Sec. 213.2  Preemptive effect.



    Under 49 U.S.C. 20106, issuance of these regulations 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 that does not impose an unreasonable burden on 

interstate commerce.
