Train Crew Size Safety Requirements Update

Two for One

You may remember back in August when we told you about the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) published in the Federal Register over Railroad Staffing Requirements. Originally the comment period was set to close on September 26, 2022, however on October 27, 2022, the FRA published an announcement of public hearing and extension of the comment period. In this extension, the FRA extended the comment period 86 days from the original comment period and set a public hearing for December 14, 2022 from 9:30 a.m. (ET) to 4 p.m. (ET). The comment period is now extended to December 21, 2022. It should also be noted that in their October update it contained a mis-formatted web address which they corrected and can be viewed HERE.
