[Docket No. FRA-2004-17529; Notice No. 2]
RIN 2130-AB61


Inflation Adjustment of the Maximum and Minimum Civil Monetary 
Penalties for Violation of a Railroad Safety Law or Regulation; 
Corrections

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

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2004, FRA published a final rule, which increased 
the minimum and aggravated maximum civil monetary penalties it applies 
when assessing a civil penalty for a violation of railroad safety 
statutes and regulations under its authority. In preparing that final 
rule for publication, six minor typographical errors were made. These 
amendments correct the typographical errors published in the final 
rule.

DATES: The corrections to the final rule are effective on October 28, 
2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melissa L. Porter, Trial Attorney, 
Federal Railroad Administration, 1120 Vermont Avenue, NW., Mail Stop 
10, Washington, DC 20003, (202) 493-6034, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The errors included in the final rule 
published on May 28, 2004 (69 FR 30591) consisted of twice listing 
incorrect appendices to be amended (appendix A to part 221 instead of 
appendix C; and appendix A to part 241 instead of appendix B), 
inserting the incorrect monetary amount in one amendment (to part 235), 
and listing the incorrect section to be amended in (Sec.  231.11 
instead of Sec.  233.11) another amendment. All of the typographical 
errors were obvious from their context. FRA is correcting these minor 
errors so that the final rule clearly conforms to FRA's intent.
