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 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).
