information, it must provide 30 days’ 

notice 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 

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. The 30-day notice 

informs the regulated community of its 

opportunity to file relevant comments 

and affords the agency adequate time to 

consider public comments before it 

renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 

29, 1995. Therefore, each respondent 

should submit their 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: Report of Railroad Trespasser 

Form. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0635. 

Abstract: Trespassing on railroad 

rights-of-way and other railroad 

property is the leading cause of fatalities 

attributable to railroad operations in the 

United States. To address this serious 

issue, the railroad industry, 

governments (Federal, State, and local), 

and other interested parties must know 

more about the individuals who trespass 

and causes. With such knowledge, 

specific educational programs, 

materials, and messages regarding the 

hazards and consequences of 

trespassing on railroad property can be 

developed and effectively distributed. 

Due to the lack of available root cause 

data, FRA collects data from law 

enforcement agencies to develop general 

descriptions of the causes of trespassing. 

This allows FRA and other interested 

parties, such as Operation Lifesaver, to 

target audiences with appropriate 

education and enforcement campaigns 

to reduce the resulting annual number 

of injuries and fatalities. 

Completion and submission of form 

FRA F 6180.178, Report of Railroad 

Trespasser Form, is required for law 

enforcement agency grantees as a 

condition of FRA’s Railroad Trespassing 

Enforcement Grant Program. Grantees 

complete the form for each railroad 

trespasser incident in their jurisdiction, 

describing the trespasser’s ethnicity, 

gender, and age to the best of their 

ability. For law enforcement agencies 

that do not receive FRA’s Railroad 

Trespassing Enforcement grants, 

completion and submission of this form 

is voluntary. 

FRA provides an electronic option 

where the respondents can respond via 

a web-based form. The web-based form 

also helps FRA maintain the data 

collected in a more useful and uniform 

manner, as the dropdown boxes 

facilitate more standardized responses. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change (with changes in estimates) of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Affected Public: Public authorities. 

Form(s): FRA F 6180.178. 

Respondent Universe: Law 

enforcement agencies. 

Frequency of Submission: Monthly. 

Total Estimated Annual Responses: 

2,600. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 350 

hours. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour 

Dollar Cost Equivalent: $21,196. 

FRA informs all interested parties that 

it may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information that does 

not display a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
