40 notices published in week ending Oct. 3 by Transportation Department

There were 40 notices published by the Transportation Department in week ending Oct. 3, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Railroads' Requests To Amend Their Positive Train Control Safety Plans and Positive Train Control Systems, was submitted on Oct. 1, 2021.

The Transportation Department published 20 the week before, marking a 100.0 percent increase.

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.
