SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On January 12, 2011, FRA published an NPRM related to locomotive safety standards. See 76 FR 2200. The NPRM established a public docket to receive comments in response to FRA's proposal related to locomotive safety standards. That NPRM mistakenly lists FRA-2009-0095 (“incorrect docket”) as the docket number for the NPRM. The correct docket number for this proceeding is FRA-2009-94 (“correct docket”). FRA requests that comments to the NPRM be submitted to the correct docket.

Comments submitted to the incorrect docket will be fully considered as part of the locomotive safety standards rulemaking. Because the incorrect docket is listed in the January 12, 2011, Federal Register document issuing the NPRM, comments submitted to the incorrect docket will remain valid. FRA will transfer all comments and information that are received in the incorrect docket to the correct docket. As such, interested parties that wish to read comments to the NPRM should access docket FRA-2009-0094 to locate the comments.

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 9, 2011.

Deputy Associate Administrator for Regulatory and Legislative Operations.
