SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 9, 2012, FRA published a final rule 
related to locomotive safety standards. See 77 FR 21312. The final rule 
established a public docket to receive petitions for reconsideration in 
response to FRA's final rule related to locomotive safety standards and 
comments on such petitions. That final rule mistakenly lists FR-2009-
0095 (``incorrect docket'') as the docket number for the final rule. 
The correct docket number for this proceeding is FRA-2009-94 (``correct 
docket''). FRA requests that petitions for reconsideration related to 
the final rule and comments on such petitions be submitted to the 
correct docket.
    Petitions for reconsideration and comments on such petitions 
submitted to the incorrect docket will be fully considered as part of 
the locomotive safety standards rulemaking. Because the incorrect 
docket is listed in the April 9, 2012, Federal Register document 
issuing the final rule, petitions for reconsideration and comments on 
such petitions submitted to the incorrect docket will remain valid. FRA 
will transfer all comments and information that are received in the 
incorrect docket to the correct docket. As such, interested parties 
that wish to read petitions for reconsideration related to the final 
rule and comments on such petitions should access docket FRA-2009-0094 
to locate them.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 12, 2012.
Ron Hynes,
Acting Deputy Associate Administrator for Regulatory and Legislative 
Operations.
