SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On October 30, 2023, FTA published in the Federal Register (Docket
No. FTA-2023-0018, 88 FR 74107) an Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking public input in two areas: (1) hours of
service; and (2) fatigue risk management programs. At present, there

comments, views, and relevant research on those topics. FTA seeks
information to better understand current industry practices,
priorities, requirements, and the costs and benefits of Federal
requirements.
II. Meeting Participation
The listening session is open to the public.

The session will be held virtually. Interested parties should
