usefulness.’’ 56 FR at 28249. FRA
intended that the listing be updated
whenever it does not accurately identify
the person(s) certified and qualified
(i.e., when the listing’s usefulness is
diminished). Ideally, the listing should
be updated each time a person is newly
certified and qualified, and each time a
person is no longer considered certified
or qualified.
With regard to updating the listing of
foreign locomotive engineers in joint
operation territories, it should be noted
that FRA considers it more important to
remove the name of any foreign
engineer who is no longer considered
certified or qualified for joint operations
territory then to fail to add a person who
has recently become certified and
qualified. When a controlling railroad
questions a foreign engineer’s
certification or qualifications and the
engineer’s name is not found on the list,
the controlling railroad would be
expected to immediately contact the
foreign railroad in order to confirm the
person’s status before allowing the
foreign engineer to proceed into the
joint operations territory. Alternatively,
if a controlling railroad were to question
a foreign engineer’s certification or
qualifications and the engineer’s name
is found on the list, the controlling
railroad would likely be expected to rely
on the list and would be exercising due
diligence in doing so. If the list is
incorrect and the person’s name should
have been removed, the controlling
railroad cannot be expected to prevent
an unqualified person from operating in
the joint operations territory.
Several major railroads have voiced
concern that because the listing is in
such a constant state of flux, it would
be extremely difficult to maintain an
accurate listing at all times. In the joint
operation context, a major railroad may
face the challenge of coordinating a
listing that includes separate lists
submitted by more than 100 foreign
railroads. Although FRA agrees that it
will be challenging for some railroads
that allow extensive joint operations to
maintain an accurate written list, such
railroads may find it easier to comply by
maintaining the listing electronically.
Maintaining the listing electronically
has always been an option pursuant to
§ 240.221(f), but it has not been
extensively utilized. There is no
question that modern technology has
greatly improved since the rule’s
issuance in 1991, and thus the ability
and desire to electronically maintain the
listing should be much greater. For
example, it is possible to maintain a
secure Web site where a controlling
railroad can search a foreign railroad’s
uploaded list of locomotive engineers to

check: (1) Whether the person is
certified and qualified for the joint
operations territory; (2) the person’s
class of service; and, (3) the date of the
railroad’s certification decision. Another
option may be for a foreign railroad to
tap into its railroad crew management
tracking system to produce a more
detailed written or electronic list of its
engineers to controlling railroads than
what is currently being made available.
Other electronically maintained options
may be available and FRA encourages
railroads controlling joint operations to
consider options that would improve
the usefulness of the required listing.
Any railroad that would like to maintain
the listing electronically is required to
obtain approval from FRA pursuant to
the requirements in § 240.221(f).
While FRA recognizes that recent
changes in status to any particular
engineer might not be reflected in the
listing immediately, FRA expects the
listing to be updated with enough
regularity so that it retains its
usefulness.
FRA believes that this notice provides
sufficient information to guide parties
that may have been confused by the
requirements of § 240.221. However,
FRA seeks comments on this notice
from interested parties including any
suggestions for providing more clarity, if
necessary. Please refer to the Addresses
section for additional information
regarding the submission of comments.

ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason
retention limit adjustment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS has determined that
the Atlantic tunas General category
daily Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT)
retention limit should be adjusted for
the September, October-November, and
December time periods of the 2008
fishing year, based on consideration of
the determination criteria regarding
inseason adjustments.
DATES: The effective dates for the
adjusted BFT daily retention limits are
September 1, 2008, through December
31, 2008.

latest (2006) ICCAT recommendation for
western Atlantic BFT included a U.S.
quota of 1,190.12 mt, effective beginning
in 2007, through 2008, and thereafter
