under section 60101(b), 60102, 60103, 60108,
60109, 60110, or 60113 shall be promulgated
unless the Secretary of Transportation—
‘‘(1) certifies that the Secretary has
conducted an analysis of risk reduction
benefits and costs that is based on objec-
tive and unbiased scientific and eco-
nomic evaluations of all significant and
relevant information and risk assess-
ments provided to the Department of
Transportation by interested parties or
generated by the Department itself relat-
ing to the costs, risks, and risk reduction
and other benefits addressed by the
standard or requirement;
‘‘(2) certifies that the incremental risk
reduction or other benefits of any option
chosen will be likely to justify, and be
reasonably related to, the incremental
costs incurred by State, local, and tribal
governments and the Federal Govern-
ment and other public and private citi-
zens; and

identified or considered by the Secretary
were found either—
‘‘(A) to be less cost-effective at

reduction in risk; or

State, local, or tribal governments or
regulated entities in achieving the
otherwise applicable objectives of the
standard or requirement, along with
a brief explanation of why other op-
tions that were identified or consid-
