| 摘要： | In order to ensure compliance with Federal safety standards, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) employs a variety of enforcement tools. The most stringent of these is the authority to issue emergency orders where an unsafe condition, an unsafe practice, or both create an emergency situation. FRA also has the authority to issue compliance orders, special notices for repair, and disqualification orders. Where necessary, FRA may seek injunctions. Where inspectors observe (and carefully document) serious or egregious violations of the railroad safety laws, FRA may assess a civil penalty against a railroad, shipper, or individual for the violation, as warranted. Of the many tools FRA uses to ensure rail safety, the Safety Assurance and Compliance Program (SACP) is one of the most important and effective. FRA established this program to facilitate permanent solutions to safety issues by employing the following: using the expertise of various parties associated with each of the major railroads to find the root causes of safety problems; developing solutions cooperatively with railroad management and employees; and focusing both inspection activity and the use of enforcement tools on the most serious safety risks revealed by FRA inspections and FRA accident data. The first SACP Report (Year 2002) was prepared in response to a request from Congress. This year's report builds on that initial effort. |
