  <title><![CDATA[  Adjustment of Monetary Threshold for Reporting Rail Equipment  Accidents/Incidents for Calendar Year 2009]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-12-23-E8-30534</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This rule increases the rail equipment accident/incident 
reporting threshold from $8,500 to $8,900 for certain railroad 
accidents/incidents involving property damage that occur during 
calendar year 2009. This action is needed to ensure that FRA's 
reporting requirements reflect cost increases that have occurred since 
the reporting threshold was last computed in December of 2007.

  <title><![CDATA[  Alcohol and Drug Testing: Determination of Minimum Random Testing  Rates for 2009]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-12-23-E8-30541</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ Using data from Management Information System annual reports, 
FRA has determined that the 2007 rail industry random testing positive 
rates were 0.56 percent for drugs and 0.18 percent for alcohol. Because 
the industrywide random drug testing positive rate has remained below 
1.0 percent for the last two years, the Federal Railroad Administrator 
(Administrator) has determined that the minimum annual random drug 
testing rate for the period January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009, 
will remain at 25 percent of covered railroad employees. In addition, 
because the industrywide random alcohol testing violation rate has 
remained below 0.5 percent for the last two years, the Administrator 
has determined that the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain 
at 10 percent of covered railroad employees for the period January 1, 
2009, through December 31, 2009.
