Reader Comment – 1-15-09 GPO Corrected

There was a comment posted by Anonymous adding some information to this morning’s blog about the GPO links to the PTC rule. Anonymous wrote: “Look also for a third section. (126 pages total)” I went back to look for that and found that the links in the GPO email that I had received early this morning now work the way they normally do. Both the Text and PDF links take you to a single complete document. Since the email didn’t change it must have been a problem on the GPO server that was corrected.

GPO Error – FRA PTC Final Rule

I noted earlier this week that the Federal Railroad Administration would be publishing their final rule on positive train control today. Well they did, but there was a problem with the GPO notification about that rule. For those of you that use either the email listing of Federal Register notices or the on-line listing the link to the PTC final rule will only take you to the second half of the rule published in today’s Federal Register. The first half of the rule is published at 75 FR 2597-2646 (.PDF Copy)and the second half is published at 75 FR 2697-2722 (.PDF Copy). I don’t know why there is a 50 page gap in the printing of this lengthy (72 total pages in the Federal Register) document, but this will certainly complicate people finding the complete document. Hopefully the GPO will provide a copy of the double link in Monday’s issue.
