SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 35013520, 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 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 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.
3506c2A; 5 CFR 1320.8d1.
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:
