Sec.  222.3  What areas does this regulation cover?

    (a) This part prescribes standards for sounding locomotive horns 
when locomotives approach and pass through public highway-rail grade 
crossings. This part also provides standards for the creation and 
maintenance of quiet zones within which locomotive horns need not be 
sounded.
    (b) The provisions of this part are separate and severable from one 
another. If any provision is stayed or determined to be invalid, it is 
the intent of FRA that the remaining provisions shall continue in 
effect.
    (c) This part does not apply to any Chicago Region highway-rail 
grade crossing where the railroad was excused from sounding the 
locomotive horn by the Illinois Commerce Commission, and where the 
railroad did not sound the horn, as of December 18, 2003.
