PART 225_RAILROAD ACCIDENTS/INCIDENTS: REPORTS CLASSIFICATION, AND 

INVESTIGATIONS--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 225.13  Late reports.



    Whenever a railroad discovers that a report of an accident/incident, 

through mistake or otherwise, has been improperly omitted from or 

improperly reported on its regular monthly accident/incident report, a 

report covering this accident/incident together with a letter of 

explanation must be submitted immediately. Whenever a railroad receives 

a partially or fully completed Employee Statement Supplementing Railroad 

Accident Report (part II of Form FRA F 6180.78), in response to a Notice 

to Railroad Employee (part I of



[[Page 353]]



Form FRA F 6180.78) issued by the railroad and mailed or hand delivered 

to the employee, the railroad must promptly review that Supplement; 

based on that review, reassess the accuracy and validity of the 

railroad's Rail Equipment Accident/Incident Report and of any other 

reports and records required by this part concerning the same accident, 

including the Employee Human Factor Attachment; make all justified 

revisions to each of those reports and records; submit any amended 

reports to FRA; and submit a copy of any amended Rail Equipment 

Accident/Incident Report, Employee Human Factor Attachment, and Highway-

Rail Grade Crossing Accident/Incident Report on the accident to the 

employee. A second notice under Sec. 225.12 is not required for the 

employee. If an employee who was never sent a notice under Sec. 225.12 

for that accident is implicated in the revised Employee Human Factor 

Attachment, the railroad must follow the procedures of Sec. 225.12(d).
