Action
Proposed rule; extension of comment period and notice of public hearing.
Summary
Under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 20103, 20143, and 20701, FRA will hold a public hearing in the format of a technical conference on November 28, 1995, in order to hear comments on the Locomotive Visibility Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). This NPRM, published on August 28, 1995, at 60 FR 44457, would change headlight regulations for locomotives by requiring two auxiliary lights that would be placed on the front of the locomotive to form a triangle with the headlight. FRA believes this arrangement will increase locomotive visibility and help reduce grade crossing accidents and trespasser injuries. The meeting will be open to any interested person who wishes to attend. The docket for this rulemaking will be immediately reopened for written comments. This extension will end and the comment period will close on December 12, 1995.
