Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 222 / Tuesday, November 17, 2020 / Notices
close call events without fear of
discipline. Collecting data on the
nation’s transportation system is an
important component of BTS’ mission
and responsibility to the transportation
community as stated in its authorizing
statute (49 U.S.C. Sec. 6302). BTS and
WMATA/ATU, IBT Local 922 and
OPEIU Local 2, share a common interest
in promoting rail transit and bus safety
using timely, accurate, and relevant
data. WMATA/ATU, IBT Local 922 and
OPEIU Local 2, is sponsoring the
Confidential Close Call Program for
Transit Rail and Bus System to improve
transit rail and bus safety by studying
the effectiveness of its own systems
through the data and information
collected from reported close call
events.
Any situation or circumstance that
has the potential for safety
consequences, but did not result in an
adverse safety event is defined as a close
call. Knowledge about a close call
presents an opportunity to address
unsafe work conditions and practices,
prevent accidents, contribute to policy
making decisions and improve overall
safety in the workplace.
BTS collects close call reports
submitted by WMATA employees,
conducts employee interviews, develops
and maintains an analytical database
containing reported data and other
pertinent information, provides
statistical analysis to WMATA, and
protects the confidentiality of these data
through its own statute (49 U.S.C. Sec.
6302) and CIPSEA. Only statistical and
non-sensitive information will be made
available through publications and
reports.
Voluntary reporting of close calls to a
confidential system provides a tool to
identify and correct weaknesses within
WMATA and prevents accidents. Close
Call reporting fosters a voluntary,
cooperative, non-punitive environment
to communicate safety concerns for the
greater good. Through the analysis of
the data that is reported, WMATA
receives information about factors that
contribute to unsafe events, which
becomes the catalyst to develop new
training programs and identify root
causes of adverse events. The database
also provides researchers with valuable
information regarding precursors to
safety risks and contributes to research
and development of intervention
programs aimed at averting accidents
and fatalities.
Employees involved in reporting a
close call incident are asked to fill out
a report and participate in a brief,
confidential interview. Employees
submit the report electronically to BTS.
Participants will be asked to provide
information such as: (1) Name and
contact information; (2) time and
location of the event; (3) a short
description of the event; (4) contributing
factors to the close call; and (5) any
other information that might be useful
in determining a root cause of such
event.
III. Request for Public Comment
BTS requests comments on any
aspects of this information collection
request, including: (1) The accuracy of
the estimated burden of 150 hours
detailed in Section I; (2) ways to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(3) ways to minimize the collection
burden without reducing the quality of
the information collected, including
additional use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
