This collection of information is
mandatory, collected as needed, and is associated with FRA's rule
49 CFR part 225. It involves both reporting and recordkeeping
requirements. FRA uses the information obtained through its
accident/incident regulations to maintain a current and historical
databased so that it can monitor the safety and operational
practices of the nation's railroads; to identify and promptly
ameliorate hazardous conditions associated with rail
transportation; and to assure compliance with Federal railroad
safety laws. Additionally, the information collected enables FRA to
promote and enhance railroad safety.

The current OMB inventory for
this information collection shows a total burden of 46,577 hours
and 109,440 responses, while the requesting inventory estimates a
total burden of 35,846 hours and 89,057 responses. Overall, the
burden for this submission has decreased by 10,731 hours and
decreased by 20,383 responses. There is no change in the method of
the collection. The decrease in burden is solely the result of
adjustments. FRA determined some of the estimates were being
accounted for in multiple areas of the information collection
request. For instance, burden hours associated with passenger
injuries under § 225.21/25 (Form 6180.98) were removed because they
are already included under § 225.21 (Form 6180.55). The table under
question 15 of the supporting justification document provides
specific information on any burden estimates that have changed from
the previous submission.
