The current inventory exhibits a total burden of
18,865 hours while the total burden of this notice
is 1,357 hours. FRA determined some of the
estimates were not derived from PRA requirements,
thus leading to the increased figures in the current
inventory, which were decreased accordingly in
this notice. Also, FRA made a few textual edits and
corrections on Forms 2 and 5.

The dollar equivalent cost is derived from the
Surface Transportation Board’s 2019 Full Year
Wage A&B data series using the appropriate
employee group hourly wage rate that includes a
75-percent overhead charge.

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks

Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified in the ICR.

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 through
1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites
interested parties to comment on the
following ICR 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 may 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)
organize 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 summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Inspection and Maintenance of
Steam Locomotives.
1
OMB Control Number: 2130–0505.
Abstract: The Boiler Inspection Act of
1911 required each railroad subject to
the Act to file copies of its rules and
instructions for the inspection of
locomotives. The original Act was
expanded to cover all steam locomotives
and tenders, and all their parts and
appurtenances. As amended, this Act
requires carriers to make inspections
and to repair defects to ensure the safe
operation of steam locomotives.
Currently, the collection of information
is used primarily by tourist or historic
railroads and by locomotive owners/
operators to provide a record for each
day a steam locomotive is placed in
service, as well as a record that the
required steam locomotive inspections
are completed. The collection of
information is also used by FRA and
State rail safety inspectors to verify that
necessary safety inspections and tests
have been completed and to ensure that
steam locomotives are indeed ‘‘safe and
suitable’’ for service and are properly
operated and maintained.
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Form(s): FRA–1, FRA–2, FRA–3,
FRA–4, FRA–5, and FRA–19.
Respondent Universe: 82 steam
locomotive owners/operators.
