    SUMMARY: The Federal Railroad Administration published in the Federal 
    Register of June 22, 1998 (63 FR 33992), a final rule to revise the 
    Track Safety Standards contained in 49 CFR part 213. On August 28, 
    1998, FRA published a notice of corrections to correct several 
    inadvertent errors which appeared in the final rule (63 FR 45959). This 
    correction notice corrects additional errors since found in the final 
    rule.
    
    DATES: Effective on October 8, 1998.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allison H. MacDowell, Office of Safety 
    Assurance and Compliance, Federal Railroad Administration, 400 Seventh 
    Street, SW., Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: 202-493-
    6236), or Nancy Lummen Lewis, Office of Chief Counsel, Federal Railroad 
    Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Mail Stop 10, Washington, DC 
    20590 (telephone: 202-493-6047).
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FRA published a final rule in the Federal 
    Register of June 22, 1998, (63 FR 33992), which, effective September 
    21, 1998, replaces the Track Safety Standards in 49 CFR part 213. The 
    final rule, however, contained several inadvertent errors which were 
    corrected in a notice published in the Federal Register August 28, 1998 
    (63 FR 45959). The purpose of this notice is to correct two additional 
    errors discovered in the final rule after publication of the August 28 
    notice.
    
    
    Sec. 213.57  [Corrected]
    
        In the final rule, make the following corrections:
        On page 34033, remove the first sentence of Sec. 213.57(g)(4), and 
    replace with the following sentence: ``The track owner or railroad 
    operates an instrumented car having dynamic response characteristics 
    that are representative of other equipment assigned to service or a 
    portable device that monitors on-board instrumentation on trains over 
    the curves in the identified track segment at the revenue speed profile 
    at a frequency of at least once every 90-day period with not less than 
    30 days interval between inspections.''
    
    
    Sec. 213.345  [Corrected]
    
        On page 34051, in Sec. 213.345(d), remove ``Sec. 213.333(k)'' and 
    replace with ``Sec. 213.333(l)''
    
        Dated: October 5, 1998.
    S. Mark Lindsey,
    Chief Counsel.
