C3RS TRANSPORTATION FORM	

OMB No. 2700-XXXX Exp. mm/dd/yyyy

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

CONFIDENTIAL CLOSE CALL REPORTING SYSTEM

NASA, through agreements with the Federal Railroad Administration, is
managing, operating, and accepting reports for the Railroad Confidential
Close Call Reporting System (C3RS). The C3RS is expected to identify
issues in the railroad system that could be addressed to provide
improvements in safety. Your assistance in informing us about such
issues is essential to the success of the project. Please fill out this form
as completely as possible. The paper form is pre-addressed and postage
paid. The C3RS website at http://c3rs.arc.nasa.gov provides two options:
download, complete form, print, enclose in a sealed envelope, affix proper
postage, and mail directly to us at address below OR submit your report
through a secure, electronic submission (ERS) process.
Thank you for your contribution to railroad safety.

The FRA has agreed through MOU’s with rail carriers that the reports filed
with NASA are prohibited from being used for FRA enforcement purposes.
This report will not be made available to the FRA for disciplinary actions
for violations. Your identity strip, date stamped by NASA, is proof that you
have submitted a report to the C3RS. We can only return the ID strip to
you if you have provided a mailing address. The information you provide
on the identity strip will be used only by NASA to contact you for further
information. We can often obtain additional useful information if our safety
analysts can talk with you directly by telephone. For this reason, we have
requested telephone numbers where we may reach you. THIS IDENTITY
STRIP WILL BE RETURNED BY MAIL DIRECTLY TO YOU. The return
of the identity strip assures your anonymity.

NOTE: TRAIN ACCIDENTS AND/OR CRIMINAL ACTS SHOULD NOT BE REPORTED ON THIS FORM.
SUCH EVENTS SHOULD BE FILED THROUGH APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement - This information collection meets the requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507, as amended by section 2 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. You do not need to answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management and Budget control number. The
OMB control number for this information collection is 2700-XXXX and it expires on mm/dd/yyyy. We estimate that it will take about 30 minutes to read the
instructions, gather the facts, and answer the questions. You may send comments on our time estimate above to: P.O. Box 189 Moffett Field, CA 94035-0189.
Send only comments relating to our time estimate to this address.

If you want to mail this form, please fold both pages (and additional pages if required), enclose in a sealed,
stamped envelope, and mail to:
