ACTION: Notice of Information 

Collection; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice 

announces that FRA is forwarding the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

abstracted below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes 

the information collections and their 

expected burden. On July 2, 2018, FRA 

published a notice providing a 60-day 

period for public comment on the ICR. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before October 

1, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

on the ICR to the Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th 

Street NW, Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments 

may also be sent via email to OMB at

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– 

12. On July 2, 2018, FRA published a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

soliciting comment on the ICR for which 

it is now seeking OMB approval. See 83 

FR 31030. FRA received no comments 

in response to this notice.

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 170 / Friday, August 31, 2018 / Notices 44693 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve these 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 

1320.10(b); 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 ICR 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 summary below describes the ICR 

that FRA will submit for OMB clearance 

as the PRA requires: 

Title: Grant Management 

Requirements for the Federal Railroad 

Administration Grant Awards Activities 

and Cooperative Agreements 

(‘‘Awards’’). 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0615. 

Abstract: FRA is an Operating 

Administration of the U.S. Department 

of Transportation (DOT). FRA solicits 

grant applications for projects 

including, but not limited to, 

preconstruction planning activities, 

safety improvements, congestion relief, 

improvement of grade crossings, rail 

line relocation, as well as projects that 

encourage development, expansion, and 

upgrades to passenger and freight rail 

infrastructure and services. FRA funds 

projects that meet FRA- and 

government-wide evaluation standards 

and align with the DOT Strategic Plan. 

FRA administers award agreements 

for both construction and nonconstruction projects that will result in 

benefits or other tangible improvements 

in rail corridors, service, safety, and 

technology. These projects include 

completion of preliminary engineering, 

environmental, research and 

development, final design, and 

construction. 

FRA requires systematic and uniform 

collection and submission of 

information, as approved by OMB, to 

ensure accountability of Federal 

assistance provided by FRA. Through 

this information collection, FRA will 

measure Federal award recipients’ 

performance and results, including 

expenditures in support of agreed-upon 

activities and allowable costs outlined 

in a FRA Notice of Grant Award (NGA). 

This information collection includes 

OMB-required reports and 

documentation, as well as additional 

forms and submissions to compile 

evidence relevant to addressing FRA’s 

important policy challenges, promoting 

cost-effectiveness in FRA programs, and 

providing effective oversight of 

programmatic and financial 

performance. FRA issues and manages 

awards in compliance with 2 CFR part 

200, Uniform Administrative 

Requirements, Cost Principles, and 

Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. 

The forms for which FRA is seeking 

renewal of its current approval in this 

information collection are listed below. 

All non-research awards are subject to 

the application, reporting, closeout, and 

other processes described in this 

justification.
