Title: Certification of Glazing
Materials.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0525.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a previously approved
information collection.
Affected Public: 5 Manufacturers.
Abstract: The collection of
information is set forth under 49 CFR
Part 223, which requires the
certification and permanent marking of
glazing materials by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer is also responsible for
making available test verification data to
railroads and FRA upon request.
Form Number(s): N/A
Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 119
hours
Title: Use of Locomotive Horns at
Highway-Rail Grade Crossings
Title: Disqualification Proceedings
OMB Control Number: 2130–0529
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a previously approved
information collection
Affected Public: 40,000 Locomotive
Engineers
Abstract: Under 49 U.S.C. 20111(c),
FRA is authorized to issue orders
disqualifying railroad employees,
including supervisors, managers, and
other agents, from performing safetysensitive service in the rail industry for
violations of safety rules, regulations,
standards, orders, or laws evidencing
unfitness. FRA’s regulations, 49 CFR
Part 209, Subpart D, implement the
statutory provision by requiring (i) a
railroad employing or formerly
employing a disqualified individual to
disclose the terms and conditions of a
disqualification order to the individual’s
new or prospective employing railroad;
(ii) a railroad considering employing an
individual in a safety-sensitive position
to ask the individual’s previous
employing railroad whether the
individual is currently serving under a
disqualification order; and (iii) a
disqualified individual to inform his
new or prospective employer of the
disqualification order and provide a
copy of the same. Additionally, the
regulations prohibit a railroad from
employing a person serving under a
disqualification order to work in a
safety-sensitive position. This
information serves to inform a railroad
whether an employee or prospective
employee is currently disqualified from
performing safety-sensitive service
based on the issuance of a
disqualification order by FRA.
Furthermore, it prevents an individual
currently serving under a
disqualification order from retaining
and obtaining employment in a safetysensitive position in the rail industry.
