Sec.  659.37  Corrective action plans.

    (a) The oversight agency must, at a minimum, require the development 
of a corrective action plan for the following:
    (1) Results from investigations, in which identified causal and 
contributing factors are determined by the rail transit agency or 
oversight agency as requiring corrective actions; and
    (2) Findings from safety and security reviews performed by the 
oversight agency.
    (b) Each corrective action plan should identify the action to be 
taken by the rail transit agency, an implementation schedule, and the 
individual or department responsible for the implementation.
    (c) The corrective action plan must be reviewed and formally 
approved by the oversight agency.
    (d) The oversight agency must establish a process to resolve 
disputes between itself and the rail transit agency resulting from the 
development or enforcement of a corrective action plan.
    (e) The oversight agency must identify the process by which findings 
from an NTSB accident investigation will be evaluated to determine 
whether or not a corrective action plan should be developed by either 
the oversight agency or rail transit agency to address NTSB findings.
    (f) The rail transit agency must provide the oversight agency:
    (1) Verification that the corrective action(s) has been implemented 
as described in the corrective action plan, or that a proposed alternate 
action(s) has been implemented subject to oversight agency review and 
approval; and
    (2) Periodic reports requested by the oversight agency, describing 
the status of each corrective action(s) not completely implemented, as 
described in the corrective action plan.
