Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Longer Reporting Time for RWP
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) proposes to extend the time period that State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOAs) have to report Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) programs to the FTA. The change is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on SSOAs who oversee RWP programs.
Allow Combining Annual RWP Audits
FTA proposes allowing State Safety Oversight Agencies to complete annual Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) audits simultaneously with other required audits. This change lets SSOAs combine audits to reduce duplicate effort when conducting oversight.
