Accident/Incident Reporting Requirements

This document responds to petitions for reconsideration related to FRA's November 9, 2010, final rule revising FRA's regulations addressing accident/incident reporting and recording, the FRA Guide for Preparing Accident/Incident Reports (FRA Guide), its accident/incident recording and reporting forms in addition to its Companion Guide: Guidelines for Submitting Accident/Incident Reports by Alternative Methods (Companion Guide). The final rule, which becomes effective June 1, 2011, was intended to clarify ambiguous regulations and to enhance the quality of information available for railroad casualty analysis. This document amends and clarifies the final rule based on FRA's review of the petitions for reconsideration and in order to make necessary technical and clarifying changes.
