FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION ISSUES RULE: ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATES TO THE FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION'S STATE SAFETY PARTICIPATION REGULATIONS

WASHINGTON, April 28 -- Federal Railroad Administration has issued a rule called: Administrative Updates to the Federal Railroad Administration's State Safety Participation Regulations.

The rule was published in the Federal Register on April 28 by David A. Fink, Administrator.

Summary: On July 1, 2025, FRA published a final rule making miscellaneous, administrative updates to its State safety participation regulations. In that rule, FRA inadvertently removed language from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which necessitates this technical amendment to effectuate FRA's intent.
