This advisory focuses specifically on the need for adequate job briefings and visual assessments before railroad equipment traverses a crossing, the action required if a \"track is clear\" determination cannot be made, and the need for railroads to evaluate certain crossings to determine if it is feasible for an employee riding a shove move to make the track is clear determination. Recent accidents demonstrate that railroads and their employees may require additional training and operational testing to ensure sufficient understanding and compliance with \"track is clear\" procedures, and in some cases operating rules and/or bulletins need to be updated to require stop and flag at certain crossings. To address these concerns, FRA is recommending that railroads and railroad employees take certain actions to improve the safety of shoving or pushing movements over crossings equipped only with flashing lights or passive warning devices.","document_number":"2025-22693","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/12/2025-22693/safety-advisory-2025-02-track-is-clear-determination-during-shoving-or-pushing-movements-across","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-12/pdf/2025-22693.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22693.pdf?1765460719","publication_date":"2025-12-12","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Railroad Administration","name":"Federal Railroad Administration","id":185,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-railroad-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/185","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-railroad-administration"}],"excerpts":"crossing without confirming the track was <span class=\"match\">clear</span>. \n \n These accidents <span class=\"match\">each</span> involved operations which required compliance with 49 CFR 218.99(b)(3).

Hood National Forest; Hood River County, Oregon; Clear Branch Dam Remedial Project","type":"Notice","abstract":"The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Forest Service previously published an NOI (referred to in this notice as the original NOI) to announce the intention to prepare an EIS for the Clear Branch Dam Remedial Project (Remedial Project) on September 19, 2022. NRCS and the Forest Service are jointly publishing this revised NOI to update the project timeline, preliminary description of the proposed action and alternatives, and expected impacts; and identify the substantive provisions for potential forest plan amendments to the 1990 Mt. Hood National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan), as amended by the 1994 Record of Decision for Amendments to Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management Planning Documents within the Range of the Northern Spotted Owl (Northwest Forest Plan). This revised NOI also provides an additional 30-day scoping period and gives notice of a supplementary scoping meeting. In addition, the project name has been changed from the Clear Branch Dam Rehabilitation Project to the Clear Branch Dam Remedial Project (Remedial Project) to better align with policy (National Watershed Program Manual 505.20). The NRCS Oregon State Office and the Forest Service, announce their intent to prepare an EIS for the Remedial Project, located within the Hood River watershed in Parkdale, Oregon. The project area includes Clear Branch Dam, Laurance Lake which is formed by the dam, and associated infrastructure all located on the Mt. Hood National Forest. The Middle Fork Irrigation District (MFID)'s purpose is to provide clear and dependable irrigation water to its patrons. Recent developments have shown that Clear Branch Dam does not meet the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) safety standards and thus, in addition to remediation, this EIS will examine alternative solutions to meeting this FERC requirement while also meeting MFID's purpose which is to supply clean and dependable water. The project area in the Clear Branch watershed is primarily on National Forest System lands and includes Endangered Species Act (ESA) bull trout and Critical Habitat, significant recreation, and natural area amenities. NRCS is requesting comments to identify significant issues, potential alternatives, information, and analyses relevant to the proposed action from all interested individuals, Federal and State agencies, and Tribes.","document_number":"2025-11210","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/06/18/2025-11210/revised-notice-of-intent-to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-for-the-oregon-state-office","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-06-18/pdf/2025-11210.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-11210.pdf?1750164315","publication_date":"2025-06-18","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Natural Resources Conservation Service","name":"Natural Resources Conservation Service","id":376,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/natural-resources-conservation-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/376","parent_id":12,"slug":"natural-resources-conservation-service"},{"raw_name":"Forest Service","name":"Forest Service","id":209,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/forest-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/209","parent_id":12,"slug":"forest-service"}],"excerpts":"purpose of the 1962 Work Plan was to <span class=\"match\">provide</span> a clean and dependable water supply and improved water distribution system for the irrigation of 8,000 acres; this objective was accomplished with the construction of <span class=\"match\">Clear</span> Branch Dam on <span class=\"match\">Clear</span> Branch of the Middle Fork Hood River in 1968.
