Conductor Certification

OMB 2130-0596 · DOT/FRA.

OMB 2130-0596

This information collection is used by FRA to monitor regulatory compliance with 49 CFR Part 242. Specifically, FRA uses the collection of information to ensure that railroads adopt and implement a formal program for certifying conductors so that only qualified persons serve as railroad conductors and passenger conductors in order to enhance the safety of daily railroad operations. The information collected will also be used to verify that railroads establish a formal program for training prospective and experienced conductors in order to determine that these individuals are competent before permitting them to serve in these safety-sensitive positions. This collection of information is mandatory and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The collection frequency of the required information occurs on an annual basis as well as an occasional basis.

The latest form for Conductor Certification expires 2027-10-31 and is listed under ICR 202402-2130-002.
