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: Six.
Estimated Time per Response: One hour.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Total Burden Hours (annually including all respondents): 24.
Total ``Non-Hour Burden'' Cost: None identified. Filings are
submitted electronically to the Board.
Needs and Uses: Under 49 U.S.C. 10702, the Board has the authority
to address the reasonableness of a rail carrier's practices. This
information collection 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.
The Board makes this submission because, 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.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), federal agencies are required to
provide, prior to an agency's submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-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: June 10, 2026.
Regena Smith-Bernard,
Clearance Clerk.
