Notice published on Dec. 17 by Transportation Department

The US Transportation Department published a two page notice on Dec. 17, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Sierra Northern Railway-Lease and Operation Exemption-Union Pacific Railroad Company.

The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
