Record of Decision: Use of Locomotive Horns Final Rule. Federal Railroad Administration

摘要

This Record of Decision (ROD) contains the reasoning employed by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to reach a decision on issuance of the Final Rule on the Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings. It is supported by the much more detailed analysis included in the preambles to the Interim Final Rule on the Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings (Interim Final Rule) and Final Rule. On December 5, 2003, Federal Railroad Administrator Allan Rutter approved the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Interim Final Rule. The final EIS notice of availability was published in the Federal Register by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on January 2, 2004.
