AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice 

announces that the Information 

Collection Requirement (ICR) abstracted 

below has been forwarded to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes 

the nature of the information collection 

and its expected burden. The Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period soliciting comments on the 

following collection of information was 

published on August 10, 2009 (74 FR 

39993). 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before November 19, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert Brogan, Office of Planning and 

Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal 

Railroad Administration, 1200 New 

Jersey Ave., SE., Mail Stop 17, 

Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 

493–6292), or Ms. Nakia Jackson, Office 

of Information Technology, RAD–20, 

Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 

New Jersey Ave., SE., Mail Stop 35, 

Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 

493–6470). (These telephone numbers 

are not toll-free.) 

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 August 10, 

2009, FRA published a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register soliciting comment 

on the ICR that the agency was seeking 

OMB approval. 74 FR 39993. FRA 

received no comments in response to 

this notice. 

Before OMB decides whether to reapprove this proposed collection 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. The ICR is being submitted for 

clearance by OMB as required by the 

PRA. 

Title: Use of Locomotive Horns at 

Highway-Rail Grade Crossings. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0560. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Public authorities/ 

railroads. 

Form(s): N/A. 

Abstract: The collection of 

information is used by FRA to increase 

safety at highway-rail grade crossings 

nationwide by requiring that locomotive 

horns be sounded when trains approach 

and pass through these crossings, or by 

ensuring that a safety level at least 

equivalent to that provided by blowing 

horns exists for rail corridors in which 

horns are silenced. Communities that 

qualify for this exception may create 

‘‘quiet zones’’ within which locomotive 

horns would not be routinely sounded. 

FRA reviews applications by public 

authorities intending to establish new 

or, in some cases, continue pre-rule 

quiet zones to ensure that the necessary 

level of safety is achieved. 

Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 

5,575. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding 

these information collections 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Designation of Agent for Service 

of Process. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0040. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from the 

approval date. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

previously approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Abstract: This collection of 

information applies to motor vehicle 

and motor vehicle equipment 

manufacturers located outside of the 

United States (‘‘foreign manufacturers’’). 

Section 110(e) of the National Traffic 

and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 

(49 U.S.C. 30164) requires a foreign 

manufacturer offering a motor vehicle or 

motor vehicle equipment for 

importation into the United States to 

designate a permanent resident of the 

United States as its agent upon whom 

service of notices and processes may be 

made in administrative and judicial 

proceedings. These designations are 

required to be filed with NHTSA. 

NHTSA requires this information in 

case it needs to advise a foreign 

manufacturer of a safety related defect 

in its products so that the manufacturer 

can, in turn, notify purchasers and 

correct the defect. This information also 

enables NHTSA to serve a foreign 

manufacturer with all administrative 

and judicial processes, notices, orders, 

decisions and requirements. 

When NHTSA amended the 

regulation implementing that statutory 

requirement, codified at 49 CFR Part 

551, subpart D, NHTSA included an 

appendix containing a suggested 

designation form for use by foreign 

manufacturers and their agents. The 

purpose of the suggested designation 

format was to simplify the information 

collection and submission process, and 

thereby reduce the burden imposed on 

each covered manufacturer by 49 CFR 

Part 551, subpart D. To further 

streamline the information collection 

process, NHTSA has set up a customer 

Web site that may be accessed at 

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/ 

manufacture/agent/customer.html. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 120 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

240 respondents. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725–17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

The Comments are invited on: 

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.
