Survey of Plant and Insular Tourist Railroads Subject to FRA Bridge Safety Standards (49 CFR part 237)

The proposed collection of information is entirely voluntary. The proposed survey/study is intended to have any railroad serving a plant and moving railroad equipment over bridges within the plant, or the plant itself, to advise/notify FRA by e-mail (one-time report) that there are railroad bridges within the installation potentially subject to FRA Bridge Safety Standards. FRA is also requesting insular tourist railroads, whose tracks are supported by one or more bridges, to advise FRA by e-mail about these bridges. FRA seeks to identify plant and insular tourist railroads that may be subject to part 237 requirements, but are exempt from part 225 reporting requirements, to analyze the risks these entities may pose to railroad bridge safety and to aid in planning bridge safety oversight activities and allocating agency resources.
