## Abstract

This rulemaking action makes a technical clarification to certain locomotive headlight and auxiliary light provisions. The purpose of this modification is to codify FRA's longstanding acceptance of lamps used in locomotive headlights and auxiliary lights. FRA believes that the clarifications being made in this document are consistent with both FRA's intent when issuing the requirements related to locomotive headlights and auxiliary lights and FRA's enforcement policies related to those provisions. FRA also believes that the clarifications contained in this document further FRA's goal of facilitating the use of advanced technologies and enhance FRA's safety enforcement program by recognizing specific types of lamps it considers acceptable for use in headlights and auxiliary lights.
