    (b) The purpose of this part is to achieve a reasonable level of 

railroad safety during the implementation of transactions described in 

paragraph (a) of this section. This part does not preclude a railroad 

from taking additional measures not inconsistent with this part to 

provide for safety in connection with a transaction.

    (c) The requirements prescribed under this part apply only to FRA's 

disposition of a regulated transaction filed by an applicant. The 

transactions covered by this part also require separate filing with and 

approval by the Surface Transportation Board. See 49 CFR part 1106.
