Title: Miscellaneous Amendments to the Federal Railroad Administration's Accident/Incident Reporting Requirements 
Abstract: The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) proposes to amend its accident/incident reporting regulations to, among other things, conform certain definitions to those set forth in 49 U.S.C. 20102, as amended; incorporate provisions allowing for consolidated accident/incident reporting by integrated railroad systems; allow for the collection of suicide data; clarify ambiguous regulations, and enhance the quality of information available for railroad casualty analysis. In addition to proposing revisions to its regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), FRA is proposing revisions to its Guide for Preparing Accident/Incident Reports (FRA Guide) and to certain applicable forms.
