FFRA-23-00107 2/13/2023 Completed FRA Accident/Incident Reporting Forms and recordings of any telephonic reports made in connection with the February 3, 2023, derailment of a 

Norfolk Southern train in or near East Palestine, Ohio. We specifically request all portions of any record responsive to the description above. If you withhold any 

record or any portion of a record as exempt, we specifically request the release of all segregable non-exempt portions. REQUEST FOR EXPEDITED PROCESSING 

We requested expedited processing for this request because our work as full-time journalists for Insider is “primarily engaged in disseminating information,” and 

there is “urgency to inform the public concerning actual or alleged Federal Government activity.” 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(6)(E)(v)(II). Specifically, the East Palestine 

derailment resulted in evacuation orders impacting hundreds of families. Even though evacuation orders have been lifted, residents of the vicinity of the crash 

have complained of nausea, headaches, and dead fish. Also, the Washington Post reported that the EPA and NTSB have not published a complete list of what 

the train is carrying. Further, Norfolk Southern has declined to comment on the crash and referred inquiries to the NTSB, which is estimated to take 18 to 24 

months to complete its investigation. In sum, shedding light on what Norfolk Southern has reported to the FRA regarding the facts of the crash would be an 

indispensable help to informing the public about a major disaster involving actual or alleged Federal Government activity. For these reasons, we are requesting 

Expedited Processing.
