of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

approval, FRA is soliciting public 

comment on specific aspects of the 

activities identified in the ICR. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before 

December 3, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed ICR 

should be submitted on https://

www.regulations.gov/ to the docket, 

Docket No. FRA–2024–0007. All 

comments received will be posted 

without change to the docket, including 

any personal information provided. 

Please refer to the assigned OMB control 

number (2130–0615) in any

summarize comments received in a 

subsequent 30-day notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Joanne Swafford, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, at email: 

joanne.swafford@dot.gov or telephone: 

(757) 897–9908, or Ms. Arlette 

Mussington, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, at email: 

arlette.mussington@dot.gov or 

telephone: (571) 609–1285. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

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 to 

allow comment on information 

collection activities before seeking OMB 

approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C. 

3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 

1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites 

interested parties to comment on the 

following ICR regarding: (1) whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

activities 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 for FRA to 

minimize the burden of information 

collection activities on the public, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1). 

FRA believes that soliciting public 

comment may reduce the administrative 

and paperwork burdens associated with 

the collection of information that 

Federal regulations mandate. In 

summary, comments received will 

advance three objectives: (1) reduce 

reporting burdens; (2) organize 

information collection requirements in a 

‘‘user-friendly’’ format to improve the 

use of such information; and (3) 

accurately assess the resources 

expended to retrieve and produce 

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 

3501. 

The summary below describes the ICR 

that FRA will submit for OMB clearance 

as the PRA requires:

1FRA 1322.1A (May 19, 2010). 2Updating this form with a 6180 prefix would 

create a duplication form number as FRA F 6180.33 

is an existing public FRA form. To avoid 

duplication, FRA is not updating this form to 

include the 6180 prefix. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0615. 

Abstract: FRA solicits grant 

applications through a multitude of 

grant programs 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 governmentwide evaluation standards and align 

with the DOT Strategic Plan. 

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 the standard FRA Notice of Grant 

Award sent to the recipients. 

This information collection includes 

OMB-required reports and 

documentation, as well as additional 

forms and submissions to compile data 

relevant to addressing FRA’s important 

policy challenges, promoting costeffectiveness 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. 

Specifically, FRA is proposing to add 

one new form; revise two existing forms; 

and discontinue a form that is no longer 

required, as outlined below. 

Additionally, to conform with FRA’s 

policy and Forms Management 

Program,1 the required prefix, ‘‘6180’’, is 

being added to the form number of all 

existing FRA forms that are included in 

this information collection, with the 

exception of FRA F 33.2 This change 

complies with the formatting 

requirement issued by FRA Order 

1322.1A that all required public forms 

include the number 6180 as a prefix as 

part of the form number. 

FRA is proposing to add new form, 

FRA F 6180.288 titled, Pre-Award 

Authority Request Form. Currently, FRA 

accepts requests for pre-award authority 

via a letter from the award recipient. 

The purpose of FRA F 6180.288 is to 

allow recipients who would like to 

incur eligible pre-award costs to request 

pre-award authority from FRA by 

submitting a standardized form. This 

form streamlines the information 

collection processes and FRA’s 

subsequent review of the request. The 

form also directs the recipient to 

confirm that they understand pre-award 

costs are considered at-risk until the 

grant agreement has been executed, and 

that FRA will authorize such pre-award 

costs only to the extent they are 

allowable under the terms of the grant 

agreement. 

FRA is updating existing FRA F 

6180.31 Grant Adjustment Request 

Form (GARF) to make the following 

edits: The term ‘‘Grantee’’ has been 

changed to ‘‘Recipient’’. On page 1, the 

first use of ‘‘NGA’’ has been defined 

(Notice of Grant Award). At the top of 

page 3—changing ‘‘regional manager ‘‘to 

‘‘project manager’’; page 5.—box F, the 

prompt has been updated to, ‘‘If this is 

an OST program (e.g., INFRA, MEGA, 

RAISE), has OST approved the 

adjustment? If no, do not proceed until 

you have obtained OST approval’’; 

added ‘‘N/A’’ checkbox; changed footer 

date to ‘‘(03/2023)’’; an ‘‘N/A’’ checkbox 

was added; and page 5, Section V, a 

financial field has been added next to 

‘‘If yes, denote the amount of needed 

Federal funds:’’, and changed the first 

signature required on top of page 6 from 

‘‘RFM’’ to ‘‘RCFO’’. These revisions are 

all items that FRA completes, and not 

the recipient. 

FRA is updating existing form FRA F 

6180.34 Quarterly Progress Report with 

the following edits: Added a 

certification checkbox after Field 10 for 

the grantee to mark. The updated FRA 

F 6180.34 also removes questions 11, 

19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26a, and 26b. 

In addition, FRA is requesting to 

discontinue the use of FRA F 6180.35 

Grant Application Form. After careful 

review, FRA has determined that this 

form has not been used in several years 

and applications are currently received 

by SF–424 Application for Federal 

Assistance. Continuing to use FRA F 

6180.35 creates duplicative burden for 

applicants. 

In this 60-day notice, FRA has made 

program changes and adjustments that 

have decreased the previously approved 

burden hours from 31,811 hours to 

28,869 hours. Additional grant funding 

authorized by the Bipartisan 

Infrastructure Law (BIL) has 

significantly increased grant 

applications and FRA has made 

adjustments that more accurately reflect 

the estimated number of submissions 

over this three-year collection period. 

These adjustments, and the proposed 

new form, FRA F 6180.288 Pre-Award 

Authority Request, created an increase 

in burden hours of 5,558 hours, 

however the discontinuance of FRA F 

6180.35 Grant Application Form 

reduced the burden by 8,500 hours. This 

resulted in an overall reduction in 

burden of 2,942 hours.

currently approved collection.

Steel Oakland motorcycle helmets, 

manufactured between August 1, 2021, 

and August 31, 2021, were reported by 

the manufacturer. 

III. Noncompliance: Comoto explains 

that the noncompliance is that when the 

subject helmets are subjected to the low 

temperature conditioning procedure, as 

specified in paragraph S6.4.1(b), and 

then tested in accordance with 

paragraph S7.1, they do not meet the 

requirements provided in paragraph 

S5.1(b) of FMVSS No. 218. Specifically, 

Comoto found that during its own 

FMVSS No. 218 testing, a single helmet 

failed the impact attenuation dwell time 

requirement because a cumulative dwell 

time of 2.07 ms was measured during 

the second impact onto the flat anvil, at 

the right location of the helmet 

conditioned to the low temperature 

procedure. 

IV. Rule Requirements: Paragraph 

S5.1(b), of FMVSS No. 218 includes the 

requirements relevant to this petition. 

Each helmet must meet the 

requirements of paragraph S5.1 when 

subjected to any conditioning procedure 

specified in S6.4.1(b) and tested in 

accordance with S7.1. When an impact 

attenuation test is conducted in 

accordance with paragraph S7.1, among 

other requirements, accelerations in 

excess of 200g shall not exceed a 

cumulative duration of 2.0 milliseconds
