Passenger Train Emergency Preparedness

OMB 2130-0545

Under 49 CFR part 239, FRA requires railroads to meet minimum Federal standards for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of emergency preparedness plans (EPP) connected with the operation of passenger trains, including freight railroads hosting passenger rail service operations. The information collected is necessary for compliance with the regulation and contributes to rail safety. Because of this information collection, FRA reviews and approves the EPPs of covered railroads. Consequently, it can ensure that railroads have comprehensive emergency preparedness plans. This information collection is mandatory, submitted as needed, and there is a requirement for record keeping.
