Sec. 241.19  Preemptive effect.

    Under 49 U.S.C. 20106, issuance of the regulations in this part 
preempts any State law, regulation, or order covering the same subject 
matter, except an additional or more stringent law, regulation, or order 
that is necessary to eliminate or reduce an essentially local safety 
hazard; is not incompatible with a law, regulation, or order of the 
United States Government; and does not impose an unreasonable burden on 
interstate commerce.
