RIN 2130--AA92


Selection and Installation of Grade Crossing Warning Systems; 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Change of hearing date and extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On April 7, 1995, FRA published in the Federal Register a 
notice changing the hearing date in this rulemaking from May 9, 1995 to 
April 24, 1995.
    FRA has reconsidered the hearing schedule as a result of comments 
from members of the public regarding the hardship that would be imposed 
on those wishing to participate in the hearings by the shortened time 
from resulting from the date change.
    FRA is accordingly canceling the hearing scheduled for April 24, 
1995 and will instead hold two days of hearings in this matter on 
Tuesday June 6, and Wednesday, June 7, 1995. The hearing location 
remains the same and will be held in room 2230 of the Nassif Building, 
DOT Headquarters Building, 400 Seventh S.W., Washington, D.C.
    The comment period in this rulemaking is also being extended. 
Comments will be accepted through June 14, 1995.
    We apologize for any inconvenience this rescheduling may cause 
however, we believe that this change in hearing dates will provide 
greater opportunity for all interested parties to participate in this 
rulemaking.

DATES: (1) Written comments must be received no later than June 14, 
1995. Comments received after that date will be considered to the 
extent possible [[Page 19013]] without incurring additional expense or 
delay.
    (2) A public hearing will be held at 9:30 a.m. on June 6, 1995 and 
at 9:30 a.m. on June 7, 1995. Any person who wishes to speak at the 
hearing should notify the FRA Docket Clerk at least five working days 
before to the hearing, by telephone or by mail.

ADDRESSES: (1) Written comments should be submitted to the Docket 
Clerk, Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 400 Seventh Street N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20590. Persons desiring to be notified that their 
written comments have been received by FRA should submit a stamped, 
self-addressed postcard with their comments. The Docket Clerk will 
indicate on the postcard the date on which the comments were received 
and will return the card to the addressee. Written comments will be 
available for examination, both before and after the closing date for 
comments, during regular business hours in Room 8201 of the Nassif 
Building at the above address.
    (2) A public hearing will be held in room 2230 of the Nassif 
Building, 400 Seventh Street S.W. Washington, D.C. Persons desiring to
