The Locomotive Inspection Act requires
railroads to inspect, repair, and maintain locomotives and event
recorders so that they are safe, free from defects, and can be
placed in service without peril to life. Crashworthy locomotive
event recorders will provide FRA with verifiable factual
information about how trains are maintained and operated, and will
be used by FRA and State inspectors for Part 229 rule
enforcement.

The burden has increased by
1,343,104 hours. The increase in burden is due to both program
changes and adjustments. Overall, 10 program changes increased the
burden by 130,041 hours. Overall, adjustments increased the burden
by 1,213,063 hours. ***** Please see the answer to question 15 of
the Supporting Justification or the attached Supplelmentary
Supporting document for a detailed breakdown of program changes and
adjustments. The current burden OMB inventory for this information
collection shows a total of 863,951 hours, while the present
submission exhibits a burden total of 2,207,055 hours. Hence, there
is an overall burden increase of 1,343,104 hours. The cost to
respondents has increased by a total of $903 from the previous
submission. The increase is due to one adjustment ($630 for the
cost of 21,000 tags under § 229.9 not previously accounted for) and
program changes for tags under § 229.15 and §229.46 ($153 for 5,100
tags). Also, mailing costs for program changes under §229.311 ($100
for 20 written reports) and under Appendix F of Subpart E ($20 for
Fed Ex cost to send the required written report) amounted to $120.
(Note: The OMB inventory for this information collection
incorrectly lists the previous cost to respondents as $184,871
rather than the correct cost of $185,000 detailed in the last
approved submission. As a result, ROCIS fails to account for the
difference of $129 in its table and shows a change in cost to
respondents of $1,032 rather than the correct increase of
$903.)
