SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft 

EA was prepared in accordance with the 

settlement agreement between the 

Benedict Hills Homeowners 

Association, Benedict Hills Estates 

Association, and the FAA (‘‘Settlement 

Agreement’’) to assess potential 

environmental impacts in connection 

with proposed amendments to the 

OROSZ and SLAPP departure 

procedures at BUR Airport. In addition 

to the No Action Alternative, where 

current procedures at BUR Airport 

would continue to be utilized, the FAA 

is considering two additional 

alternatives. 

The first alternative (Alternative A) 

was developed in accordance with the 

Settlement Agreement and would result 

in the amendment of existing flight 

procedures to create two Open Standard 

Instrument Departure (SID) procedures, 

the SLAPP THREE DEPARTURE (Area 

Navigation [RNAV]) (‘‘SLAPP THREE’’) 

and the OROSZ THREE DEPARTURE 

(RNAV) (‘‘OROSZ THREE’’) procedure. 

The second alternative (Alternative B) 

is comprised of the modification of the 

current SLAPP TWO DEPARTURE 

(RNAV) (‘‘SLAPP TWO’’) and OROSZ 

TWO DEPARTURE (RNAV) (‘‘OROSZ 

TWO’’) procedures to require a higher 

climb gradient. Alternative B was 

developed in accordance with 

recommendations set forth by a separate 

community stakeholder, the Southern 

San Fernando Valley Airplane Noise 

Task Force, to reduce noise over 

communities in southern San Fernando 

Valley. 

The Draft EA is available upon

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 July 6, 2023, 

FTA published a 60-day notice (88 FR 

43167) in the Federal Register soliciting 

comments on the ICR that the agency 

was seeking OMB approval. FTA 

received no comments after issuing this 

60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT 

announces that these information 

collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR 

1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for 

review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12(c). Before OMB decides 

whether to approve these proposed 

collections 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. 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. 

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. 

The summaries below describe the 

nature of the information collection 

requirements (ICRs) and the expected 

burden. The requirements are being 

submitted for clearance by OMB as 

required by the PRA.

Title: Public Transportation Safety 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 2132–New 

Information Collection. 

Background: Congress directed FTA 

to establish a comprehensive Public 

Transportation Safety Program in the 

Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 

Century Act (Pub. L. 112–141; July 6, 

2012) (MAP–21), which was 

reauthorized by the Fixing America’s 

Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. 

114–94; December 4, 2015). The 

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, enacted 

as the Infrastructure Investment and 

Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117–58; November 15, 

2021), continues FTA’s authority to 

regulate public transportation systems 

that receive Federal financial assistance 

under chapter 53. Section 5329(f) of 

Title 49 U.S.C. authorizes FTA to 

‘‘require the production of documents 

by, and prescribe recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements for, a recipient 

or a State safety oversight agency’’ for 

the purposes of carrying out the Federal 

Public Transportation Safety Program. 

FTA is seeking approval of an 

information collection that will allow 

FTA to collect safety related data from 

transit agencies, State Safety Oversight 

Agencies (SSOAs), and States. FTA will 

use this information collection to assess 

how recipients of Federal financial 

assistance under chapter 53 are 

complying with FTA safety 

requirements and recommendations and 

ensuring safe transportation systems for 

the riders and patrons using each 

system, the workers operating each 

system, and the pedestrians interacting 

with each system. FTA may also use 

this collection to assist in determining 

whether there is a need for new or 

revised safety requirements. This 

collection is different from the existing 

safety related collections associated 

with the Public Transportation Agency 

Safety Plan Program (2132–0580), the 

Public Transportation Safety 

Certification Training Program (2132– 

0578), and the State Safety Oversight 

Program (2132–0558). The 

aforementioned collections are 

approved to collect information related 

to the requirements of those safety 

programs while this new collection is 

intended to cover other safety issues, 

including emerging safety concerns. 

The information captured through 

this data collection will enable FTA to 

respond to existing safety issues and be 

proactive to address potential and 

emerging safety concerns. This 

information collection is essential to 

FTA’s safety oversight and grant-making 

roles—both critical to the Agency’s 

mission of improving public 

transportation for America’s 

communities. 

Respondents: Transit agencies, State 

safety oversight agencies, and States. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 2,477. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses: 4,843. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

146,940. 

Frequency: Periodic.

Administration.
