Notice of proposed rulemaking; dates and locations of public hearings.
Summary
By notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on February 24, 1997 (62 FR 8330), FRA proposed a rule to require minimum Federal safety standards for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of emergency preparedness plans by railroads connected with the operation of passenger trains, including freight railroads hosting the operations of rail passenger service. In that notice, FRA announced that it would soon schedule two public hearings to allow interested parties the opportunity to comment on issues addressed in the NPRM.
