AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA); DOT.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Railroad Administration is announcing an 
additional meeting of the Advisory Committee on Regulatory negotiation 
(concerning the protection of railroad employees who work on or 
adjacent to track and face the risk of injury from moving trains and 
equipment).

DATES: The Advisory Committee (Committee) will hold an additional 
meeting on the following dates:

1. Tuesday, May 16, 1995.
2. Wednesday May 17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the 6th floor Conference room at 
the headquarters of the Association of American Railroads (AAR). The 
AAR's headquarters is located at 500 F Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cynthia B. Walters, Trial Attorney, 
Office of Chief Counsel, FRA 400 7th Street, SW, Room 8201, Washington, 
D.C. 20590 (Telephone: 202-366-0443).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 17, 1994 FRA published a notice of 
intent to establish an Advisory Committee (59 FR 42200). FRA also 
published a notice establishing this Committee on January 5, 1995 (60 
FR 1761), as well as publishing a notice of scheduled meetings on 
February 15, 1995 (60 FR 8619). Consistent with these notices, the 
continued objective of this Committee is to produce a report, including 
a draft notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) recommending a course of 
action for FRA to follow that will prevent roadway worker injuries and 
fatalities.
    The committee members, facilitators, and FRA determined that an 
additional meeting was needed to resolve pending issues. With this in 
mind, FRA continues to believe that public participation is critical to 
the success of this process. This negotiation session will also be open 
to the public, in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committe Act 
(Pub. L. 92-463).

    Issued this 2nd day of May, 1995.
