Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 5, 2009 / Notices 39135 

The proposed study has two primary 

purposes: 

• To document and characterize the 

work/rest schedules and sleep patterns 

of train crews in commuter passenger 

service 

• To examine the relationship 

between these schedules and level of 

alertness/fatigue for the individuals who 

work these schedules. 

The intent is to report results in 

aggregate, not by railroad. 

The study will seek to describe the 

work and sleep patterns for this group 

of railroad employees. It will also obtain 

subjective ratings from participants of 

their alertness/sleepiness on both work 

and non-work days. Data collection will 

be through the use of a daily diary or log 

as well as a brief background 

questionnaire for each participant. 

Analysis of the diary data will allow the 

FRA to assess whether or not there are 

any work-related fatigue issues. The 

proposed study will provide a 

defensible and definitive estimate of the 

work/rest cycle parameters and fatigue 

in this group of railroad employees that 

will inform FRA regulatory policy and 

action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 24, 2006 we published a 

notice in the Federal Register (71 FR 

50113) to announce changes in our AD 

and Special Airworthiness Information 

Bulletins (SAIB) printing and 

distribution policy. We also announced 

our intention to transition to full 

electronic distribution for ADs and 

notified the public that we would 

immediately stop mailing paper copies 

of SAIBs. 

On March 1, 2007 we published a 

notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 

9394) to announce our e-mail 

subscription service for ADs and SAIBs. 

The service, known as GovDelivery, was 

activated in May 2007 and is accessible 

from the Regulatory and Guidance 

Library (RGL) homepage at: http:// 

rgl.faa.gov. The service is free of charge 

and allows any interested party to 

subscribe. Subscribers may choose to 

receive all published documents or only 

those pertaining to a specific product 

make and model. They also may choose 

to receive all published documents for

39136 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 5, 2009 / Notices 

general categories such as ‘small 

airplane’ or ‘engine.’ The subscription 

service sends ADs and SAIBs to the email address of each subscriber within 

minutes after publication in the RGL. 

In September of 2007, the FAA 

stopped mailing paper copies of ADs 

and SAIBs to all owners and operators 

of transport airplanes and engines 

installed on transport airplanes. 

Full Electronic Distribution 

a. We will stop mailing paper copies 

of the remaining products according to 

the following schedule: 

Product Date 

Transport rotorcraft and rotorcraft engines .................................................................................................................................. October 1, 2009. 

All other rotorcraft and rotorcraft engines .................................................................................................................................... January 1, 2010. 

All aircraft, engines, and propellers ............................................................................................................................................. March 1, 2010. 

b. Owners and operators should use 

the following resources to obtain AD 

and SAIB information electronically: 

(1) Regulatory and Guidance Library 

(RGL) Web site: http://rgl.faa.gov. 

(2) Federal Register Web site: http:// 

www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/ 

(3) GovDelivery e-mail service—ADs 

are automatically e-mailed to 

subscribers who sign-up through the 

RGL homepage. 

c. For those people who might not 

have computer access or who still desire 

paper copies, the FAA will continue to 

provide the AD Biweekly, which is a 

paid subscription of all ADs issued in 

the Federal Register over the previous 

2-week period. The AD Biweekly is 

printed and mailed by the Government 

Printing Office (GPO) and does not 

include SAIBs. Contact the GPO directly 

at phone: (202) 512–1806 to subscribe. 

d. We will continue to fax and or mail 

paper copies of Emergency ADs until 

further notice.
