Summary

The Federal Railroad Administration is proposing to stop using two outdated forms (FRA F 6180.107 and FRA F 6180.150) that railroads currently use to report safety and operational information. This change aims to simplify paperwork requirements for railroad companies and modernize how the government collects safety data.

Key Points

  • 1The FRA wants to retire two forms that railroads have been required to fill out and submit for safety and operational reporting
  • 2Retiring these forms is meant to reduce paperwork burden on railroad companies while maintaining safety oversight
  • 3The public has until September 3, 2025 to submit comments on whether this is a good idea
  • 4If approved, railroads would no longer need to complete these specific forms, though they may need to report the same information through other methods
  • 5This is a proposed rule, meaning it's not final yet and could change based on public feedback
