FRA is proposing to revise its regulations governing brake inspections, tests, and equipment. The proposed changes include the incorporation of relief from various provisions provided in long-standing waivers related to single car air brake tests, end-of train devices, helper service, and brake maintenance. FRA is also proposing to extend the time that freight rail equipment can be “off-air” before requiring a new brake inspection. In addition, FRA is proposing various modifications to the existing brake related regulations for clarity and to remove outdated or unnecessary provisions. The proposed revisions would benefit railroads and the public by reducing unnecessary costs, creating consistency between U.S. and Canadian regulations, and incorporating the use of newer technologies demonstrated to maintain or increase safety. The proposed rule would reduce the overall regulatory burden on railroads. FRA will use the information collected under Part 232 to monitor and enforce railroad compliance with the rule's requirements. This information collection is mandatory, submitted as needed, and there is a requirement for recordkeeping.

This information collection request is a revision to the last approved submission. FRA is requesting a total burden of 578,268 hours and 5,608,433 responses. Overall, the burden for this submission has decreased by 501,977 hours and by 24,916,915 responses. The change in burden is due to program changes (an increase) and adjustments (a decrease). FRA provided a thorough review of this package and determined many of our initial figures were based on rough estimates. Additionally, we realized some of the estimates were double counted and others were outdated. Moreover, other estimates were not Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements, thus leading to the increased figures, which were decreased accordingly in this submission. Thus, our latest review has refined our estimates to be more accurate.
