Federal Railroad Administration August 12, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On June 9, 2008, FRA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (73 FR 32515) proposing amending the eligibility and application form and content criteria of the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) Program to ensure the long-term sustainability of the program, promote competition in the railroad industry, and reduce the risk of default for applicants and the Government. Due to an administrative error, a Preliminary Regulatory Evaluation (Evaluation) was not included in the docket. This notice announces an extension of the comment period until August 26, 2008 to allow for consideration of the Evaluation.
