Sec. 222.17  How can a State agency become a recognized State agency?



    (a) Any State agency responsible for highway-rail grade crossing 

safety and/or highway and road safety may become a recognized State 

agency by submitting an application to the Associate Administrator that 

contains:

    (1) A detailed description of the proposed scope of involvement in 

the quiet zone development process;

    (2) The name, address, and telephone number of the person(s) who may 

be contacted to discuss the State agency application; and

    (3) A statement from State agency counsel which affirms that the 

State agency is authorized to undertake the responsibilities proposed in 

its application.

    (b) The Associate Administrator will approve the application if, in 

the Associate Administrator's judgment, the proposed scope of State 

agency involvement will facilitate safe and effective quiet zone 

development. The Associate Administrator may include in any decision of 

approval such conditions as he/she deems necessary and appropriate.
