## Abstract

FRA's accident/incident reporting regulation requires railroads to report to FRA all rail equipment accidents/incidents above the monetary reporting threshold (reporting threshold) applicable to that calendar year. In this final rule, FRA amends this regulation to modify the way it calculates periodic adjustments to the reporting threshold and the way it communicates each calendar year's threshold to railroads. This final rule will improve the accuracy of accident/ incident data gathered from the railroads.
