Title: U.S. DOT Crossing Inventory 

Form. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0017. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Form FRA F 6180.71 is a 

voluntary form, and is used by States 

and railroads to periodically update 

certain site specific highway-rail 

crossing information which is then 

transmitted to FRA for input into the 

National Inventory File. This 

information has been collected on the 

U.S. DOT–AAR Crossing Inventory 

Form (previous designation of this form) 

since 1974 and maintained in the 

National Inventory File database since 

1975. The primary purpose of the 

National Inventory File is to provide for 

the existence of a uniform database 

which can be merged with accidents 

data and used to analyze information for 

planning and implementation of 

crossing safety programs by public, 

private, and governmental agencies 

responsible for highway-rail crossing 

safety. Following the official 

establishment of the National Inventory 

in 1975, the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) assumed the 

principal responsibility as custodian for 

the maintenance and continued 

development of the U.S. DOT/AAR 

National Highway-Rail Crossing 

Inventory Program. The major goal of 

the Program is to provide Federal, State, 

and local governments, as well as the 

railroad industry, information for the 

improvement of safety at highway-rail 

crossings. Good management practices 

necessitate maintaining the database 

with current information. The data will 

continue to be useful only if maintained 

and updated as inventory changes 

occur. FRA previously cleared the 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this form under Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) Clearance Number 

2130–0017. OMB approved the burden 

for this form through August 31, 2009. 

FRA is requesting a new three year 

approval from OMB for this information 

collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Operators 

of gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon 

dioxide pipelines and operators of 

liquefied natural gas facilities must 

select and test a percentage of covered 

employees for random drug testing. 

Pursuant to 49 CFR 199.105(c)(2), (3), 

and (4), the PHMSA Administrator’s 

decision on whether to change the 

minimum annual random drug testing 

rate is based on the reported random 

drug test positive rate for the pipeline 

industry. The data considered by the 

Administrator comes from operators’ 

annual submissions of Management 

Information System (MIS) reports 

required by 49 CFR 199.119(a). If the 

reported random drug test positive rate 

is less than one percent, the 

Administrator may continue the 

minimum random drug testing rate at 25 

percent. In 2007, the random drug test 

positive rate was less than one percent. 

Therefore, the minimum random drug 

testing rate will remain at 25 percent for 

calendar year 2009. 

In reference to the notice published in 

70 FR 20800, PHMSA intends to publish 

an Advisory Bulletin specifying the 

methodology for reporting MIS 

contractor data to PHMSA. Therefore, 

operators must ensure records on 

contract employees continue to be 

maintained.
