about this collection in the Federal Register (88 FR 30830 (May 12,

period. No comments were received.
Comments are requested concerning: (1) the accuracy of the Board's
burden estimates; (2) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; (3) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, when appropriate; and (4) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Board, including whether the collection has practical utility.
Submitted comments will be summarized and included in the Board's
request for OMB approval.
Description of Collection
Title: Report of Fuel Cost, Consumption, and Surcharge Revenue.
OMB Control Number: 2140-0014.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without change.
Respondents: Class I [large] railroads.
Number of Respondents: Seven.
Estimated Time per Response: One hour.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Total Burden Hours (annually including all respondents): 28.

Needs and Uses: Under 49 U.S.C. 10702, the Board has the authority
to address the reasonableness of a rail
[[Page 45266]]
carrier's practices. This information collection regarding fuel cost,
consumption, and surcharge revenues permits the Board to monitor the
current fuel surcharge practices of the Class I carriers. Failure to
collect this information would impede the Board's ability to fulfill
its statutory responsibilities. The Board has authority to collect
information about rail costs and revenues under 49 U.S.C. 11144 and
11145.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that conducts or sponsors a
collection of information must display a currently valid OMB control
number. A collection of information, which is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c), includes agency requirements that persons
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to the agency,
third parties, or the public. Section 3507(b) of the PRA requires,
concurrent with an agency's submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 30-day notice and comment period through publication in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information.
Dated: July 10, 2023.
Kenyatta Clay,
Clearance Clerk.
