Action
Final rule; response to petitions for reconsideration.
Summary
On December 16, 1996, FRA published its Final Rule on Roadway Worker Protection (61 FR 65959), which was the product of the agency's first regulatory negotiation. This rule promulgates standards to protect roadway workers while working on or near railroad tracks. In this document, FRA responds to concerns raised by two parties in petitions for reconsideration of the final rule.
