SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Consistent with the deregulatory agenda of President Donald J.
Trump and Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy, which seeks to
unleash America's economic prosperity without compromising
transportation safety, FRA is reviewing its regulatory requirements in
parts 200 through 299 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
FRA has identified thirteen sections throughout its regulations that
unnecessarily recite the approval of information collection
requirements by OMB, state the assigned OMB control number associated
with the entire CFR part, and list the sections in that part with
information collection requirements. These thirteen sections are
unnecessary because the final rules promulgating each regulation
generally contained the OMB control number applicable to that part \1\
and, every three years on a rolling basis, FRA publishes two notices in
the Federal Register stating its intent to renew each OMB control
number. Removing each of the thirteen sections that state OMB control
numbers, detailed below in the Section-by-Section Analysis, will
prevent potential confusion by persons seeking to understand the scope
of a particular OMB-approved control number. The potential confusion
arises because most of the sections to be removed also contain lists of
all the sections in that part which are covered by the OMB control
number. Those lists are updated much less frequently, if at all, than
FRA's submissions requesting renewed OMB approval of each control
number every three years. In addition, removing these thirteen sections
will collectively reduce the amount of CFR text that regulated entities
must read and FRA also anticipates that the cost of publishing the CFR
will be reduced because the removed sections collectively add pages to
the CFR. The most up-to-date catalog of all information collection
requirements approved by OMB under a particular control number can
easily be reviewed in the notices seeking renewed approval that FRA
publishes in the Federal Register at approximately three-year
intervals. Information about approved OMB control numbers is also
publicly available at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch</a>.
Overall, the removal of these sections will reduce burdens while making
technical changes without any adverse effect on railroad safety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The exceptions are parts 227, 230, 241 and 242. While an
approved OMB control was not included in final rules creating those
parts, the control numbers that were approved for each part were
later published in the Federal Register, as detailed in the Section-
by-Section Analysis.

III. Regulatory Impact and Notices
A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
FRA has evaluated this final rule in accordance with E.O. 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993), and DOT
Order 2100.6B, Policies and Procedures for Rulemaking (Mar. 10, 2025).
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs within the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) determined that this final rule is not a
significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of E.O. 12866.
FRA analyzed the potential costs and benefits of this final rule.
The regulated entities will benefit because removing each of the
thirteen sections that state OMB control numbers will eliminate
potential confusion by persons seeking to understand the scope of a
particular OMB-approved control number. Additionally, removing these
thirteen sections will collectively reduce the amount of CFR text that
regulated entities must read. The Government will also benefit from a
reduced cost of publishing the CFR since the removed sections
collectively add pages to the CFR.
B. E.O. 14192 (Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation)
E.O. 14192 (90 FR 9065, Jan. 31, 2025), Unleashing Prosperity
Through Deregulation, requires that for ``each new [E.O. 14192
regulatory action] issued, at least ten prior regulations be identified
for elimination.'' \2\ Implementation guidance for E.O. 14192 issued by
OMB (Memorandum M-25-20, Mar. 26, 2025) defines two different types of
E.O. 14192 actions: an E.O. 14192 deregulatory action, and an E.O.
14192 regulatory action.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Executive Office of the President. Executive Order 14192 of
January 31, 2025. Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation. 90 FR
9065-9067. Feb. 6, 2025.
\3\ Executive Office of the President. Office of Management and
Budget. Guidance Implementing Section 3 of Executive Order 14192,
Titled ``Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation.'' Memorandum M-
25-20. Mar. 26, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An E.O. 14192 deregulatory action is defined as ``an action that
has been finalized and has total costs less than zero.'' This proposed
rulemaking is expected to have total costs less than zero, and
therefore it would be considered an E.O. 14192 deregulatory action upon
issuance of a final rule. While FRA affirms that each amendment
proposed in this NPRM has a cost that is ``less than zero'' consistent
with E.O. 14192, FRA still requests comment on the extent of the cost
savings for the changes proposed in this NPRM.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act and E.O. 13272
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended
by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,\4\
requires Federal agencies to consider the effects of the regulatory
action on small business and other small entities and to minimize any
significant economic impact. Accordingly, DOT policy requires an
analysis of the impact of all regulations on small entities, and
mandates that agencies strive to lessen any adverse effects on these
businesses. The term small entities comprises small businesses and not-
for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and
are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000 (5 U.S.C. 601(6)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Public Law 104-121, 110 Stat. 857 (Mar. 29, 1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
No regulatory flexibility analysis is required, however, if the
head of an Agency or an appropriate designee certifies that the rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This proposed rule removes outdated and unnecessary
regulatory sections without adding any regulatory burden or costs for
any entity. Consequently, the undersigned certifies that the proposed
action would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
In accordance with section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121, 110 Stat. 857), FRA
wants to assist small entities in understanding this proposed rule so
they can better evaluate its effects on themselves and participate in
the rulemaking initiative. If the proposed rule would affect your small
business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule contains no new information collection
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).
E. Environmental Assessment
FRA has analyzed this rule for the purposes of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). In accordance with 42 U.S.C.
4336 and DOT NEPA Order 5610.1C, FRA has determined that this rule is
categorically excluded pursuant to 23 CFR 771.118(c)(4), ``[p]lanning
and administrative activities that do not involve or lead directly to
construction, such as: [p]romulgation of rules, regulations, and
directives.'' This rulemaking is not anticipated to result in any
environmental impacts, and there are no unusual or extraordinary
circumstances present in connection with this rulemaking.
[[Page 28625]]
F. Federalism Implications
This proposed rule will not have a substantial effect on the
States, on the relationship between the national government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Thus, in accordance with E.O. 13132,
``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, Aug. 10, 1999), preparation of a
Federalism Assessment is not warranted.
G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This proposed rule would not result in the expenditure, in the
aggregate, of $100,000,000 or more, adjusted for inflation, in any one
year by State, local, or Indian Tribal governments, or the private
sector. Thus, consistent with section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4, 2 U.S.C. 1532), FRA is not required
to prepare a written statement detailing the effect of such an
expenditure.
H. Energy Impact
E.O. 13211 requires Federal agencies to prepare a Statement of
Energy Effects for any ``significant energy action.'' \5\ FRA has
evaluated this proposed rule in accordance with E.O. 13211 and
determined that this proposed rule is not a ``significant energy
action'' within the meaning of E.O. 13211.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. E.O. 13175 (Tribal Consultation)
FRA has evaluated this proposed rule in accordance with the
principles and criteria contained in E.O. 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, dated November 6, 2000.
The proposed rule would not have a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, would not impose substantial direct compliance
costs on Indian tribal governments, and would not preempt tribal laws.
Therefore, the funding and consultation requirements of E.O. 13175 do
not apply, and a tribal summary impact statement is not required.
J. International Trade Impact Assessment
The Trade Agreement Act of 1979 \6\ prohibits Federal agencies from
engaging in any standards or related activities that create unnecessary
obstacles to the foreign commerce of the United States. Legitimate
domestic objectives, such as safety, are not considered unnecessary
obstacles. The statute also requires consideration of international
standards and, where appropriate, that they be the basis for U.S.
standards. This rulemaking is purely domestic in nature and is not
expected to affect trade opportunities for U.S. firms doing business
overseas or for foreign firms doing business in the United States.
