[FRA Docket No. RSGC-6; Notice No. 3]
RIN 2130--AA92
Selection and Installation of Grade Crossing Warning Systems;
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Change of hearing date and extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 7, 1995, FRA published in the Federal Register a
notice changing the hearing date in this rulemaking from May 9, 1995 to
April 24, 1995.
FRA has reconsidered the hearing schedule as a result of comments
from members of the public regarding the hardship that would be imposed
on those wishing to participate in the hearings by the shortened time
from resulting from the date change.
FRA is accordingly canceling the hearing scheduled for April 24,
1995 and will instead hold two days of hearings in this matter on
Tuesday June 6, and Wednesday, June 7, 1995. The hearing location
remains the same and will be held in room 2230 of the Nassif Building,
DOT Headquarters Building, 400 Seventh S.W., Washington, D.C.
The comment period in this rulemaking is also being extended.
Comments will be accepted through June 14, 1995.
We apologize for any inconvenience this rescheduling may cause
however, we believe that this change in hearing dates will provide
greater opportunity for all interested parties to participate in this
rulemaking.
DATES: (1) Written comments must be received no later than June 14,
1995. Comments received after that date will be considered to the
extent possible [[Page 19013]] without incurring additional expense or
delay.
(2) A public hearing will be held at 9:30 a.m. on June 6, 1995 and
at 9:30 a.m. on June 7, 1995. Any person who wishes to speak at the

before to the hearing, by telephone or by mail.
ADDRESSES: (1) Written comments should be submitted to the Docket
Clerk, Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 400 Seventh Street N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20590. Persons desiring to be notified that their
written comments have been received by FRA should submit a stamped,
self-addressed postcard with their comments. The Docket Clerk will
indicate on the postcard the date on which the comments were received
and will return the card to the addressee. Written comments will be
available for examination, both before and after the closing date for
comments, during regular business hours in Room 8201 of the Nassif
Building at the above address.
