Changes to highway-rail crossings should be reported to the Commission within 30 days after the end of the month the changes were made. The report should be made using Commission Standard Form G, titled "Report of Changes at Highway Grade Crossings and Separations".
Form G's should include the following information:
- Under the "Crossing No." column, the Commission assigned crossing number. Even though the U.S. DOT assigned number is not required, however also providing this number will help us identify crossings in case there is an error with the reported Commission assigned number;
- Under the "County" column, the county where the crossing is located;
- Under the "Nature of Change and Reference to Public Authority" column, the street name, the number and the type of warning devices installed or removed identified by standard warning device numbers as listed in Commission's General Order 75-D. Either the Commission Decision and Application numbers authorizing changes or reference to GO-88-B letter authorizing changes (if applicable). Information in this column should also include other changes made including but not limited to type of crossing material, installation of constant-time warning devices, and if Section 130 funds were used for the upgrade.
- Under "Date Effective" column, the month, day, and year the changes were made effective.
The Form G can be submitted either electronically or by mailing a paper copy.
