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 

provide 60-days notice to the public for 

comment on information collection 

activities before seeking approval for 

reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 

1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically, 

FRA invites interested respondents to 

comment on the following summary of 

proposed information collection 

activities regarding (i) whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

activities will have practical utility; (ii) 

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; (iii) ways for 

FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information being 

collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to 

minimize the burden of information 

collection activities on the public by 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology (e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that 

soliciting public comment will promote 

its efforts to reduce the administrative 

and paperwork burdens associated with 

the collection of information mandated 

by Federal regulations. In summary, 

FRA reasons that comments received 

will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce 

reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it 

organizes information collection 

requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format 

to improve the use of such information; 

and (iii) accurately assess the resources 

expended to retrieve and produce 

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 

3501. 

Below is a brief summary of the 

currently approved information 

collection activities that FRA will 

submit for clearance by OMB as 

required under the PRA: 

Title: Control of Alcohol and Drug 

Use in Railroad Operations. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0526. 

Abstract: The information collection 

requirements contained in preemployment and ‘‘for cause’’ testing 

regulations are intended to ensure a 

sense of fairness and accuracy for 

railroads and their employees. The 

principal information—evidence of 

unauthorized alcohol or drug use—is 

used to prevent accidents by screening 

personnel who perform safety-sensitive 

service. FRA uses the information to 

measure the level of compliance with 

regulations governing the use of alcohol 

or controlled substances. Elimination of 

this problem is necessary to prevent 

accidents, injuries, and fatalities of the 

nature already experienced and further 

reduce the risk of a truly catastrophic 

accident. Finally, FRA analyzes the data 

provided in the Management 

Information System annual report to 

monitor the effectiveness of a railroad’s 

alcohol and drug testing program.
