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.
