SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The purpose of this 

study is to quantify and assess 

consumer awareness of the Household 

Goods (HHG) Consumer Information 

Program. The study will determine the 

interstate moving public’s recognition or 

knowledge of the Program’s activities or 

messages, such as the ‘‘Protect Your 

Move’’ campaign. The data will be 

collected through a telephone survey. 

Results of the study will not be 

published, but used for internal research 

purposes by FMCSA in developing 

future HHG campaign materials, 

identifying target audiences, and 

determining distribution strategies to 

provide better consumer information to 

the public. It will also serve as a 

baseline for future program evaluations 

or assessments. A follow-up telephone 

survey will be conducted two years after 

the initial data collection and compared 

against the results from the baseline 

assessment. 

Title: Household Goods Consumer 

Information Program Assessment Study. 

OMB Control Number: 2126-xxxx. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Respondents: Public/consumers who 

have moved household goods from one 

State to a different State throughout the 

U.S. (Interstate Household Goods 

Shippers). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,500. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated average burden per response 

is 15 minutes. 

Expiration Date: N/A. 

Frequency of Response: This 

information collection will occur twice 

within the effective period of the OMB 

clearance; once in the current year and 

once again two years following the 

initial data collection. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 375 

[1,500 respondents × 15 minutes/60 

minutes per response = 375]. 

Public Comments Invited: Interested 

parties are invited to send comments 

regarding any aspect of this information 

collection, including but not limited to: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the performance of 

FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of

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. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB’s clearance for this 

information collection.

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), this notice 

announces that the Information 

Collection Requirement (ICR) abstracted 

below has been forwarded to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes 

the nature of the information collection 

and its expected burden. The Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period soliciting comments on the 

following collection of information was 

published on July 20, 2007 (See 72 FR 

39886). 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before October 26, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert Brogan, Office of Planning and 

Evaluation Division, RRS–21, Federal 

Railroad Administration, 1120 Vermont 

Ave., NW., Mail Stop 17, Washington, 

DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493–6292), 

or Ms. Gina Christodoulou, Office of 

Support Systems Staff, RAD–43, Federal 

Railroad Administration, 1120 Vermont 

Ave., NW., Mail Stop 35, Washington, 

DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493–6139). 

(These telephone numbers are not tollfree.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Public Law No. 104–13, section 

2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as 

revised at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to issue 

two notices seeking public comment on 

information collection activities before 

OMB may approve paperwork packages. 

44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 

1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On July 20, 2007, 

FRA published a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register soliciting comment on 

ICRs that the agency was seeking OMB 

approval. 72 FR 39886. FRA received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve these proposed collections of 

information, it must provide 30 days for 

public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5 

CFR 1320.12(d). 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. OMB believes that the 30 

day notice informs the regulated 

community to file relevant comments 

and affords the agency adequate time to 

digest public comments before it 

renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 

29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should 

submit their respective comments to 

OMB within 30 days of publication to 

best ensure having their full effect. 5 

CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. 

The summaries below describe the 

nature of the information collection 

requirements (ICRs) and the expected 

burden. The revised requirements are 

being submitted for clearance by OMB 

as required by the PRA. 

Title: Railroad Communications 

(Formerly Transmission of Train Orders 

by Radio). 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0524. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Railroads. 

Form(s): N/A. 

Abstract: The Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) amended its radio 

standards and procedures to promote 

compliance by making regulations more 

flexible; to require wireless 

communications devices, including 

radios, for specified classifications of 

railroad operations and roadway 

workers; and to re-title this part to 

reflect its coverage of other means of 

wireless communications such as 

cellular telephones, data radio 

terminals, and other forms of wireless 

communications to convey emergency 

and need-to-know information. The new 

rule establishes safe, uniform 

procedures covering the use of radio 

and other wireless communications 

within the railroad industry. 

Annual Estimated Burden: 238,704 

hours. 

Addressee: Send comments regarding 

these information collections to the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20503; Attention: FRA 

Desk Officer. 

Comments are invited on the 

following: Whether the proposed 

collections of information are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of FRA, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the 

burden of the proposed information 

collections; ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collections of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is best assured of 

having its full effect if OMB receives it 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
