Action
Final rule; adjustment of schedule of civil penalties.
Summary
This document amends the schedule of civil penalties for violations of part 232 to make it consistent with the primary final rule in this proceeding or with subsequent changes made in the text of the regulation in response to petitions for reconsideration. These changes are technical amendments made solely to the schedule of civil penalties contained in appendix A to part 232, are a statement of agency policy, and are consistent with FRA's intent when issuing the final rule and its response to petitions for reconsideration in this proceeding. The adjustments will enhance FRA's safety enforcement program by ensuring that the regulated community is fully aware of its potential civil penalty liability and by ensuring that appropriate civil penalties are assessed when taking enforcement actions.
