Abstract:
TSA will collect rail security coordinator information (RSC) and reports of significant security concerns from freight and passenger railroad carriers, rail transit systems, and rail hazardous materials shipper and receiver facilities, which TSA will use to provide entities with timely notification of vital security information. TSA will require the reporting of significant security concerns, which will increase the agency's domain awareness in the rail mode. TSA will also require that these entities document and maintain records of the secure exchange of custody of rail cars carrying the categories and quantities of hazardous materials outlined in 49 CFR 1580.100(b).
