Short Statement: This is an extension without change (with changes in estimates) of a previously approved collection of information. The current OMB inventory for this information collection reflects annual total burden of 22,974 hours and 1,837,925 responses, while the requesting inventory estimates a total annual burden of 22,973 hours and 1,837,850 responses. FRA made an adjustment under § 218.77 which covers the protection of occupied camp cars. The number of notifications annually has been reduced from 150 to 75, to better reflect the infrequent usage of these types of cars. All other requirements in this information collection remained the same.
