Daily inspections will detect and
correct equipment problems before they become the source of an
accident or incident resulting in personal injuries or damage to
property. FRA is proposing to improve the integrity of passenger
train exterior side door safety systems and promote passenger train
safety overall through new safety standards relating to the safe
operation and use of passenger train exterior side doors. This
proposed rule is intended to limit the number and severity of
injuries involving passenger train exterior side doors and enhance
the level of safety for passengers and train crewmembers.
The total number of burden
hours for this collection of information has increased by a total
of 4,912 hours from the last approved submission. The increase is
due to both program changes and adjustments. The two tables
included in the answer to question number 15 of the attached
Supporting Justification exhibit both the program changes and
adjustments. Program changes shown in the table increased the
burden by 3,832 hours and increased the number of responses by
28,705, while adjustments depicted in the table increased the
burden by 1,080 hours and increased the number of responses by
2,554 responses. The current burden in the OMB inventory shows a
total of 4,434,206 hours, while the present submission reflects a
total burden of 4,439,118 hours. Hence, there is an increase of
4,912 hours from the last approved submission. There is no change
in burden cost since the last submission. .
