SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by 
letter dated August 5, 2025, CSX petitioned FRA for an extension of a 
waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad 
safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 225 (Railroad Accidents/
Incidents: Reports Classification, and Investigations). FRA assigned 
the petition Docket Number FRA-2020-0028.
    CSX requests relief from 49 CFR 225.25(h), Recordkeeping, 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 
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
    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.

Privacy Act

    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.). 
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to inform 
its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit, including any 
personal information the commenter provides, to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>, as 
described in the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can 
be reviewed at <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/privacy">https://www.transportation.gov/privacy</a>. See also <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice">https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice</a> for the privacy notice of
