Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970 (45 U.S.C. 446) (the ``Safety Act'') 

which requires the Secretary of Transportation to establish a schedule 

of fees to be assessed equitably to railroads to cover the costs 

incurred by the Federal Railroad Administration (``FRA'') in 

administering the Safety Act (not including activities described in 

section 202(a)(2) thereof).

    (b) Beginning in the fiscal year ending September 30, 1991, each 

railroad subject to this part shall pay an annual user fee to the FRA. 

For fiscal years 1992 through 1995, the user shall be calculated by FRA 

in accordance with Sec.  245.101. The Secretary's authority to collect 

user fees shall expire on September 30, 1995, as provided for in section 

216(f) of the Safety Act.
