Information Collection Notice/NASA 

Great Moonbuggy Race 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: NASA Information Collection 

Notice; Correction. 

Federal Register Citation of Previous 

Announcement: 76 FR 23339, Document 

Number 2013–01648, Notice Number 

12–004, dated January 28, 2013. 

SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration published a 

notice in the Federal Register of January 

28, 2013, inviting the general public and 

other Federal agencies to comment on a 

proposed information collection; the 

NASA Great Moonbuggy Race, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. 

Correction: In Section III Data, the 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours 

is 118. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Frances Teel, NASA Clearance Officer, 

National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration, Washington, DC 20546, 

(202) 358–2225. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection supports the 

President’s initiative to create 

opportunities to advance science, 

technology, engineering, and 

mathematics (STEM) education. The 

Great Moonbuggy race is a vehicular 

engineering experience that targets high 

school and college students and 

connects classroom training to tangible 

activities that enable practical 

application of STEM disciplines, 

cultivates innovative thinking, and 

embraces teamwork. This event is 

inspired by the original lunar rover that 

piloted across the Moon’s surface in the 

early 1970’s. Participating students will 

design a vehicle that addresses a series 

of engineering problems similar to 

problems faced by the original 

Moonbuggy. Comments are invited on 

(1) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions at NASA, 

including whether the information 

collected has practical utility; (2) the 

accuracy of NASA’s estimate of the 

burden (including hours and cost; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents; including automated 

collection techniques or the use of other 

information technology.

NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION 

SAFETY BOARD 

Positive Train Control Public Forum 

On Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 

the National Transportation Safety 

Board (NTSB) will convene a Forum 

titled, ‘‘Positive Train Control: Is it on 

Track?’’ The Forum will begin at 9:00 

a.m. is open to all and the attendance is 

free (no registration required). The 

NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman 

will serve as the presiding officer of the 

forum, and all five NTSB Board 

Members will serve as members of the 

Board of Inquiry. The forum is 

organized into three topics areas: 

• PTC systems as envisioned versus 

what is being implemented 

• Current status of PTC regulatory 

implementation 

• Current status of PTC technical 

implementation 

Over the past 40 years, the NTSB has 

investigated many train collisions and 

over-speed derailments caused by 

operational errors involving human 

performance failures. Many of these 

accidents occurred because train crews: 

did not comply with signal indications, 

did not follow operating procedures in 

nonsignaled (dark) territories, or did not 

comply with other specific operating 

rules such as returning track switches to 

normal position after completing work 

at railroad sidings. 

The NTSB has repeatedly concluded 

that technological solutions, such as 

Positive Train Control (PTC), have great 

potential to reduce the number of 

serious train accidents by providing 

safety redundant systems to protect 

against human performance failures. 

Because of the NTSB’s longstanding 

interest in this issue, the Board placed 

a recommendation to implement PTC on 

the NTSB’s Most Wanted List of 

Transportation Safety Improvements at 

the inception of the list in 1990, and it 

remained on the list until after the Rail 

Safety Improvement Act of 2008 was 

enacted. This act requires each Class I 

railroad over which poison- or toxic-byinhalation (PIH or TIH) hazardous 

materials are transported and each 

entity providing regularly scheduled 

intercity or commuter rail passenger 

transportation to implement a PTC 

system by December 31, 2015. The 

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 

finalized the rule requiring PTC in 

January 2010. 

Legislation was proposed in Congress 

that would defer the Act’s requirement 

for implementation of PTC systems. In 

the Senate, provisions in the Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 

Act (MAP-21) proposed a year-by-year 

evaluation of PTC system waivers by the 

Secretary of Transportation beyond the 

2015 deadline but did not extend past 

December 31, 2018. In the House of 

Representatives, provisions in the 

American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs 

Act of 2012 proposed to extend the PTC 

system implementation deadline until 

December 31, 2020. Additionally, the 

House bill would have enabled a 

railroad to use an ‘‘alternate riskreduction strategy’’ in lieu of installing 

PTC on some nonpassenger track where 

PIH and TIH are transported. However, 

the enacted legislation MAP–21, Public 

Law 112–141, did not include the 

provisions regarding PTC. 

Expert panelists will include 

representatives from railroads, 

government, industry suppliers, labor 

unions, and the research community. 

Below is the preliminary agenda: 

Wednesday, February 27, 2013 

1. Opening Statement by the Presiding 

Officer of the forum 

2. Introduction of the Officers and 

Technical Panel 

3. Introduction of the forum participants 

4. Introduction of the panels 

5. Closing statement by Chairman 

Hersman 

Panel Topics 

Panel 1—Positive Train Control Systems 

as Envisioned vs. Implemented 

Panel 2—Current Status of Positive 

Train Control (PTC) Regulatory 

Implementation 

Panel 3—Current Status of Positive 

Train Control (PTC) Technical 

Implementation 

The full agenda and a list of 

participants can be found at: 

www.ntsb.gov/PTCforum. 

The forum will be held in the NTSB 

Board Room and Conference Center, 

located at 429 L’Enfant Plaza E. SW., 

Washington, DC. The public can view 

the forum in person or by live webcast 

at www.ntsb.gov. Webcast archives are 

generally available by the end of the 

next day following the forum, and 

Webcasts are archived for a period of 3 

months from after the date of the event.
