Download as PDF 67434 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 188 / Friday, September 29, 2023 / Notices updated rules and procedures, if implemented. In addition, this safety advisory recommends that railroads and contractors conduct additional safety briefings to raise workers’ awareness of the hazards associated with operating and working around RMMs. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: YuJiang Zhang, Staff Director, Track and Structures Division, Office of Railroad Safety, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590, telephone (202) 493–6460. Disclaimer: This Safety Advisory is considered guidance pursuant to DOT Order 2100.6A (June 7, 2021). Except when referencing laws, regulations, policies, or orders, the information in this Safety Advisory does not have the force and effect of law and is not meant to bind the public in any way. This document does not revise or replace any previously issued guidance. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Background FRA is concerned about the incidents in the past few years resulting in fatalities of two roadway workers struck by RMMs on main line track. Information regarding these incidents, discussed below, is based on FRA’s preliminary findings and the respective railroad’s latest reporting. This safety advisory is not intended to attribute a cause to these incidents or place responsibility for these incidents on the acts or omissions of any person or entity. The following is a summary of the circumstances involved in the incidents: In August 2023, an RMM struck and fatally injured a contractor working on the Housatonic Railroad Company’s main line. FRA’s preliminary investigation shows that at the time of his injury, the contractor was part of a four-person work group. The work group consisted of two machine operators (each operating an RMM) and two roadway workers (each working on one of the RMMs). Before the incident, one of the RMMs (RMM–1) left the work area and traveled south to conduct repairs. While waiting for RMM–1 to return, the remaining two roadway workers on the other RMM (RMM–2), including the worker who was subsequently fatally injured, dismounted RMM–2 to clear ballast away from the tie plates in preparation for the drilling and lag screw installation. One roadway worker used his hands to remove the ballast, while the other used a backpack blower. When RMM–1 returned to the work site, the worker using the backpack blower did not clear the track and was struck VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:46 Sep 28, 2023 Jkt 259001 by RMM–1 when he did not respond to its approach. In December 2021, a contractor working on the Norfolk Southern (NS) was fatally injured when struck by an RMM while working on the main line. The contractor was working with an NS rail gang and was marking rail for pickup and had started walking in the gauge of the track when the machine operator of the RMM made a backup move. The machine operator did not see the contractor walking in the gauge of the track and struck the contractor. These incidents represent the worstcase scenario that can occur when roadway workers are working on or near RMMs. These incidents highlight the need for railroads to examine their rules and procedures for protecting roadway workers who operate or work near RMMs. Recommendations In light of the above discussion, FRA recommends that railroads and railroad contractors: 1. Review, update, and communicate applicable rules and procedures related to the operation of RMMs to ensure the safety of roadway workers who operate and work with or around the machines. 2. Increase monitoring of roadway workers, railroad employees, and contractors for compliance with all existing applicable rules and procedures (and any updated rules and procedures to result from paragraph (1)), particularly those involving the operation of RMMs and roadway workers working on and in the vicinity of RMMs. 3. Conduct additional safety briefings to raise workers’ awareness of the hazards associated with operating and working around RMMs. FRA encourages all railroad industry members to take actions consistent with the recommendations of this Safety Advisory. FRA may modify this Safety Advisory, issue additional safety advisories, or take other appropriate action necessary to ensure the highest level of safety on the Nation’s railroads, including pursuing other corrective measures under its rail safety authority.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2105–0529. Title: Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs. Form Numbers: DOT F 1385; DOT F 1380. Type of Review: Clearance of a renewal of an information collection. Background: Under the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991, DOT is required to implement a drug and alcohol testing program in various transportation related industries. This specific requirement is elaborated in 49 CFR part 40, Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs (part 40). This request for a renewal of the information collection for the program includes 45 burden items related to the overall program and 2 official DOT forms: the U.S. Department of Transportation Alcohol Testing Form (ATF) [DOT F 1380] and the DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Management Information System (MIS) Data Collection Form [DOT F 1385]. The ATF includes the employee’s name, the type of test taken, the date of the test, and the name of the employer. Data on each test conducted, including test results, is necessary to document that the tests were conducted and is used to take action, when required, to ensure safety in the workplace. The MIS form includes employer specific drug and alcohol testing information such as the reason for the test and the cumulative number of test results for the negative, positive, and refusal tests. No employee specific data is collected. The MIS data is used by each of the affected DOT Agencies (i.e., Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) and the United States Coast Guard when calculating their industry’s annual random drug and/or alcohol testing rate. On May 2, 2023, Part 40 was amended to include oral fluid testing as an additional methodology for drug testing that gives employers a choice that will help combat employee cheating on urine drug tests and provide a less intrusive means of achieving the safety Number of respondents lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 PRA item Exemptions from Regulation Provisions Requests [40.7(a)] Employer Stand-down Waiver Requests [40.21(b)] ............

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0529.
    Title: Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol 
Testing Programs.
    Form Numbers: DOT F 1385; DOT F 1380.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a renewal of an information 
collection.
    Background: Under the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act 
of 1991, DOT is required to implement a drug and alcohol testing 
program in various transportation related industries. This specific 
requirement is elaborated in 49 CFR part 40, Procedures for 
Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs (part 40). 
This request for a renewal of the information collection for the 
program includes 45 burden items related to the overall program and 2 
official DOT forms: the U.S. Department of Transportation Alcohol 
Testing Form (ATF) [DOT F 1380] and the DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing 
Management Information System (MIS) Data Collection Form [DOT F 1385].
    The ATF includes the employee's name, the type of test taken, the 
date of the test, and the name of the employer. Data on each test 
conducted, including test results, is necessary to document that the 
tests were conducted and is used to take action, when required, to 
ensure safety in the workplace. The MIS form includes employer specific 
drug and alcohol testing information such as the reason for the test 
and the cumulative number of test results for the negative, positive, 
and refusal tests. No employee specific data is collected. The MIS data 
is used by each of the affected DOT Agencies (i.e., Federal Aviation 
Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Federal Railroad 
Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and the 
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) and the United 
States Coast Guard when calculating their industry's annual random drug 
and/or alcohol testing rate.
    On May 2, 2023, Part 40 was amended to include oral fluid testing 
as an additional methodology for drug testing that gives employers a 
choice that will help combat employee cheating on urine drug tests and 
provide a less intrusive means of achieving the safety goals of the 
program [88 FR 27596]. As a result of the rule to include oral fluid 
testing as an additional methodology for drug testing, two new burden 
items have been added to this collection: (1) Oral Fluid Collector 
(Qualification and Refresher) Training Documentation [Sec.  40.35(b) & 
(e)]; and (2) Oral Fluid Collector Error Correction Training 
Documentation [Sec.  40.35(f)]. These new burden items are analogous to 
the existing burden items for urine collectors and screening test 
technicians and breath alcohol technicians.
    Also as a result of the May 2023 rule to include oral fluid as an 
additional methodology for drug testing, DOT will request OMB approval 
for a revision of the MIS Data Collection Form to facilitate the 
collection of oral fluid testing data from employers. Specifically, in 
Section III of the form, ``Drug Testing Data,'' DOT will add additional 
rows under each ``Type of Test'' (e.g., Pre-Employment, Random, Post-
Accident, Reasonable Suspicion/Cause, Return-to-Duty, Follow-Up, and 
Total) for employers to enter the number of urine tests, the number of 
oral fluid tests, and the number of total tests conducted.
    Respondents: The information will be collected from transportation 
employers, Department representatives, and a variety of service agents. 
Estimated total number of respondents is 1,426,662.
    Frequency: The information will be collected annually.
    Estimated Total Number Burden Hours: 1,469,136.
