Abstract: The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) (Pub. L. 114–94, Dec. 4, 2015), Section 11405, “Bridge Inspection Reports,” provides a means for a State or a political subdivision of a State to obtain a public version of a bridge inspection report generated by a railroad for a bridge located within its respective jurisdiction. FRA developed a form titled “Bridge Inspection Report Public Version Request Form” (FRA F 6180.167) to facilitate such requests by States and their political subdivisions. Additionally, the collection of information set forth under 49 CFR part 237 normalized and established Federal requirements for railroad bridges. In particular, the collection of information is used by FRA to confirm that railroads/track owners adopt and implement bridge management programs to properly inspect, maintain, modify, and repair all bridges that carry trains for which they are responsible. Further, the collection of information set forth under 49 CFR 214.105(c) establishes standards and practices for safety net systems. The burden associated with § 214.105(c), formerly covered under OMB Control No. 2130-0535, is now combined with the burden under OMB Control No. 2130-0586.
