Abstract
In this document FRA states the agency's position on certain interpretive questions arising out of some of the complex and important amendments enacted in 2008 to the Federal railroad safety laws that govern such matters as how long a railroad may require or allow an employee in a certain category to remain on duty and how long the railroad must give the employee off duty before the employee may go on duty again. In issuing this interpretation, FRA has considered public comments that it received on its June 2009 document that contained the agency's interim interpretations of those amended laws.
