Program and with law enforcement
agencies.
FRA will use the information
collected under the form to identify
problem areas and take necessary action
to prevent potential accidents of the
type indicated by the information
submitted from occurring.
FRA’s proposed revisions to the form
include: (1) Adding several dropdown
menus for form elements (e.g., type,
title, preferred method of contact,
position, category of submission, date,
time, city, State, and entity involved) so
that users can quickly provide complete
contact and incident information while
having to hand-enter less information;
(2) adding a question requesting the
users identify if they are members of the
public, a railroad employee, or other;
and (3) informing users that they will
receive an automated response from
FRA after the form is submitted. The
revisions are designed to make the
existing form easier to use and more
understandable, and to simplify the
collection of information. If users elect
to provide any identifying information,
it will be protected to the extent allowed
under Federal law and FRA will only
use this identifying information to
follow up with users regarding their
submissions. The revised form will
ensure that users provide the necessary
information so that FRA staff can review
and respond more quickly. The revised
form also will facilitate FRA’s ability to
maintain the data collected in a more
useful and uniform manner, as the new
dropdown boxes will assist FRA in
receiving more standardized responses.
