26800 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 87 / Thursday, May 5, 2022 / Notices 

Declaration No. 2020–002 was in place 

required that FMCSA seek information 

on the number of motor carriers and 

drivers relying upon the emergency 

declaration in order to evaluate the need 

for additional extensions. 

The extension issued on August 31, 

2021, included a requirement for motor 

carriers to report, on a monthly basis, 

their reliance on the emergency 

declaration during operations. FMCSA 

established a website where motor 

carriers and drivers filled out fields for 

their USDOT number, the number of 

commercial motor vehicle trips that 

relied upon the emergency declaration 

in the preceding month (using a drop 

down menu), the commodities being 

transported (using a drop down menu), 

and a follow up for those listing more 

than one commodity to indicate which 

was transported the most (using a drop 

down menu). The November 29, 2021, 

extension continued the reporting 

requirement. OMB approved the 

reporting requirement on an emergency 

basis on August 30, 2021, and 

subsequently extended that emergency 

approval on February 14, 2022. That 

approval expires on August 31, 2022. 

FMCSA refined the burden estimates to 

reflect the average number of monthly 

submissions received from September 

2021 to February 2022. The carrier is 

reporting for the previous month, 

therefore October 2021 submitted 

reports consist of data for the month of 

September, and March 2022 submitted 

reports consist of data for the month of 

February. 

This resulted in a decrease in the 

number of reports estimated to be 

submitted each month, as the 

emergency ICR request used the total 

number of motor vehicles as a stand-in, 

and acknowledged that number was 

likely to be an overestimate. 

Title: Acknowledgement of use of 

COVID–19 Emergency Declaration 

Relief. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0074. 

Type of Request: Renewal of an 

approved emergency collection. 

Respondents: Motor carriers and 

drivers that operate under the terms of 

the extended COVID–19 Emergency 

Declaration No. 2020–002. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

477 per month. 

Estimated Time per Response: 15 

minutes per response. 

Expiration Date: The emergency 

approval expires on August 31, 2022. 

Frequency of Response: Monthly. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

1,431 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the performance of 

FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of 

the estimated burden; (3) ways for 

FMCSA to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. The Agency will 

summarize or include your comments in 

the request for OMB’s clearance of this 

ICR.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2006–24216] 

Petition for Extension of Waiver of 

Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on March 31, 2022, the Sacramento 

Regional Transit District (SRTD) 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for an extension 

of a waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of the Federal railroad safety 

regulations contained at 49 CFR parts 

222, Use of Locomotive Horns at Public 

Highway-Rail Grade Crossings; 229, 

Railroad Locomotive Safety Standards; 

and 234, Grade Crossing Safety. The 

relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA– 

2006–24216. 

Specifically, SRTD requests a waiver 

extension from 49 CFR part 222; 

§ 229.125, Headlights and auxiliary 

lights; and § 234.105(c)(3), Activation 

failure, for its rail fixed guideway public 

transit system that shares limited 

connections in corridors with Union 

Pacific Railroad (UP). The relief from 

part 222 would apply to 17 highway-rail 

grade crossings SRTD shares with UP on 

SRTD’s Gold Line. The relief from 

§ 229.125 and § 234.105(c)(3) would 

apply to all crossings SRTD shares with 

UP on the SRTD Blue and Gold lines. 

STRD adds that, in August 2022, it will 

be receiving 28 of 76 new low-floor light 

rail vehicles from Siemens Mobility 

Inc., to replace its fleet of Siemens 

vehicles. SRTD states that it believes the 

waiver extension is consistent with 

railroad safety.
