The collection of information will be
used by FRA to rank individual railroads for scheduling bridge
program evaluations by FRA's Bridge Safety Staff. The data
collected will be analyzed against weighting factors, and railroads
will be prioritized according to the resulting scores.

USC 20103 Name of Law: Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970
This is a new collection of
information. Hence, there are no program changes or adjustments at
this time. **Concerning the answer to question number eight of the
attached Supporting Justification, please note that FRA ended up
publishing two 60-day Notices in the Federal Register. The first
one was published on June 18, 2008 (73 FR 34829). FRA received one
comment in response to this Notice (from the BMWED). However,
because the originating FRA program office had not completed the
required Supporting Justification within the original comment
period, FRA published a second Notice in the Federal Register on
October 2, 2008 (73 FR 57404). FRA received no comments in response
to this second Notice. The full comment from BMWED -- in response
to the first Notice -- is provided in answer to question number
eight of the Supporting Justification.
