Title: Rail Integrity and Track Safety Standards Amendments (RRTF) 
Abstract:

Proper recognition and understanding of dangerous track conditions and defects is critical to avoiding train derailments. This rulemaking would amend existing regulations to incorporate long-standing waivers related to the conduct of continuous rail testing. In order to facilitate industry use of continuous testing, the amendments would provide relief related to current reverification and repair requirements.
