Notice of hearing.
Summary
On March 14, FRA published its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Roadway Worker Protection (61 FR 10528), which was the product of the agency's first regulatory negotiation. FRA announced at that time that a public hearing would only be scheduled if it was requested, since the negotiated rulemaking process has already provided a significant opportunity for oral presentations and participation by the public. An expression of interest in having a hearing was submitted on behalf of one person whom we have not been able to identify or contact. However, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. Sec. 553 and 49 U.S.C. Sec. 20103(e), FRA is holding the requested hearing.
