FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2020-0028. CSX requests relief from 49 CFR 225.25(h), <E T="03">Recordkeeping,</E> to continue using electronic, instead of physical, methods for posting its monthly listing of all injuries and occupational illnesses. In its petition, CSX explains that the information is available on its secure web portal called the Gateway, which employees can access through company computer terminals, home computers, and personal electronic devices. In support of its petition, CSX states that its digital resource offers an equivalent level of compliance, as the listing may be reviewed at any time and from any location. CSX notes that it will “post clear instructions on safety bulletin boards at each establishment, guiding employees to the electronic log.” Employees are trained on how to access and use the Gateway system, and they can request a hard copy of the posting. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at <E T="03">www.regulations.gov</E> . Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for their request. Communications received by October 17, 2025 will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be considered if practicable. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Privacy Act</HD> Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications and comments received into any of FRA's dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
