Monetary Threshold for Reporting Rail Equipment Accidents/Incidents for Calendar Year 2018

Final rule.

FRA's accident/incident reporting regulations require railroads to report to the agency all rail equipment accidents/ incidents above the monetary reporting threshold (reporting threshold) for that calendar year (CY).
