SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 35013520, 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.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8
through 1320.12. On December 10, 2020, FRA published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register soliciting comment on the ICR for which it is now seeking OMB approval. See 85 FR 79559. FRA
received no comments in response to this 60-day notice.
Before OMB decides whether to approve the proposed collection of information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 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. 3507bc; 5 CFR
1320.12b; 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.
Comments are invited on the following ICR regarding: 1 Whether the information collection activities are necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether the information will have practical utility;
2 the accuracy of FRAs 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 to minimize the burden of information collection activities on the public, including the use of automated collection techniques DATES:
