Abstract: The grade crossing inventory, used by States and railroads, reports changes to or closings of grade crossings to update or add to the existing National Inventory File. Previously, railroads and States submitted this information voluntarily. The final rule -- and associated information collection -- requires railroads that operate one or more trains through highway-rail or pathway crossings to submit information to the U.S. DOT National Highway-Rail Crossing Inventory about the crossings through which they operate. These amendments, mandated by section 204 of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, require railroads to submit information about previously unreported and new highway-rail and pathway crossings to the U.S. DOT National Highway-Rail Crossing Inventory and to periodically update existing crossing data.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total burden has decreased by 9,505 hours and 34,106 responses from the last approved submission. The change in burden is due solely to adjustments. The table provided in the answer to question number 15 of the attached Supporting Justification reflects all the adjustments. : Adjustments shown in the table provided decreased the burden by 9,505 hours and decreased responses by 34,106 from the last approved submission. The current OMB inventory shows a total burden of 17,798 hours and 418,398 responses, while the present submission exhibits a total burden of 8,293 hours and 384,292 responses. Hence, there is a total decrease of 9,505 hours and 34,106 responses. The cost to respondents has decreased by $1,178,701 from the last submission. The decrease is due to an adjustment concerning initial update of the Inventory, which has now been completed. This adjustment decreased burden cost by $1,178,701. The previous estimated cost to respondents amounted to $1,998,174, while the present estimated cost to respondents amounts to $819,473. Hence, there is a decrease in cost to respondents of $1,178,701.
