However, for NG911 to be fully effective, NG911 networks must be designed to safeguard the reliability of critical components and support the interoperability needed to seamlessly transfer 911 calls and data from one network to another. The rules require entities essential to delivering emergency calls in the NG911 environment to implement common sense measures to safeguard the reliability of NG911 networks and reduce the risk of 911 outages, and require certain entities to report on their support for NG911 interoperability.

Since December 31, 2020, by law, PTC systems have generally governed rail operations on PTC-mandated main lines, which encompass nearly 59,000 route miles today. Through FRA's oversight and continued engagement with the industry, FRA has found that its existing PTC regulations do not adequately address temporary situations during which PTC technology is not enabled, including after certain initialization failures or in cases where a PTC system needs to be temporarily disabled to facilitate repair, maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, or capital projects. FRA expects PTC systems to be reliable and robust, further reducing the occurrence of initialization failures and outages. This NPRM proposes to establish strict parameters and operating restrictions under which railroads may continue to operate safely in certain necessary scenarios when PTC technology is temporarily not governing rail operations. The purpose of this NPRM is to enable continued, safe operations and improve rail safety by facilitating prompt repairs, upgrades, and restoration of PTC system service.","document_number":"2024-24559","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/10/28/2024-24559/positive-train-control-systems","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-28/pdf/2024-24559.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-24559.pdf?1729860312","publication_date":"2024-10-28","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":"incidents associated with railroads' RFAs for temporary PTC system <span class=\"match\">outages</span> from 2022 to early 2024, the relevant period during which FRA began approving such <span class=\"match\">outages</span> by regulation. \n \n Based on past RFA filings from 2022 to early 2024 involving temporary PTC system <span class=\"match\">outages</span>, FRA estimates that railroads will <span class=\"match\">file</span> approximately 15 RFAs, on average on an annual basis, under proposed § 236.1021(m)(4) in the future.
