No, IDIOT, the RULES didn't meet the REQUIREMENTS of the LAW as passed.....Hence, the RULE WAS NOT REPEALED, it was NEVER IMPLEMENTED!!Xavier_Onassis » 23 Feb 2023, 1:10 pm » wrote: ↑ The regulations were removed by a Republican Congess, but Biden has not had enough votes to restore them.

The FAST Act included a provision that ordered the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and other researchers to review the ECP brake rule following complaints from railroad companies and lobbyists, including the Association of American Railroads.
The GAO report found flaws in the DOT’s estimates of potential business benefits of the ECP brakes, including reduced fuel consumption, reduced wear on wheels, and improved operational efficiencies. After the GAO released its findings, the DOT performed a revised cost-benefit analysis, which determined the benefits of ECP brakes did not outweigh the cost of implementing them. On Sept. 25, 2018, the DOT issued a final rule to remove the ECP brake rule from the FAST Act.
A few months after the repeal, the Associated Press released a study that found that the DOT’s analysis omitted up to $117 million in estimated future damages from train derailments that could be avoided by using electronic brakes.
As a result of the AP study, the DOT issued a technical correction in January 2019 but maintained the costs exceeded the benefits of the ECP brake rule, according to the Harvard University Environmental & Energy Law Program.

The Democratic Party seems intransigent on their position of keeping the party ‘woke,’ detached, exclusionary, and totally insane.
