SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 14, 1996, FRA published its NPRM on 
Roadway Worker Protection. The NPRM was the product of FRA's first 
negotiated rulemaking. Consistent with the Administrative Procedures 
Act (5 U.S.C. Sec. 553), FRA solicited and received comments on the 
proposed rule. In accordance with spirit of the Negotiated Rulemaking 
Act (5 U.S.C. Sec. 561 et seq.) FRA is allowing the Committee to 
consider these comments and make a recommendation to FRA regarding 
their status prior to issuing a Final Rule. FRA continues to believe 
that public participation is critical to the success of this process. 
This negotiating session will be open to the public, pursuant to the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463).
S. Mark Lindsey,
Chief Counsel, Federal Railroad Administration.
