The form is used forreporting all types of changes, especiallythe establishment of a new gradecrossing, closing of an existing gradecrossing, or changes in thecharacteristics of a grade crossing.

Event recordersare devices that record train speed, hotbox detection, throttle position, brakeapplication, brake operations, time andsignal indications, and any otherfunction that FRA considers necessaryto monitor the safety of train operations.Event recorders provide FRA withinformation about how trains areoperated and, if a train is involved in anaccident, the devices afford data to FRAand other investigators necessary todetermine the probable causes of theaccident.Under 49 CFR Part 229, railroads arerequired to conduct daily, periodic,annual, and biennial tests oflocomotives to measure the level ofcompliance with the Federalregulations. The collection ofinformation requires railroads toprepare written records indicating therepairs needed, the person making therepairs, and the type of repairs made.This information provides a locomotiveengineer with information that thelocomotive has been inspected and is inproper condition for use in service, andenables FRA to monitor compliancewith the regulatory standards.

Motorists losefaith in warning systems that constantlywarn of an oncoming train when noneis present. Therefore, the fail-safefeature of a warning system loses itseffectiveness if the system is notrepaired within a reasonable period oftime. A greater risk of an accident ispresent when a warning system fails toactivate as a train approaches a grade

FRAuses the information to develop bettersolutions to the problems of gradecrossing device malfunctions. With thisinformation, FRA is able to correlateaccident data and equipmentmalfunctions with the types of circuitsand age of equipment. FRA can thenidentify the causes of grade crossingsystem failures and investigate them todetermine whether periodicmaintenance, inspection, and testingstandards are effective. FRA also usesthe information collected to alertrailroad employees and appropriatehighway traffic authorities of warningsystem malfunctions and take necessarymeasures to protect motorists andrailroad employees at the grade crossinguntil repairs have been made.Form Number(s): FRA Form 6180.83.Affected Public: Businesses.Frequency of Submission: Onoccasion; recordkeeping.Reporting Burden:CFR SectionRespondent UniverseTotalResponsesAverage Time Per ResponseTotalBurdenHours234.7—Telephone notification605 RRs415 minutes1234.9—Grade crossing signal system failurereports620 RRS40015 minutes100Notification to train crew and highway trafficcontrol authority620 RRs40015 minutes100Recordkeeping620 RRs40015 minutes100Total Estimated Burden Hours: 301hours.Status: Regular Review.Title: Railroad Police <strong>Office</strong>rs.OMB Control Number: 2130–0537.Abstract: Under 49 CFR Part 207,railroads are required to notify states ofall designated railroad police officerswho are discharging their duties outsideof their respective jurisdictions.

Theprincipal information—evidence ofunauthorized alcohol or drug use—isused to prevent accidents by screeningpersonnel who perform safety-sensitiveservice. FRA uses the information tomeasure the level of compliance withregulations governing the use of alcoholor controlled substances. Elimination ofthis problem is necessary to preventaccidents, injuries, and fatalities of thenature already experienced and furtherreduce the risk of a truly catastrophicaccident.
