Need For Improved Action On
Railroad Safety Recommendations







The National Transportation Safety Board has
not been prompt in evaluating responses to its
railroad safety recommendations or following
up on proposed action. The Board has recog-
nized this problem and recently took steps to
correct it.

In many cases the Federal Railroad Adminis-
tration has not responded to recommen-
dations within 90 days or provided timetables
for carrying them out as required by law.
Further, it has not adequately kept track of
action promised by its operating units and
does not inform the Safety Board of impor-
tant changes or delays to promised actions.

As a result, GAO could not determine if all
Board recommendations to the Federal Rail-
road Administration were pending for jus-
tifiable reasons.
