Hours of Service Laws as Amended in 2008 - Second Interim Statement of Agency Policy and Interpretation (US Federal Railroad Administration Regulation) (FRA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Hours of Service Laws as Amended in 2008 - Second Interim Statement of Agency Policy and Interpretation (US Federal Railroad Administration Regulation) (FRA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The hours of service laws are Federal railroad safety laws that govern such matters as the maximum on-duty periods and minimum off-duty periods for railroad employees performing certain functions. In this document FRA supplements its existing interpretations of the hours of service laws by stating the agency's interim position on some additional interpretive questions primarily involving two provisions of those laws that were added in 2008. First, this document further interprets the hours of service laws related to train employees, particularly the "consecutive-days" provision of those laws. Although the consecutive-days provision was also discussed in FRA's June 2009 interim interpretations and February 2012 final interpretations, this document addresses the application of that provision to certain circumstances that were not specifically addressed in those interpretations. Second, this document further interprets the provision of the hours of service laws that makes signal employees operating motor vehicles subject to the hours of service laws and other hours of service requirements administered by FRA and exempt from the hours of service requirements promulgated by any other Federal authority. FRA invites public comment on these additional interim interpretations.
