49 CFR Part 228
[Docket No. FRA-2012-0101]
RIN 2130-AC41
Hours of Service Recordkeeping; Automated Recordkeeping;
Correction
AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 29, 2018, FRA published a final rule to reduce the
paperwork burden associated with compliance with Federal hours of
service laws and regulations. In preparing that final rule for
publication, a technical error was made as described in the
Supplementary Information. FRA is correcting this minor error so that
the final rule clearly conforms to FRA's intent.
DATES: Effective on September 17, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emily T. Prince, Attorney-Adviser,
Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590 (telephone 202-493-6146), [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule, FRA failed to include an
instruction amending 49 CFR 228.201 to include new paragraph (c). See
83 FR 43988. Paragraph (c) was discussed in the section-by-section
analysis and properly published as new rule text, but was not properly
included in an amendatory instruction. This correction remedies that
oversight to ensure that the codified text of the section matches the
text FRA intended.
