Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2017–0006] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Reinstatement of an 

Information Collection: Practices of 

Household Goods Brokers 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

FMCSA announces its plan to submit 

the Information Collection Request (ICR) 

described below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

reinstatement and approval and invites 

public comment. The FMCSA requests 

approval to reinstate, with changes, the 

ICR titled ‘‘Practices of Household 

Brokers’’ to no longer include one-time 

costs previously incurred by brokers, 

and to update other wage related costs 

that have changed since the last 

approval. This ICR requires 

reinstatement because the previous ICR 

expired on July 31, 2017, before the ICR 

renewal request could be submitted to 

OMB for approval. The reinstatement of 

this ICR is necessary, and FMCSA’s 

responsibility to ensure consumer 

protection in the transportation of 

household goods (HHG). 

DATES: Please send your comments by 

September 15, 2017. OMB must receive 

your comments by this date in order to 

act quickly on the ICR. 

ADDRESSES: All comments should 

reference Federal Docket Management 

System (FDMS) Docket Number 

FMCSA–2017–0006. Interested persons 

are invited to submit written comments 

on the proposed information collection 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There 

were no comments received from the 

60-day Federal Register notice (82 FR 

14102) published on March 16, 2017. 

Background: FMCSA amended thenexisting regulations for brokers in 

response to Title IV, Subtitle B of the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59) 

and a petition for rulemaking from the 

American Moving and Storage 

Association (AMSA). The final rule, 

titled ‘‘Brokers of Household Goods 

Transportation by Motor Vehicles,’’ (75 

FR 72987, Nov. 29, 2010), amended 49 

CFR part 371, by providing additional 

consumer protection responsibilities for 

brokers of HHG. Specifically, section 

4212 of SAFETEA–LU directs the 

Secretary to require HHG brokers to 

provide individual shippers with the 

following information whenever a 

broker has contact with a shipper or 

potential shipper: 

1. The broker’s USDOT number. 

2. The FMCSA booklet titled ‘‘Your 

Rights and Responsibilities When You 

Move.’’ 

3. A list of all authorized motor 

carriers providing transportation of 

HHG used by the broker and a statement 

that the broker is not a motor carrier 

providing transportation of HHG. 

The collection of information required 

in the referenced final rule assists 

shippers in their business dealings with 

interstate HHG brokers. The information 

collected is used by prospective 

shippers to make informed decisions 

about contracts, services ordered, 

executed, and settled. The HHG broker 

is often the primary contact for 

individual shippers and in the best 

position to educate shippers and 

prepare them for a successful move. The 

information collected makes that 

possible. It also combats deceptive 

business practices as the information 

helps enforcement personnel better 

protect consumers by verifying that 

shippers are receiving information to 

which they are entitled by regulation. 

HHG brokers are required to provide 

individual shippers the ‘‘Your Rights 

and Responsibilities When You Move’’ 

booklet and the ‘‘Ready to Move’’ 

brochure. They have the option of 

providing paper copies or presenting the 

information through a link on their 

Internet Web site. The broker is required 

to document with signed receipts that 

the individual shipper was provided 

those materials. HHG brokers are also 

required to provide the list of HHG 

motor carriers for which it would 

arrange transportation to move a 

potential individual shipper’s HHG, and 

that broker’s identification information: 

1. Assigned USDOT number; and 

2. Address. 

With this renewal, FMCSA makes a 

change to the collection to an 

adjustment in estimate. A program 

estimate change of 19,522 annual 

burden hours is the result of the 

removal of a 1,000 burden-hours that are 

no longer applicable. There is also an 

updated estimate in the number of 

household goods brokers which also 

contributes to the change of 19,522 in 

the calculated burden hours. 

Title: Practices of Household Goods 

Brokers. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0048. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of an 

information collection. 

Respondents: Brokers of Household 

Goods. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

543 brokers. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 

hours per day × 240 workdays for 

transactions per household goods 

broker; 20 hours per year per broker for 

Web site/ad modifications; 10 hours per 

year per household goods broker for 

creating a list of carriers; 0.5 hours per 

month × 12 months per household 

goods broker for confirming required 

information; 0.083 hour per year × 36.8 

explanations on average per household 

goods broker; 4 hours per year × 5 

agreements per household goods broker 

for annual agreements through turnover; 

and 10 hours per year per household 

goods broker for disclosure and records. 

Expiration Date: July 31, 2017. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

70,000 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 information 

collection.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2017–0074; Notice No. 1] 

Addressing Electrode-Induced Rail 

Pitting From Pressure Electric Welding 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of draft Safety Advisory; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: This document provides 

notice of FRA’s intent to issue a Safety 

Advisory alerting railroads, contractors, 

and the rail welding industry of the 

potential for electrode-induced rail 

pitting and fatigue cracking during the 

pressure electric rail welding process. 

Based on investigation and research, 

FRA believes improper electrode 

contact to the rail during the welding 

process can result in electrode-induced 

pitting that may lead to fatigue fracture 

and ultimately rail failure. The draft 

Safety Advisory includes 

recommendations to help the industry 

prevent electrode-induced rail pitting 

and to inspect for and then remediate 

such pitting if it occurs. FRA invites 

public comment on all aspects of the 

draft Safety Advisory. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on the draft Safety 

Advisory provided below on or before 

October 16, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Comments in response to 

this notice may be submitted by any of 

the following methods: 

• Web site: The Federal eRulemaking 

Portal, www.Regulations.gov. Follow the 

Web site’s online instructions for 

submitting comments.
