The Federal Railroad Administration submitted an updated ICR that will address concerns and recommendations made by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainman during the previous comment period. BLET suggested FRA collect feedback from locomotive engineers regarding the amount of distraction they face in the cab, expressed concerns that the study limited the craft of locomotive engineer, and voiced concerns about the current study not addressing additional distractions such as Trip Optimizer or Leader.
Interested parties may submit comments on the updated ICR until May 24, 2017.
