duration of 

the emergency situation. See 49 CFR 

241.9(c). A railroad relying on this 

exception must provide written 

notification of its action to FRA as soon 

as practicable; such notification is not 

required before addressing the 

emergency situation. The information 

collected under this rule is used as part 

of FRA’s oversight function to ensure 

that extraterritorial dispatchers comply 

with applicable safety regulations. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Form(s): N/A. 

Respondent Universe: 4 railroads. 

Frequency of Submission: On 

occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Responses: 1. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 8 

hours. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour 

Dollar Cost Equivalent: $616. 

Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR 

1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FRA 

informs all interested parties that a 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, conduct, or sponsor a collection of 

information that does not display a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Federal Transit Administration 

Adoption of the Federal Highway 

Administration’s Nationwide Section 

4(f) Net Benefit and Historic Bridges 

Programmatic Evaluations 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA), U.S. Department 

of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: FRA and FTA (together ‘‘the 

Agencies’’) are jointly issuing this notice 

to adopt the Federal Highway 

Administration’s (FHWA) nationwide 

programmatic Section 4(f) evaluations 

for certain transportation projects 

having a net benefit to Section 4(f) 

properties (Nationwide Net Benefit 

Programmatic Evaluation) and for 

certain transportation projects that use 

historic bridges (Nationwide Historic 

Bridges Programmatic Evaluation). 

These nationwide Section 4(f) 

programmatic evaluations would 

provide the Agencies with an alternative 

to the individual Section 4(f) evaluation 

process for demonstrating compliance 

with Section 4(f) requirements, as 

applicable. For proposed projects that 

do not meet the criteria for Section 4(f) 

exceptions or the criteria contained in 

the Applicability sections of the 

programmatic evaluations, the Agencies 

will prepare an individual evaluation or 

make a de minimis impact 

determination. 

DATES: The adoption of these 

evaluations is effective on January 7, 

2021.

FRA and FTA are located at 1200 New 

Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590. 

Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

e.t., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Agencies may not 

approve a proposed transportation 

project that would use property from 

significant publicly-owned parks, 

recreation areas, or wildlife and 

waterfowl refuges or from significant 

historic sites (collectively, ‘‘Section 4(f) 

properties’’) that are subject to Section 

4(f) requirements (49 U.S.C. 303 and 23 

U.S.C. 138), unless certain conditions 

are met. An agency may approve a 

proposed transportation project 

requiring the use of a Section 4(f) 

property only if the agency determines 

that: (1) There is no feasible and 

prudent alternative to using that land, 

and the project includes all possible 

planning to minimize harm to the 

property resulting from such use; or (2) 

the use of the property, after 

consideration of avoidance, 

minimization, mitigation, or 

enhancement measures to be 

implemented as a condition of approval, 

will have a de minimis impact. These 

efforts generally are documented in an 

individual evaluation, unless the agency 

makes a de minimis impact 

determination, or the use meets the 

criteria for one of the Section 4(f) 

exceptions found at 23 CFR 774.13. As 

part of the individual evaluation, the 

agency must include a feasible and 

prudent avoidance alternative analysis 

and identify measures to minimize 

harm. The agency also must provide a 

public comment period and coordinate 

with official(s) with jurisdiction in the 

individual evaluation process. 

However, FHWA has approved five 

nationwide programmatic evaluations 

applicable to specific uses of Section 

4(f) properties. Programmatic 

evaluations streamline the Section 4(f) 

process by eliminating the need for an 

individual Section 4(f) evaluation for 

certain projects. Programmatic 

evaluations can be applied to any class 

of action under the National 

Environmental Policy Act. FHWA 

developed the framework and basic 

approach to the programmatic 

evaluations at a program level to cover
