SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    On October 30, 2023, FTA published in the Federal Register (Docket 
No. FTA-2023-0018, 88 FR 74107) an Advance Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking public input in two areas: (1) hours of 
service; and (2) fatigue risk management programs. At present, there 
are no Federal minimum standards for hours of service and fatigue risk 
management programs in the transit industry. FTA held an in-person 
listening session on October 8, 2023, in Orlando, Florida. The virtual 
listening session will allow additional interested persons to present 
comments, views, and relevant research on those topics. FTA seeks 
information to better understand current industry practices, 
priorities, requirements, and the costs and benefits of Federal 
requirements.

II. Meeting Participation

    The listening session is open to the public.

III. Registration

    The session will be held virtually. Interested parties should 
register in advance at https://usdot.zoomgov.com/j/1608968545?pwd=c0tVNlJ3OTRPUmxYTHN4STFZczNYQT09.
