The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration shall jointly ensure that any close call reporting system carried out by such Administrators provides for the following: Each report of a close call event made to such reporting system shall be confidential. An individual submitting a report to such system may include an audio or video file that was captured on the personal device of such individual.
Each report submitted to such system shall contain the location of the event, including, as applicable, the global positioning system coordinates of such event. A report with respect to any craft shall be eligible for submission to such system. The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or the Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration may take a remedial action or an action to improve safety, or require a railroad to take an action, based solely on a report or a subset of reports submitted to the system.
Each Class I railroad and Amtrak shall, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, enroll in the confidential close call reporting system for a period of 2 years.
