SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Annual Tank Car Survey 

OMB Control #: 2138–0047 

Background: In accordance with the 

requirements of 44 U.S.C. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) (the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995), this notice announces the 

intention of the BTS to request the 

Office of Management and Budget’s 

(OMB’s) extension of the currently 

approved information collection related 

to Section 7308 of the Fixing America’s 

Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. 

114–94; the ‘‘FAST Act’’). Specifically, 

Section 7308(c) of the FAST ACT 

directs the Secretary of Transportation 

to conduct a data collection of tank car 

facilities to obtain an estimate of tank 

cars projected to be modified or built to 

the new safer Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Specification 117 

or 117R. 

On December 4, 2015, President 

Barack Obama signed legislation 

entitled ‘‘Fixing America’s Surface 

Transportation Act of 2015,’’ or the 

‘‘FAST Act.’’ See Public Law 114–94. 

The FAST Act includes the ‘‘Hazardous 

Materials Transportation Safety 

Improvement Act of 2015’’ (see Sections 

7001 through 7311) and instructs the 

Secretary of Transportation to make 

specific regulatory amendments to the 

Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 

49 CFR parts 171–180), including 

requirements for certain persons to 

report the progress toward modifying 

rail tank cars used for the transportation 

of Class 3 flammable liquids in 

accordance with the timeline 

established in Section 7304 of the FAST 

Act. 

In order to satisfy the FAST Act 

requirements, BTS has been conducting 

the data collection. BTS invites 

comments on its intention to continue 

collecting information from tank car 

retrofitting and manufacturing facilities 

on the planned and projected number of 

tank cars to be retrofitted or 

manufactured during the calendar year, 

annually. Any facility identified with 

the capacity to modify or build new 

tank cars to the 117 or 117R 

specification, as described in Section 

7308(c) of the FAST Act will be 

included in the data collection 

identified in this notice and submit the 

results to the Bureau of Transportation 

Statistics (BTS) no later than 60 days 

upon request. Individual responses to 

the data collection will be kept 

confidential and a summary report of 

aggregate findings will be provided to: 

(1) The Committee on Commerce, 

Science, and Transportation of the 

Senate; and 

(2) The Committee on Transportation 

and Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives. 

In addition, this summary report will 

also be published to the BTS web page. 

This notice is applicable to Section 

7308(c) of the FAST Act which directs 

the Secretary to conduct an annual data 

collection of tank car shops to acquire 

projections of the number of tank cars 

to be built or manufactured to the new 

safer specifications. This includes those 

tank cars modified to the DOT 

Specification 117R, or equivalent, as 

well as any new tank cars built to the 

DOT Specification 117, or equivalent. 

Modified tank cars will include, but 

may not be limited to, those previously 

built to Specifications: DOT105, 

DOT109, DOT111, DOT112, DOT114, 

DOT115, and DOT120. 

Additionally, per Executive Order 

13868, issued on April 10, 2019, BTS 

will ask Tank Car shops certified to 

build DOT–113, capable of carrying 

liquified natural gas how many tank 

cars they anticipate building in the 

calendar year. This information will be 

kept confidential and a summary report 

of aggregate findings will be provided to 

the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 

Administration. 

Respondents: Across the nation there 

are approximately 400 tank car facilities 

that are currently registered or certified 

to build or modify tank cars. However, 

the majority of these do not have the 

capacity to modify or build to the 117 

or 117R specifications or the 113 

specification. It is estimated that, at 

most, 175 tank car shops possess the 

required capacity to build or modify to 

these new safer requirements. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: It is estimated that 175 

facilities will provide one response each

burden cost is estimated at $4,371 (i.e., 

88 burden hours x $49.67 per hour for 

a manager in Transportation, Storage, 

and Distribution). 

Frequency: Annually. 

Public Comments Invited: Interested 

parties are invited to send comments 

regarding any aspect of this information 

collection, including, but not limited to: 

(1) The necessity and utility of the 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

DOT; (2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, clarity and content of the 

collected information; and (4) ways to 

minimize the collection burden without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB’s clearance of this 

information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

OMB for each collection of information 

that they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) to include agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. 

The OCC is asking OMB to extend its 

approval of the following information 

collection: 

Title: Examination Survey. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0199. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Abstract: The OCC provides each 

national bank, Federal savings 

association, and Federal branch or 

agency (bank) with an Examination 

Survey at the end of its supervisory 

cycle (12- or 18-month period). This 

information collection permits banks to 

assess the OCC’s bank supervisory 

activities, including the: 

• Effectiveness of OCC 

communications with the bank; 

• Reasonableness of OCC requests for 

data and information; 

• Quality of OCC decision making 

during the exam process; 

• Professionalism of OCC examining 

staff; and 

• Responsiveness of OCC examiners. 

The OCC developed the survey in 

1994, at the suggestion of banking 

industry members who expressed a 

desire to provide examination-related 

feedback to the OCC. The Comptroller of 

the Currency and OCC supervisory staff 

considered that expressed desire and 

concurred. The information collection 

continues to be an important tool for the 

OCC to measure OCC examination 

performance, design more efficient and 

effective examinations, and target 

examiner training. 

This information collection continues 

to formalize and promote a longVerDate Sep<11>2014 22:36 Jan 08, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\11JAN1.SGM 11JAN1
