shorter traffic channelization arrangements can be used with reasonable <br />effectiveness estimates. <br />✓ Adds a provision that provides risk reduction credit for pre- existing SSMs and <br />pre- existing modified SSMs that were implemented prior to December 18, <br />2003. <br />✓ Continues education and enforcement options, including photo enforcement, <br />subject to verification of effectiveness.3 <br />• The public authority responsible for traffic control or law enforcement at the highway -rail <br />grade crossing is the only entity that can designate or apply for quiet zone status. <br />• FRA will provide a web -based tool for communities to use in performing "what if' <br />calculations and preparing submissions necessary to create or retain quiet zones. The tool <br />may be found at http: / /www.fra.dot.gov. <br />• In order to ensure proper application of the risk index, the National Highway -Rail <br />Crossing Inventory must be accurate and complete. In the absence of timely filings to the <br />Inventory by the States or Railroads, local authorities may file updated inventory <br />information, and railroads must cooperate in. providing railroad- specific data. <br />• FRA regional personnel will be available to participate in diagnostic teams evaluating <br />options for quiet zones. <br />• Once a quiet zone is established (including the continuation of Pre -Rule or Intermediate <br />Quiet Zones pending any required improvements), the railroad is barred from routine <br />sounding of the horn at the affected highway -rail grade crossings. <br />• See below for discussion of Pre-Rule Quiet Zones and New Quiet Zones. <br />3The rule neither approves nor excludes the possibility of relying upon regional education <br />and enforcement programs with alternative verification strategies. FRA is providing funding in <br />support of an Illinois Commerce Commission- sponsored regional program. The law provides <br />authority for use of new techniques when they have been demonstrated to be effective. <br />Disclaimer: This is a summary of the Final Rule for initial briefing purposes only. Entities subject to the rule <br />should refer to the rule text as published in the Federal Register on April 27, 2005. <br />
