Title: 49 U.S.C. 5330—Rail Fixed 

Guideway Systems, State Safety 

Oversight (OMB Number: 2132–0558) 

Background: 49 U.S.C. 5330 requires 

States to designate a State Safety 

Oversight (SSO) agency to oversee the 

safety and security of each rail transit 

agency within the State’s jurisdiction. 

To comply with Section 5330, SSO 

agencies must develop program 

standards which meet FTA’s minimum 

requirements. In the Program Standard, 

which must be approved by FTA, each 

SSO agency must require each rail 

transit agency in the State’s jurisdiction 

to prepare and implement a System 

Safety Program Plan (SSPP) and System 

Security Plan (SSP). The SSO agency 

also requires the rail transit agencies in 

its jurisdiction to conduct specific 

activities, such as accident 

investigation, implementation of a 

hazard management program, and the 

management of an internal safety and 

security audit process. SSO agencies 

review and approve the SSPPs and SSPs 

of the rail transit agencies. Once every 

three years, States conduct an on-site 

review of the rail transit agencies in 

their jurisdictions to assess SSPP/SSP 

implementation and to determine 

whether these plans are effective and if 

they need to be updated. SSO agencies 

develop final reports documenting the 

findings from these on-site reviews and 

require corrective actions. SSO agencies 

also review and approve accident 

investigation reports, participate in the 

rail transit agency’s hazard management 

program, and oversee implementation of 

the rail transit agency’s internal safety 

and security audit process. SSO
