Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 152 / Wednesday, August 7, 2013 / Notices
in the records required to be kept by 49
CFR 217.9(d).
5. Conduct system-wide evaluations
to identify particular hazards (e.g.,
grade, train commodity, trespasser
accessibility) which increase
securement and other safety risks at
crew change locations and other
locations where any trains or rolling
equipment are regularly left unattended.
After identifying hazards at these
locations, railroads should adopt
procedures to mitigate risks that could
result in unauthorized or uncontrolled
train movements.
6. Review the other requirements in
Transport Canada’s emergency directive
and order, to include human factor
requirements such as operator fatigue,
the use of derails as a secondary line of
defense at high risk locations, and
available personnel to secure a train,
and, as necessary, amend the
procedures governing these issues to
ensure the safety of train operations,
particularly as they relate to train
operations conducted on main track.
Recommended Hazardous Materials
Actions: In light of the above discussion,
and in an effort to maintain safety of the
Nation’s rail system, DOT recommends
that:
1. Offerors evaluate their processes to
ensure that hazardous materials are
properly classed and described in
accordance with the HMR.
2. Offerors and carriers of hazardous
materials review their safety and
security plans adopted in accordance
with subpart I of part 172 of the HMR.
Offerors and carriers evaluate whether
the existing plans adequately address
personnel security, unauthorized access,
and en-route security and, as necessary,
amend the plans as to ensure the
continued safe and secure
transportation of railroad tank cars
containing hazardous materials.
DOT encourages railroad and
hazardous material industry members to
take actions that are consistent with the
preceding recommendations, and to take
other complementary actions to help
ensure the safety of the Nation’s
railroads. DOT may modify this safety
advisory, issue additional safety
advisories, or take other appropriate
actions necessary to ensure the highest
level of safety on the Nation’s railroads,
including pursuing other corrective
measures under its rail and hazardous
materials safety authority.
