Sections 130, Railway-Highway Crossings Program (See Attachment), and 152, Hazard Elimination Program (See Attachment), as well as the implementing regulations in 23 CFR 924, (See Attachment) remain in effect. Included in these combined provisions are requirements for State DOTs to annually produce and submit to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) the following reports related to the conduct and effectiveness of their HSIPs:
