[FRA Docket No. PB-9, Notice No. 9]
[RIN 2130-AB22]

 
Two-Way End-of-Train Telemetry Devices and Certain Passenger 
Train Operations

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of previously issued and published notice 
of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FRA is withdrawing the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
regarding two-way end-of-train telemetry devices and certain passenger 
train operations issued on December 29, 1997 and published in the 
Federal Register on January 5, 1998. See 63 FR 195. FRA inadvertently 
issued and published the NPRM prior to the completion of executive 
branch review of the document and is consequently withdrawing the 
proposal at this time. FRA intends to reissue an NPRM on two-way end-
of-train telemetry devices and certain passenger train operations upon 
the completion of the review process.
