DDOE is designated as the state safety oversight agency, as described in 49 U.S.C. § 5329(e) and regulations issued thereunder, for the DC Streetcar when:
(1) The Secretary of Transportation provides its approval of the operation of the District's state safety oversight program by the Department pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 5329(e); and
(2) The Mayor publishes a notice in the District of Columbia Register:
(A) Stating that the approval referenced in paragraph (1) of this section was provided; and
(B) Identifying the date on which the Department shall assume the responsibility of serving as the state safety oversight agency.
(Feb. 15, 2006, D.C. Law 16-51, § 108a; as added Apr. 7, 2017, D.C. Law 21-254, § 101(c), 64 DCR 2028.)
Section 6033 of D.C. Law 22-168 repealed § 501(a) of D.C. Law 21-254. Therefore the creation of this section by D.C. Law 21-254 has been implemented.
Applicability of D.C. Law 21-254: § 501 of D.C. Law 21-254 provided that the creation of this section by § 101(c) of D.C. Law 21-254 is subject to the inclusion of the law’s fiscal effect in an approved budget and financial plan. Therefore that amendment has not been implemented.
Section 401 of Law 21-254 provided that Law 21-254 shall be construed, and the authority granted under it shall be exercised, in a manner consistent with applicable federal laws and regulations.
