This chapter of the Railroad Workplace Safety Compliance Manual provides guidance for Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and State personnel to ensure railroads and contractors comply with the federal regulations concerning Part 214 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), specifically, Subpart D, On-Track Roadway Maintenance Machines and Hi- Rail Vehicles. Roadway Maintenance Machine Safety (RMMS) will be used throughout this document to refer to all of Subpart D, including those provisions that relate to hi-rail vehicles, as well as Subpart A and any applicable definitions found in 49 CFR 214.7. This manual is not to be construed as a modification, alteration, or revision of the published RMMS Rule. Any legal proceeding instituted against a railroad must be based on the official regulations found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Part 214, Subpart D, published annually by the Government Printing Office. However, inspectors should refer to this manual to understand the intent of any particular section, thereby assuring to the extent practicable, the nationally uniform application of these rules as intended by the Federal Railroad Administration. The Final Rule, published July 28, 2003, became effective September 26, 2003. The defect codes shown in Appendix B are important analytical tools for FRAs data collection. However, defect codes do not determine the existence of a violation unless they mirror the CFR rule text. If an inspector finds no defect code corresponding to a violation of the RMMS regulation, the inspector may still submit a violation describing the unsafe condition cited and referencing the CFR section that is applicable.
