[Docket No. FRA–2017–0002–N–12] 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice and comment request. 

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice 

announces that FRA is forwarding the 

currently approved Information 

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 

below to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and comment. 

The ICR describes the information 

collection and its expected burden. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before October 13, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding 

these information collections to the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 17th Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20503, Attention: FRA 

Desk Officer. Comments may also be 

sent via email to OMB at the following 

address: oira_submissions@

omb.eop.gov. 

Comments are invited on the 

following: Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for DOT to properly perform its 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

the accuracy of DOT’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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Kim Toone, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, Office of 

Administration, Office of Information 

Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad 

Administration, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington, 

DC 20590 (Telephone: (202) 493–6132). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

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), and 1320.10. On May 2, 

2017, FRA published a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register soliciting comment 

on the ICR for which it is now seeking 

OMB approval. See 82 FR 20530. 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 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 summary below describes the ICR 

and its expected burden. FRA is 

submitting the new request for clearance 

by OMB as the PRA requires. 

Title: Experimental Investigation of 

Automation-Induced Human Error in 

Locomotive Cab. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–XXXX. 

Abstract: The purpose of this 

collection is to identify and evaluate the 

potential for human error associated 

with the operation of systems and 

automation in the locomotive cab. This 

research addresses DOT’s strategic goal 

of safety. Once the nature and risk of the 

human error in locomotive cab systems 

and automation is better understood, 

error mitigating steps can be taken to 

provide safer systems and reduce the 

risk of accidents or incidents involving 

these systems. FRA will use the 

research’s results to identify training, 

operational procedures, or automation 

design standards that will improve the 

safety of automated systems in 

locomotive cabs. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection request.

Title: Design and Evaluation of a 

Robust Manual Locomotive Operating 

Mode. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–XXXX. 

Abstract: The purpose of this study is 

to design and evaluate a prototype 

locomotive operating mode that allows 

an operator to ‘‘manually’’ control a 

train by providing a desired speed target 

while the control system determines the 

throttle notch changes required. This 

research addresses DOT’s strategic goal 

of safety. Information collected from 

this research will be used by researchers 

and equipment designers to evaluate the 

merit of a prototype display and control 

configuration maximizing the use of 

both automation and human 

capabilities. The information will also 

assist the Federal government in 

recommending display design standards 

to the rail industry for future displays 

and the results may help design future 

displays and controls for locomotives. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to 

provide 60-days’ notice to the public to 

allow comment on information 

collection activities before seeking OMB 

approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C. 

3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8–12. 

Specifically, FRA invites interested 

parties to comment on the following 

ICRs regarding: (1) Whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

activities will have practical utility; (2) 

the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the 

burden of the information collection 

activities, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

determine the estimates; (3) ways for 

FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information being 

collected; and (4) ways for FRA to 

minimize the burden of information 

collection activities on the public, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1). 

FRA believes that soliciting public 

comment will promote its efforts to 

reduce the administrative and 

paperwork burdens associated with the 

collection of information that Federal 

regulations mandate. In summary, FRA 

reasons that comments received will 

advance three objectives: (1) Reduce 

reporting burdens; (2) ensure that it 

organizes information collection 

requirements in a ‘‘user-friendly’’ format 

to improve the use of such information; 

and (3) accurately assess the resources 

expended to retrieve and produce 

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 

3501. 

The summaries below describe the 

ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB 

clearance as the PRA requires: 

Title: Identification of Cars Moved 

under 49 CFR 232.3(d) (Formerly Order 

13528). 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0506. 

Abstract: This collection of 

information identifies certain railroad 

freight cars authorized to move under 49 

CFR 232.3(d) (formerly Interstate 

Commerce Commission Order 13528). 

Paragraph (d) of 49 CFR 232.3 allows for 

the movement of certain railroad freight 

cars without air brakes from initial 

terminal locations or through 

interchange locations under certain 

conditions. 

Paragraph (d) of 49 CFR 232.3 

requires the cars to be identified by a 

card attached to the side of the 

equipment specifically noting and 

signed by the shipper that the car is 

being moved under the authority of that 

paragraph. Railroads typically use 

carrier bad order forms or tags for these 

purposes. These forms are readily 

available from all carrier repair 

facilities. If a car moving under 49 CFR 

232.3(d) is not properly tagged, a carrier 

is not legally allowed to move the car. 

Section 232.3(d)(3) does not require 

carriers or shippers to retain cards or 

tags. When a car bearing a tag for 

movement under this provision arrives
