Public meetings on final rule.
Summary
On November 17, 1999, FRA published the final rule on inspection and maintenance of steam locomotives (64 FR 62828). The Inspection and Maintenance Standards for Steam Locomotives, title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 209 and 230, which took effect on January 18, 2000, sets forth new inspection and implementation requirements. FRA will hold public meetings to explain the implementation schedule and general requirements for inspection and maintenance of steam locomotives under the rule. These meetings will also provide interested parties with the opportunity to discuss the rule and ask questions of the presenters. All parties interested in the new rule on inspection and maintenance of steam locomotives are invited to attend these meetings.
