Short Statement:
The total burden for this information collection has increased by 23,077 hours from the last submission. The increase in burden is due to three program changes and to one adjustment. Specifically, the following requirements reflect program changes and corresponding burden increases: (1.) Under § 214.315(a)(3), the proposed rule stipulates that information must be provided about tracks adjacent to the track to be fouled, on-track safety for such tracks, if required by this subpart, and identification of any roadway maintenance machines that will foul such tracks during the daily job briefing. This new requirement increased the burden by 20,029 hours (from 545,000 hours to 565,029 hours). (2.) Under § 214.336, the proposed rule requires that adjacent controlled on-track safety procedures must be communicated to roadway work group employees. This new requirement increased the burden by 130 hours (from zero (0) hours to 130 hours). (3.) Under the training requirements stipulated in §§ 214.343214.355, the proposed rule requires training in adjacent controlled on-track safety procedures for roadway workers assigned duties in such areas. FRA estimated that approximately 35,000 roadway workers would be affected and that it would take an additional five (5) minutes to train these workers in the necessary safety procedures. This new requirement increased the burden by 2,917 hours. Total increases from program changes then amount to 23,076 hours. As mentioned, there was also one adjustment, which also increased the burden. It is as follows: (1.) Under § 214.505, FRA revised the number of lists of new and designated on-track roadway maintenance machine types (from nine (9) to 10). This change in estimate increased the burden by one (1) hour (from nine (9) hours to 10 hours). Total increases from adjustments then amount to one (1) hour. Currently, the OMB inventory for this collection of information shows a burden total of 817,358 hours, while this revised submission reflects a total burden of 840,435 hours. Hence, there is a total burden increase of 23,077 hours. There is no change in cost to respondents since the last submission.
