Statement of agency policy and interpretation.
Summary
Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers v. Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe R.R., all time spent awaiting the arrival of a deadhead vehicle for transportation to the point of final release, when no additional services are required of railroad carrier employees, shall be treated by FRA as time neither on nor off duty for purposes of the Federal hours of service laws (``HSL''), throughout the entire nation. FRA is amending its current interpretive statement to reflect this Supreme Court decision.
