The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating this safety event, focusing on the pressed wheel/ axle interface and widening wheel gauge on wheels and axles. In accordance with 49 CFR part 674, SSOAs are responsible for overseeing the safety of the rail fixed guideway public transportation systems (RTAs) within their State. Each SSOA has investigative and enforcement authority with respect to the safety of all RTAs within their State (§ 674.13(a)(5)).

FTA seeks to collect this information as a periodic request for information under OMB control number 2132–0558. Equipment subject to Federal Railroad Administration safety oversight is excluded from this reporting requirement. Recommended Action FTA advises the SSOA to direct each RTA in its jurisdiction to conduct a wheel gauge inspection of its rail transit fleet in revenue service, which may include inspections conducted on or after October 1, 2021. Within 60 days of November 1, 2021, the SSOA should submit to FTA, for the rail transit fleet in revenue service at each RTA in its jurisdiction: • The time frame during which these inspections were conducted (starting no earlier than October 1, 2021); • The total number of revenue service vehicles inspected; and • The total number of revenue service vehicles that failed wheel gauge E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM 01NON1
