The Federal Railroad Administration and the railroad industry use the information to determine the extent of alcohol and drug abuse on railroad property as well as to curtail widespread alcohol and drug use. In response to Congress’ mandate in the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), FRA has expanded the scope of its drug and alcohol regulation to cover MOW employees. The final rule published in 2016 codified guidance from FRA compliance manuals, responds to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommendations, and adopted substantive amendments based upon FRA’s regulatory review of 30 years of implementation of this part. FRA will use information collected to ensure that railroads comply with all part 219 requirements that now covers maintenance-of-way (MOW) employees. This information collection is mandatory, submitted as needed, and there is a requirement for record keeping.

Currently, the OMB inventory for this collection of information shows a total burden of 22,672 hours and 863,408 responses, while this updated submission reflects a total burden of 3,132 hours and 427,661 responses. Overall, the adjustments decreased the burden by 19,540 hours and 435,747 responses. FRA provided a thorough review of this package and determined many of our initial figures were based on rough estimates. Additionally, we realized some of the estimates were double counted and others were outdated. Moreover, other estimates were not Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements, thus leading to the increased figures, which were decreased accordingly in this submission. Thus, our latest review has refined our estimates to be more accurate. The chart below provides specific information on the review of any that have changed.
