OMB 2130-0500

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.

The latest form for Accident/Incident Reporting and Recordkeeping expires 2026-12-31 and can be found here.
