Title: Regulations on Safety Integration Plans Governing Railroad Consolidations, Mergers, Acquisitions of Control, and Start-Up Operations | |
Abstract: FRA is drafting its response to petitions for reconsideration of the final rule, published on March 15, 2002, that requires a railroad to file a Safety Integration Plan with the Federal Railroad Administration whenever a Class I railroad proposes to merge, consolidate, or acquire control of another Class I or Class II railroad with which it proposes to amalgamate operations. See 67 FR 11582. The final rule prescribed content and subject matter areas that must be addressed in each plan before FRA may approve of such plan. FRA prepared the final rule and coordinated with the Surface Transportation Board to issue rulemaking actions covering these transactions within the framework of each agency's jurisdiction. | |
