This Act then requires carriers to make PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4615 inspections and to repair defects to ensure the safe operation of steam locomotives. The collection of information is used by tourist or historic railroads and by locomotive owners/ operators to provide a record for each day a steam locomotive is placed in service, as well as a record that the required steam locomotive inspections are completed. The collection of information is also used by FRA Federal inspectors to verify that necessary safety inspections and tests have been completed and to ensure that steam locomotives are indeed ‘‘safe and suitable’’ for service and are properly operated and maintained.
