The information collected is used by railroads to provide protection for work crews while they are performing necessary maintenance and repair tasks on a particular segment or segments of track. The operator of the remotely controlled switch cannot remove the locking device unless they have been informed by the person in charge of the workers that it is safe to do so. The written notification is designed to complement the requirements for the handling of remotely-controlled switches by heightening attention to safety requirements. The written notification received by the operator serves as a record of protection provided under blue signal protection of workers. This information collection is mandatory, submitted as needed, and there is a requirement for recordkeeping.

The latest form for Remotely Controlled Switch Operations expires 2029-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202601-2130-003.
