The information collected under 49 CFR parts 233, 235, and 236 is used by FRA to monitor railroad compliance with FRAâs inspection and testing requirements for signal systems, as well as to review and approve railroad requests to discontinue or materially modify existing signal systems. The information collected is also used by FRA to monitor signal failures (e.g., failure of a signal appliance, device, method, or system to function or indicate as required by 49 CFR part 236 that results in a more favorable aspect than intended or other condition hazardous to the movement of a train). This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed, and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
