Camp Car Rules Compliance Audit Checklist

Compliance Audit Checklist for Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 228–Hours of 

Service of Railroad Employees; Recordkeeping and Reporting; Sleeping Quarters

Notes and Instructions

Inspectors should use this checklist and its guidance to conduct inspections of camp cars. See the Camp Car Rules Compliance 

Manual for additional information. 

To fill out the checklist, check each box in the “Part 228” column after the section is completed. Check appropriate boxes in the 

“Criteria” and “Complies” columns to indicate a “Yes” or “No” answer to the listed questions. Use the “Notes” area at the bottom of 

each page for any comments. 

Note: Some regulation sections contain multiple requirements. Where these elements are not part of a separately identified 

subsection, the matching defect codes are identified by a decimal (e.g., for elements of 228.309(d), the sub-elements are identified by

228.309.D1 and 228.309.D2). In some cases, the elements are divided into separate blocks of the checklist.
