and interstate drivers. FMCSA will use 

existing data from FMCSA systems to 

compare current safety and performance 

of CMV operators to the safety and 

performance of apprentices 

participating in the pilot program. 

Additionally, FMCSA will analyze the 

performance of apprentices before, 

during, and after their probationary 

periods. 

Monitoring and Oversight 

FMCSA will review both monthly 

data submitted by approved motor 

carriers and its own databases 

including, but not limited to, the Motor 

Carrier Management Information 

System, Safety Measurement System, 

CDL Information System, the Licensing 

and Insurance system, and the Drug and 

Alcohol Clearinghouse. FMCSA reserves 

the right to remove any motor carrier or 

driver from the pilot program for 

reasons including, but not limited to, 

failing to meet any of the requirements 

of the program. 

Length and Termination of Pilot 

Program 

Under 49 CFR part 381, FMCSA can 

continue the pilot program for up to 3 

years, but may conclude the program 

sooner if there is sufficient data to 

analyze the safety of the pilot program 

drivers or if there is reason to believe 

the program is not achieving an 

equivalent level of safety that would be 

achieved by complying with the 

regulations. Additionally, the BIL 

requires that on the date that is 3 years 

after the date of establishment of the 

pilot program, FMCSA will terminate 

the program. At that time, any driver 

under the age of 21 who has completed 

an apprenticeship program may 

continue to drive a CMV in interstate 

commerce until turning 21, unless it is 

determined a safety concern exists.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2022–0002–N–1] 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of information collection; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its 

implementing regulations, FRA seeks 

approval of the Information Collection 

Request (ICR) abstracted below. Before 

submitting this ICR to the Office 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 March 

15, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed ICR 

should be submitted on regulations.gov 

to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2022– 

0002. All comments received will be 

posted without change to the docket, 

including any personal information 

provided. Please refer to the assigned 

OMB control number in any 

correspondence submitted. FRA will 

summarize comments received in 

response to this notice in a subsequent 

notice and include them in its 

information collection submission to 

OMB for approval. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Hodan Wells, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, at email: 

hodan.wells@dot.gov or telephone: (202) 

493–0440. 

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, FRA reasons that 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 summaries below describe the 

ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB 

clearance as the PRA requires: 

Title: Locomotive Certification (Noise 

Compliance Regulations). 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0527. 

Abstract: Under authority granted by 

the Noise Control Act of 1972, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

has established limits for noise 

emissions related to rail carriers in 40 

CFR part 201. Those limits are enforced 

by FRA under 49 CFR part 210. In 

particular, the information FRA collects 

under § 210.27 is necessary to ensure 

compliance with EPA noise standards 

for new locomotives. Although railroads 

no longer need to display a certification 

badge or tag in the locomotive cab, as 

was previously required by nowremoved § 210.27(d), the locomotives 

still need to be tested and certified to 

comply with the noise emission 

standards, as required under 

§ 210.27(a)–(c). 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change (with changes in estimates) of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Form(s): N/A. 

Respondent Universe: 4 locomotive 

manufacturers. 

Frequency of Submission: On 

occasion. 

Reporting Burden:

1The current inventory exhibits a total burden of 

2,237 hours while the total burden of this notice is 

2 hours. As part of its review of this ICR renewal, 

FRA determined the 2018 estimates incorrectly 

included the time associated with the testing. For 

instance, under § 210.31, the burdens associated 

with testing have been addressed when FRA 

calculated the economic costs of the regulatory 

requirements. Additionally, the burden associated 

with the test records are covered under OMB 

control number 2130–0004. Thus, FRA has adjusted 

the estimated paperwork burden in the PRA table 

above so that it does not include activities outside 

of the scope of the PRA. 

2Throughout this notice, the dollar equivalent 

cost is derived from the Surface Transportation 

Board’s 2020 Full Year Wage A&B data series using

Title: Use of Locomotive Horns at 

Highway-Rail Grade Crossings. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0560. 

Abstract: Under 49 CFR part 222, FRA 

seeks to collect information from 

railroads and public authorities in order 

to increase safety at public highway-rail 

grade crossings nationwide by requiring 

that locomotive horns be sounded when 

trains approach and pass through these 

crossings or by ensuring that a safety 

level at least equivalent to that provided 

by routine locomotive horn sounding 

exists for quiet zone corridors in which 

such horn sounding is silenced. FRA 

reviews applications by public 

authorities intending to establish new 

quiet zones by implementing alternative 

safety measures and approves the 

effectiveness rate assigned to them. 

FRA made several adjustments to its 

estimated paperwork burdens in this 

ICR extension.

change (with changes in estimates) of a 

currently approved collection.

3The current inventory exhibits a total burden of 

9,236 hours while the total burden of this notice is 

7,254 hours. As part of its review of this ICR 

renewal, FRA determined some of the previous 

estimates were initial estimates, outdated, or 

duplicative. For instance, the burdens previously 

associated with Appendix B to Part 222 were zeroed 

because FRA has yet to receive, and does not 

anticipate receiving, any submissions under this 

provision. Additionally, the estimated paperwork 

burdens for §§ 222.25, 222.27, 222.35, 222.37, 

222.38, 222.45, and 222.49(b) are covered under
