SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Developing and Recording Costs for 

Railroad Adjustments. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0521. 

Background: Under 23 U.S.C. 130, the 

FHWA reimburses the State highway 

agencies when they have paid for the 

cost of projects that (1) Eliminate 

hazards at railroad/highway crossings, 

or (2) adjust railroad facilities to 

accommodate the construction of 

highway projects. The FHWA requires 

the railroad companies to document 

their costs incurred for adjusting their 

facilities. The railroad companies must 

have a system for recording labor, 

materials, supplies, and equipment 

costs incurred when undertaking the 

necessary railroad work. This record of 

costs forms the basis for payment by the 

State highway agency to the railroad 

company, and in turn FHWA 

reimburses the State for its payment to 

the railroad company. 

Respondents: Approximately 135 

railroad companies. 

Frequency: Nearly 135 railroad 

companies are involved in an average of 

10 railroad/highway projects per year, 

so the total frequency is 1,350 railroad 

adjustments. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The average number of hours 

required to calculate the railroad 

adjustment costs and maintain the 

required records per adjustment is 12 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The FHWA estimates that the 

total annual burden imposed on the 

public by this collection is 16,200 

hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

The agency will summarize and/or 

include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2006–26066] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to exempt 75 individuals from 

the vision requirement in the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations 

(FMCSRs). The exemptions will enable 

these individuals to operate commercial 

motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate 

commerce without meeting the 

prescribed vision standard. The Agency 

has concluded that granting these 

exemptions will provide a level of safety 

that is equivalent to, or greater than, the 

level of safety maintained without the 

exemptions for these CMV drivers. 

DATES: The exemptions are effective 

January 9, 2007. The exemptions expire 

on January 8, 2009.
