Railroad regulators will stop listing paperwork requirements in their rules

The Federal Railroad Administration plans to remove 13 sections from its regulations. These sections currently list the specific paperwork requirements approved by the Office of Management and Budget.

This change removes a small, but persistent, administrative burden. Agencies often spend time updating these lists, even when the underlying paperwork requirements haven't changed. Removing these references means less time spent on bureaucratic housekeeping and more on actual rail safety.
