Abstract: The regulations require that any railroad carrier that has a freight car assigned to dedicated service be stenciled to indicate special service, according to 49 CFR 215. The FRA must be notified by the railroad carrier by written description of the special service. FRA reviews this information to determine if the equipment is safe to operate and if the operation qualifies for dedicated service. The required information is also used by the railroads to provide identification and control for carriers so that dedicated cars remain in the prescribed service. This information collection is mandatory, submitted on an as needed basis, and there is a requirement for record keeping.
