Certification of Dispatchers
OMB 2130-0637 ยท DOT/FRA.
OMB 2130-0637
FRA proposes to require railroads to develop programs for certifying individuals who perform dispatching tasks on their networks. Under this proposed rule, railroads would be required to have formal processes for training prospective dispatchers, as well as verifying that each dispatcher has the requisite knowledge, skills, safety record, and abilities to safely perform all of the safety-related dispatcher duties mandated by Federal laws and regulations, prior to certification. In addition, railroads would be required to have formal processes for revoking certification (either temporarily or permanently) for dispatchers who violate specified minimum requirements. This proposed information collection is mandatory, submitted to FRA as needed, and there is a requirement for reporting and recordkeeping.
The latest form for Certification of Dispatchers expires 2027-06-30 and is listed under ICR 202405-2130-001.
