Rule/Notice/NOFO: Administrative Updates to the Signal Systems Reporting Requirements Regulations
Federal Register/Notice: federalregister.gov
Description: This rule makes administrative updates to FRA’s signal systems reporting requirements regulations, including updating addresses that are no longer valid. FRA is amending § 233.11 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 amending this section to update the web address from www.fra.dot.gov to https://railroads.dot.gov/. To be consistent with other definitions of “person,” such as 49 CFR 270.5, FRA is updating the reference from 1 U.S.C. 1 to 49 U.S.C. 21301. .
