Action
Extension of comment period.
Summary
FRA is extending the comment period on its notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the Freight Car Safety Standards. The NPRM proposed changing the provisions in 49 CFR Part 215, by making all maintenance- of-way vehicles subject to the Standards with the exception of stenciled cars not used in revenue service and restricted to a speed of less than 20 miles per hour. The extension is necessary to clarify initial comments received from interested parties.
