BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

Notice and Request for Comments; 

Waybill Compliance Survey 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, 

DOT. 

ACTION: 60-day Notice of Intent to seek 

extension of approval. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3519 (PRA), the Surface Transportation 

Board (STB or Board) gives notice of its 

intent to seek from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) an 

extension of approval for the currently 

approved Waybill Compliance Survey. 

This information collection is described 

in detail below. Comments are 

requested concerning (1) the accuracy of 

the Board’s burden estimates; (2) ways 

to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collected; (3) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

when appropriate; and (4) whether this 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Board, including 

whether the collection has practical 

utility. Submitted comments will be 

summarized and included in the 

Board’s request for OMB approval. 

Description of Collection 

Title: Waybill Compliance Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 2140–0010. 

STB Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change. 

Respondents: Regulated railroads that 

did not submit carload waybill sample 

information to the STB in the previous 

year. 

Number of Respondents: 120. 

Estimated Time per Response: .5 

hours. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Total Burden Hours (annually 

including all respondents): 60. 

Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: No 

‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated with 

this collection have been identified. 

Needs and Uses: The ICC Termination 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–88, 109 

Stat. 803 (1995), which took effect on 

January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate 

Commerce Commission and transferred 

to the STB the responsibility for the 

economic regulation of common carrier 

rail transportation, including the 

collection and administration of the 

Carload Waybill Sample. Under 49 CFR 

1244, a railroad terminating 4, 500 or 

more carloads, or terminating at least 

5% of the total revenue carloads that 

terminate in a particular state, in any of 

the three preceding years is required to 

file carload waybill sample information 

(Waybill Sample) for all line-haul 

revenue waybills terminating on its 

lines. The information in the Waybill 

Sample is used to monitor traffic flows 

and rate trends in the industry. The 

Board needs to collect information in 

the Waybill Compliance Survey— 

information on carloads of traffic 

terminated each year by U.S. railroads— 

in order to determine which railroads 

are required to file the Waybill Sample. 

In addition, information collected in the 

Waybill Compliance Survey, on a 

voluntary basis, about the total 

operating revenue of each railroad helps 

to determine whether respondents are 

subject to other statutory or regulatory 

requirements. Accurate determinations 

regarding the size of a railroad helps the 

Board minimize the reporting burden 

for smaller railroads. The Board has 

authority to collect this information 

under 49 U.S.C. 11144 and 11145 and 

under 49 CFR 1244.2. 

DATES: Comments on this information 

collection should be submitted by July 

26, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to 

Marilyn Levitt, Surface Transportation 

Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, 

DC 20423–0001, or to 

levittm@stb.dot.gov. When submitting 

comments, please refer to ‘‘Waybill 

Compliance Survey, OMB control 

number 2140–0010.’’

A COPY OF THE STB FORM, CONTACT: Paul 

Aguiar, (202) 245–0323 or at

the hearing impaired is available

Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339.] 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, a Federal agency conducting or 

sponsoring a collection of information 

must display a currently valid OMB 

control number. A collection of 

information, which is defined in 44 

U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c), 

includes agency requirements that 

persons submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to the agency, third 

parties, or the public. Under section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, Federal 

agencies are required to provide, prior 

to an agency’s submitting a collection to 

OMB for approval, a 60-day notice and 

comment period through publication in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information. 

Dated: May 24, 2010.

Clearance Clerk.
