Abstract:
The information collected is used by FRA to ensure that railroads/track owners adopt and implement bridge management programs as required by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and this regulation in order to properly inspect, maintain, modify, and repair all bridges that carry trains over them for which they are responsible. Additionally, as a result of Section 11405 of the FAST Act, FRA has developed a new Form (FRA F 6180.167) titled “Bridge Inspection Report Public Version Request Form”, which will be used by the agency to facilitate requests by States and their political subdivisions for these bridge inspection reports. FRA will use the information provided by States/their political subdivisions to identify the bridge (e.g., street name, waterway, other identifiable land feature, etc.) and the requester seeking a public version of the most recent bridge inspection report.. FRA will then require railroads to provide a public version of the requested report so that it can be sent to the State or political subdivision to be used by them to ascertain the status of that bridge and take any needed measures to continue to ensure public safety. The purpose of this non substantive change is the provided the updated FRA Form 6180.167, which now has the new/updated expiration date of 09/31/2019
