field that provides verifiable 

information about how many trespass 

deaths are accidental versus intentional. 

Therefore, there are no verifiable 

measures of the extent of rail-related 

suicides in this country. While railroad 

companies must report trespass 

incidents resulting in serious injury or 

death to the U.S. Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), injuries or deaths 

that are ruled by a medical examiner or 

coroner to be intentional are not 

reported. Preliminary figures from 2006 

indicate there were approximately 500 

deaths and 360 injuries reported to 

FRA—an increase of 100 incidents over 

the previous year—but suicides are not 

represented in these numbers. 

Unverifiable estimates from a number of 

sources range from 150 to more than 300 

suicides per year on the U.S. railways. 

Like any other incident on the rail 

system, a suicide on the tracks results in 

equipment and facility damage, delays 

to train schedules, and trauma to 

railroad personnel involved in the 

incidents. As a result, FRA last year 

awarded a grant for the first phase of a 

five-year project to reduce suicides on 

the rail system to the Railroad Research 

Foundation (part of the Association of 

American Railroads) and its 

subcontractor, the American 

Association of Suicidology (AAS). In the 

course of the five-year project, the 

research project’s goals include: (i) A 

prevalence assessment to determine 

verifiable numbers of suicides on the 

rail system; (ii) Development of a 

standardized reporting tool for industry 

use; (iii) A causal analysis and root 

cause analysis of suicide incidents that 

occur during the grant cycle; and (iv) 

Design and implementation of suicide 

prevention measures for the nation’s rail 

system to reduce suicide injuries and 

deaths. AAS is also receiving a grant 

from the Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA) to study suicides on commuter 

rail lines throughout the country. 

Consequently, AAS has expanded its 

study to include commuter lines as 

well, and will be using the same 

collection instruments once they are 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget. 

This collection of information 

pertains to Phase II of the project, the 

causal analysis. In order to understand 

as much as possible about people who 

intend to die by placing themselves in 

the path of a train and, therefore, to 

design prevention strategies, AAS 

intends to conduct 70 psychological 

autopsies over the course of two years 

on people who die by rail-related 

suicide. Psychological autopsy is a 

recognized and accepted method for 

obtaining information about physical, 

emotional, and circumstantial 

contributors to a person’s death. The 70 

psychological autopsies proposed for 

the FRA and FTA projects will involve 

interviews with witnesses to these 

incidents—rail and commuter personnel 

and members of the public—as well as 

family members, friends, employers, 

and co-workers. After conducting a root 

cause analysis of this data, AAS will 

then work with the industry to design, 

pilot test, and implement effective 

countermeasures with the goal of 

reducing deaths, injuries, and 

psychological trauma.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces the Maritime 

Administration’s (MARAD) intention to 

request the Office of Management and 

Budget’s (OMB) approval for a new

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of 

Collection: MARAD Maritime Operator 

Survey Concerning Mariner 

Availability. 

Type of Request: New Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2133—New. 

Form Numbers: MA–1048. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Three 

years from date of approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget. 

Summary of Collection of 

Information: Part of the stated statutory 

policy of the Merchant Marine Act, 

1936, is to foster the development and 

maintenance of an adequate U.S.-flag 

merchant marine manned with trained 

and efficient citizen personnel. In order 

to successfully meet this mandate, 

MARAD must determine whether a 

current or projected shortage of 

mariners exists and if there is an 

operational or business impact on the 

merchant marine. MARAD believe that 

a brief preliminary survey is necessary 

at this time because it has received an 

abundance of anecdotal information 

indicating that there is a serious existing 

and projected mariner shortage in 

different market sectors. If the 

preliminary survey indicates that there 

is a projected shortage that appears to be 

more than short-term, MARAD will 

follow-up with a more detailed survey 

to analyze the shortage and ascertain the 

best means to address it. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

new data collection will rely on a 

written survey and telephone follow-up. 

The survey will request the respondents 

to provide information such as: (1) 

Future plans to hire mariners; (2) past 

difficulty in hiring mariners; (3) 

expectations of future difficulty in 

hiring mariners; (4) impact on business 

operations and plans; and (5) 

suggestions for solutions. 

Description of Respondents: The 

target population for the survey will be 

approximately 100 vessel operating 

companies representing different sectors 

of the U.S. maritime industry. 

Annual Responses: 100. 

Annual Burden: 33.34 hours. 

Comments: Comments should refer to
