qualifying prospective and existing
conductors before issuing each person
certification or recertification. The
regulation is intended to ensure that
only those persons who meet minimum
Federal safety standards serve as
conductors.
FRA collects information to ensure
that railroads and their employees fully
comply with all the requirements of part
242, including a conductor certification/
recertification program, fitness
requirements, initial and periodic
testing, and territorial qualifications.

currently approved collection.
