The
Academy of Rail Labor Attorneys met in Florida on February 5, 2001. The
group was addressed by Michael De Emilia, FRA Senior Project Coordinator.
One of the handouts, "Overview
of the Railroad Safety Regulatory Program and Standards-Related
Partnership Efforts", has recently become available on the
Internet. We believe is worth sharing with our subscribers.
Below
is its Table of Contents. (Click on the link above to read the document in
