Abstract:
The information to be collected under this proposed rule will be used by FRA to ensure that 40 States and the District of Columbia develop and implement highway-rail grade crossing action plans—as mandated by section 11401 of the FAST Act—to reduce/eliminate the number of accidents/incidents that occur at public and private grade crossings in their States. This collection of information will also be used by FRA to make sure that the initial 10 States—specified by section 202 of the RSIA and FRA’s implementing regulation at 49 CFR 234.11—with the most reported highway-rail grade crossing accidents/incidents at public and private grade crossings during the three-period from 2006 to 2008 update their highway-rail grade crossing action plans and submit reports to FRA describing the actions that they have taken to implement their plans and addressing how each State will continue to reduce highway-rail grade crossing safety risks. This information collection is mandatory.
