submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)(I)–(iv); 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1)(I)–(iv). FRA believes that 

soliciting public comment will promote 

its efforts to reduce the administrative 

and paperwork burdens associated with 

the collection of information mandated 

by Federal regulations. In summary, 

FRA reasons that comments received 

will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce 

reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it 

organizes information collection 

requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format 

to improve the use of such information; 

and (iii) accurately assess the resources 

expended to retrieve and produce 

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 

3501.
