The publisher's summary

This rule amends FRA's freight car safety regulations to repeal the requirement for special approval to place or to continue a freight car in service if it is more than 50 years old or equipped with any design or type component listed in appendix A to part 215. This final rule allows railroads to continue or to place such cars in service with notice to FRA, providing certain information that has previously been required in petitions for special approval.
