SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Transportation system of 

records notice subject to the Privacy Act 

of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, has 

been published in the Federal Register 

and is available from the above 

mentioned address. 

SYSTEM NUMBER: DOT/ALL 21 

SYSTEM NAME: 

Close Call Confidentiality Reporting 

System (C3RS). 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified, sensitive. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

The system is housed on a standalone desktop in the C3RS secure room 

located in room E36–311 at the Bureau 

of Transportation Statistics, United 

States Department of Transportation, 

1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, 

DC 20590. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM OF RECORDS: 

Railroad employees who report close 

calls to BTS, either by telephone or 

mail, as part of a five-year 

demonstration/research project are 

covered by this system of records. These 

individuals are employees of three rail 

carriers participating in the C3RS 

demonstration project. The rail carriers 

are: Union Pacific Railroad, Canadian 

Pacific Railroad, and New Jersey 

Transit. 

The C3RS demonstration project is a 

research effort to improve safety by 

using information from close call events 

to prevent serious accidents in the rail 

industry. A close call or near miss is an 

unsafe event with the potential for a 

more serious incident resulting in 

greater injury to personnel or damage to 

equipment above FRA’s reportable 

threshold level. 

Employees can report about a near 

miss event that happened to their crew 

or an event they witnessed about 

another crew (third party reporting). In 

the case of third party reporting, the 

employee does not provide any PII 

information on those involved in the 

reported close call. Reporting employees 

are not allowed to make anonymous 

close call reports. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records in the C3RS system contain 

information pertinent to an actual close 

call event submitted to BTS in a C3RS 

report. The following PII data elements 

are included in every C3RS report 

accepted into the system: The reporting 

employee’s name, age, job classification, 

home address, and home and mobile 

telephone number(s) (if available). 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU), which was 

enacted August 10, 2005 as Public Law 

109–59. 

PURPOSES: 

The C3RS collects name, home 

address, and telephone number(s) of 

railroad employees reporting close calls 

events to BTS. Qualified BTS/C3RS staff 

will use the contact information as 

follows: 

• The employee’s name and home 

telephone number will be used to 

generate and give the employee his/her 

unique confirmation number, upon 

receiving the employee’s close call 

phone message; 

• The employee’s name and home 

telephone number will be used to notify 

the employee that BTS has received the 

employee’s C3RS report and to schedule 

an interview time with the employee for 

further discussion of the close call 

incident; 

• The employee’s name and home 

telephone number will be used to 

initiate the close call interview; 

• The employee’s name and home 

address will be used to create and mail 

out a confirmation/rejection letter 

notifying the employee about the status 

of his/her close call report; and 

• The employee’s job classification 

will be used to understand the 

employee’s role in the close call 

incident. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

BTS does not share PII information 

collected for the C3RS study with other 

entities. A primary goal of the C3RS is 

to protect the identity of any employee 

who reports a close call incident to BTS. 

Reports collected and maintained in the 

C3RS are protected from disclosure as 

provided in the BTS confidentiality 

statute (49 U.S.C. 111(k)) and the 

Confidential Information Protection and 

Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 

2002. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

The C3RS Demonstration Project 

stores all data in an electronic database 

in a stand-alone desktop computer 

attached to a non-network printer. The 

computer and printer are in a secure 

data collection room. Hard-copy 

documents (work papers) are stored in 

the secure room and shredded after 

project completion. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrieved from the C3RS 

database by confirmation number, 

which uniquely identifies individual 

reports and by employee identification 

numbers. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All the information BTS obtains, 

including the PII data, is kept in a 

secure room in the Department of 

Transportation Headquarters building in 

Washington, DC. Only members of the 

C3RS team who have taken 

confidentiality training and signed a 

non-disclosure agreement have access to 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 74 / Monday, April 19, 2010 / Notices 20421 

the secure room. The door of the secure 

room is kept closed during work hours 

and kept locked when the room is not 

in use. The stand-alone workstation that 

contains the database is password 

protected. All paper working documents 

are stored in the secure room and 

shredded immediately after case 

completion. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The C3RS project is a five-year 

research/feasibility study subject to 

availability of funds. BTS will retain the 

entire C3RS database for up to ten years 

after completion of the project (i.e., up 

to fifteen years total). The system is 

currently unscheduled; pending 

approval of a retention schedule by the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA), the records 

must be kept indefinitely. The retention 

periods that will be proposed to NARA 

are as follows: upon project completion, 

all PII data fields will be destroyed, and 

all non-PII data will be retired to the 

Federal Records Center (FRC). The nonPII data will be destroyed 10 years after 

completion of the study. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS: 

C3RS Data Collection Officer, Bureau 

of Transportation Statistics, Research & 

Innovative Technology Administration, 

Department of Transportation, 1200
