Abstract:
The information collected is used by railroad workers to improve roadway worker safety and prevent accidents/incidents caused by the operation of on-track roadway maintenance machines. Form FRA F 6180.119 is used by FRA/State inspectors to cite rule violations of Part 214 and to recommend civil penalties for serious infractions. On June 10, 2016, FRA amended its Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) regulation to resolve interpretative issues that have arisen since the 1996 promulgation of that rule. In particular, this final rule adopted certain terms, resolved miscellaneous interpretive issues, codified certain FRA Technical Bulletins, adopted new requirements governing redundant signal protections and the movement of roadway maintenance machinery over signalized non-controlled track, and amended certain qualification requirements for roadway workers. See 81 FR 37840.

Short Statement:
The total burden for this information collection has decreased by 858,164 hours and by 24,971,709 responses from the last approved submission. The decrease in burden is due solely adjustments, which are delineated in the table provided in the answer to question number 15 of the attached Supporting Justification. Adjustments shown in the table provided decreased the burden by 858,164 hours and by 24,971,709 responses. Currently, the OMB inventory for this collection of information shows a burden total of 864,523 hours and 25,078,191 responses, while this updated submission reflects a total burden of 6,359 hours and 106,482 responses. Hence, there is a total burden decrease of 858,164 hours and 24,971,709 responses. The cost to respondents has decreased by $795 from the last approved submission. The change in cost is a result of two adjustments: The first in the estimated number of letters/documents that respondents will send to FRA (from 60 letters/documents @ $5 ea. to 1 letter /document @ $5 each; from $300 to $5, a decrease of $295), and the second in the estimated number of new railroads (from 15 railroad to 5 railroads) that will incur printing/other related expenses for required program manuals for employees at $50 per manual (from $750 to $250, a decrease of $500). This revised estimate changed the cost from $201,050 to $200,255 and accounts for the decrease in cost of $795.
