Locomotive Visibility; Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Public 
Hearing

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of 
Transportation.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period and notice of public 
hearing.

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

SUMMARY: Under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 20103, 20143, and 20701, FRA 
will hold a public hearing in the format of a technical conference on 
November 28, 1995, in order to hear comments on the Locomotive 
Visibility Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). This NPRM, published 
on August 28, 1995, at 60 FR 44457, would change headlight regulations 
for locomotives by requiring two auxiliary lights that would be placed 
on the front of the locomotive to form a triangle with the headlight. 
FRA believes this arrangement will increase locomotive visibility and 
help reduce grade crossing accidents and trespasser injuries. The 
meeting will be open to any interested person who wishes to attend.
