Rule/Notice/NOFO: Administrative Updates to the Railroad Communications Regulations

Federal Register/Notice:  federalregister.gov

Description: This rule makes administrative updates to FRA’s railroad communications regulations, including updating addresses that are no longer valid. FRA is changing § 220.7 by replacing references to specific penalty amounts with general references to the minimum civil monetary penalty, ordinary maximum civil monetary penalty, and aggravated maximum civil monetary penalty. FRA is adding language to this section referring readers to 49 CFR part 209, appendix A, where FRA will continue to specify statutorily provided civil penalty amounts updated for inflation. FRA is also updating the web address from www.fra.dot.gov to https://railroads.dot.gov/ .
