Rail Fixed Guideway Systems; State Safety Oversight (SSO)

This information collection (IC) request is an extension with a revision of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0558 “Rail Fixed Guideway Systems; State Safety Oversight (SSO).” The purpose of the State Safety Oversight program is to oversee safety throughout the Nation’s rail transit systems. The entities responding to this IC are States and rail transit agencies (RTAs). States must establish a safety oversight agency to oversee the safety of their rail transit agencies in their jurisdiction. The States and RTAs are required to provide FTA specific information to obtain and retain funding that will assist them in carrying out SSO activities. The information provided is reporting in nature and includes an annual report summarizing their program activity from the previous calendar year; pre-audit documents; periodic requests in the form of safety advisories issued by FTA due to a safety/accident related event; financial and milestone reports as part of the grant management process and the collection of incident reports as a result of a major safety event. This information is submitted electronically to FTA’s SSO program managers and incident investigators on an annual and as needed basis.
