Federal Railroad Administration


Agency Request for Emergency Processing of Collection of 
Information by the Office of Management and Budget; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issues a notice of 
correction regarding its request for emergency processing by the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) of a collection of information involving 
a survey to measure and evaluate the corporate culture of the railroad 
industry. This collection is part of a project intended to assist in 
promoting effective railroad safety culture on the major railroads.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FRA submitted the information collection 
requests (ICRs) described below to OMB for emergency processing under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35). FRA requested that OMB authorize the collection of information for 
180 days after the issuance of the notice published in the Federal 
Register. See 63 FR 17478, April 9, 1998. OMB approved the ICRs and 
assigned approval number 2130-0546 for the collection of information.
    A copy of these ICRs, with applicable documentation, may be 
obtained by telephoning FRA's clearance officers, Robert Brogan 
(telephone number (202) 632-3318) or Maryann Johnson (telephone number 
(202) 632-3226). Questions about the ICRs should be directed to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer 
for FRA, Washington, DC 20503.
    In the previous notice, the ICRs were described as follows:
Title: Railroad Safety Culture Survey
    OMB Number: 2130-new.
    Frequency: One-time.
    Affected Public: Railroad workers.
    Number of respondents: 1100.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 20 minutes.
    Total Burden: 367 hours.
Title: Railroad Safety Culture Survey--Focus Group Sessions
    OMB Number: 2130-new.
    Frequency: One-time.
    Affected Public: Railroad workers.
    Number of respondents: 420 employees attending 28 session groups.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 2 hrs.
    Total Burden: 840 hours.
Title: Railroad Safety Culture Survey--Key Interviews
    OMB Number: 2130-new.
    Frequency: One-time.
    Affected Public: Railroad managers.
    Number of respondents: 16.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 1 hr.
    Total Burden: 16 hours.

    This information correctly represented the ICRs approved by OMB. 
FRA welcomes the participation of railroad management, labor 
organizations, and individual employees in this culture survey, which 
seeks to identify and help develop strategies to address any barriers 
to effective railroad safety culture on the major railroads. 
Accordingly, FRA corrects the element entitled ``Description'' to read 
as follows:

    Description: These ICRs are intended to (i) identify 
characteristics of the safety cultures of the four selected Class I 
railroads; and (ii) identify any outstanding operational safety 
culture issues that could be addressed through on-going efforts in 
partnership with FRA.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. Secs. 3501-3520.

    Issued in Washington, DC on June 9, 1998.
