SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 14, 1996, FRA published its NPRM on
Roadway Worker Protection. The NPRM was the product of FRA's first
negotiated rulemaking. Consistent with the Administrative Procedures
Act (5 U.S.C. Sec. 553), FRA solicited and received comments on the
proposed rule. In accordance with spirit of the Negotiated Rulemaking
Act (5 U.S.C. Sec. 561 et seq.) FRA is allowing the Committee to
consider these comments and make a recommendation to FRA regarding
their status prior to issuing a Final Rule. FRA continues to believe
that public participation is critical to the success of this process.
This negotiating session will be open to the public, pursuant to the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463).
S. Mark Lindsey,
Chief Counsel, Federal Railroad Administration.
