Specifically, under section 225.21-Forms, FRA is introducing a new automated version of Form FRA F 6180.39i, which will be used by Federal and State inspectors. The estimated burden for this new form is 1,500 hours. The current OMB inventory for this collection shows 46,021 hours, while this submission exhibits a total of 47,521 hours.
