The Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970 vests the Secretary of Transportation with far-reaching authority---including the power to conduct special investigations---to promote safety on the nation's railroads. The Secretary has delegated authority over all areas of railroad safety to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Since 1979, FRA has conducted safety assessments of selected railroads to complement its on-going inspection programs with this systematic method of examining each railroad's structural approach to safety management. In 1987 FRA deviated from the single railroad system safety assessment concept to conduct a nationwide study of train dispatching offices.
