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
database 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.

Act)
This submission is a revision
to a current collection of information. The current OMB inventory
for this information collection shows a total burden of 30,284
hours and 88,176 responses, while the requesting inventory
estimates a total burden of 29,407 hours and 87,188 responses.
Overall, the burden for this submission has decreased by 8,77
hours, and the number of responses has decreased by 988. The
decrease in burden is a result of forms FRA F 6180.107 and FRA F
6180.150 being repealed in the NPRM. This reduction in burden is
solely the result of a program change. NOTE: The proposed changes
to Part 225 are being made in three separate NPRMs: RIN #s
2130-AD57; 2130-AD58; and 2130-AD59.
