[Docket No. FRA–2009–0016] 

Metrics and Standards for Intercity 

Passenger Rail Service under Section 

207 of the Passenger Rail Investment 

and Improvement Act of 2008 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Response to Comments; 

Issuance of Metrics and Standards. 

SUMMARY: Section 207 of the Passenger 

Rail Investment and Improvement Act 

of 2008 (Division B of Pub. L. 110–432) 

(PRIIA) charged the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) and Amtrak 

jointly and in consultation with other 

parties, with developing new or 

improving existing metrics and 

minimum standards for measuring the 

performance and service quality of 

intercity passenger train operations. In 

compliance with the statute, the FRA 

and Amtrak jointly drafted performance 

metrics and standards for intercity 

passenger rail service and, on March 13, 

2009, posted a draft document, entitled 

‘‘Proposed Metrics and Standards for 

Intercity Passenger Rail Service,’’ on the 

FRA’s Web site. Simultaneously, the 

FRA published a notice in the Federal 

Register (74 FR 10983) requesting 

comments on the Proposed Metrics and 

Standards from the Surface 

Transportation Board, rail carriers over 

whose rail lines Amtrak trains operate, 

States, Amtrak employees, nonprofit 

employee organizations representing 

Amtrak employees, and groups 

representing Amtrak passengers. 

Seventeen comments were submitted to 

the corresponding docket (number 

FRA–2009–0016) at regulations.gov by 

the end of the comment period on 

March 27, 2009 and as a result, the FRA 

and Amtrak have jointly made, and are 

jointly issuing, revisions to the Metrics 

and Standards. The final version of the 

Metrics and Standards is posted on the 

FRA’s Web site at http:// 

www.fra.dot.gov/us/content/2165. 

DATES: These Metrics and Standards are 

in effect as of May 11, 2010.
