" poor reliability of ECP brakes will greatly limit any such benefits"

I'm sorry. When did Obama stop the regulations?
Your links only show that GAO recommends they not be implemented.

This is when the regulation was repealed.

WASHINGTON - In accordance with the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Public Law 114-94), the U.S. Department of Transportation today announced the final updated Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) in regard to Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes on certain trains.

Unless you are arguing that Obama was President in 2017, I don't see how he had anything to do with the repeal of the regulation.

No way Trump lies his way out of this one.

Say Joey wet panties,
The first thing Brandon did was wipe out every executive order Trump signed.
Brandon had two years to fix the problem.
It looks like this was a wheel bearing issue.

This rule, if it had remained in effect, would not have applied to that Norfolk Southern train as it was not categorized as "high-hazard."

Because of the ADDITIONAL red tape created by a law passed by the REPUBLICAN Congress in 2015 which put a requirement for an independent analysis of whether or not requiring electronic brakes would be financially beneficial to the rail industry.

The Republican law made it so that if using those brakes was not proven to financially benefit rail companies, any NEW regulation requiring them would not apply.

So even if Biden issued an executive order, it would be "trumped" by the law created by Congress.

Who was President in 2015?? It most certainly wasn't Trump...

You lefties get so agitated whenever your masters tell you what to parrot to the point that you completely skip over any sort of common sense.

To summarize: I've been told that the train derailment is Trump's fault because he removed an Obama-era regulation.

Upon mentioning the fact that Biden never bothered with reinstating said regulation, I've then been given a million different excuses from a million different people as to why Biden couldn't or didn't do it (ranging anywhere from "too busy dealing with other stuff" to supposed Republican filibustering). Your excuse happens to be some "Republican-passed" law in 2015. Who was President in 2015?? It wasn't Trump...

If you were smart enough, you'd realize that none of your blather is even relevant to begin with, but I'm here to show you that you are still being illogical even within the confines of your own irrelevant blather. Libtards sure are stupid.

IOW, in typical fashion, the Republithugs put corporate interests and profits ahead of human lives, public safety and the environment.

Anyone can take a look at any Democrat controlled feces covered drug needle covered vandalized homeless camp infested shithole city across America and easily conclude that it is actually Democrats who don't give a damn about human lives, public safety, or the environment.

 

[gfm7175]

Just more of the same old tired, looney right-wing talking point bullshit

Just more of the same old tired, looney left-wing pointless drivel

 

[gfm7175]

Regulations can't just be added at the whim of a President. There is a required legal process that takes time. Public hearings and input are required before a new regulation can be put in place.

The squirming is funny

 

[gfm7175]

Dems didn't have control of Congress

 

[gfm7175]

No. Regulations can't be instated with executive action.
Why are you so ignorant of the process?

[Poor Richard Saunders]

The squirming is funny

Regulations also can't be removed at the whim of a President.

https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/news/usdo...tronically-controlled-pneumatic-brake-mandate

This determination was made with congressionally-mandated input from the National Academy of Sciences’ Transportation Research Board, U.S. General Accountability Office (GAO) and studies by the FRA, which found that the cost-benefit analyses are not sufficient justification for mandating ECP brakes.

And Regulations don't instantly put electronic brakes on trains. It takes a few years to implement.

But at least now we know who's to blame:

So you're going to pretend that the GAO is meaningless.
U.S. Government Accountability Office (U.S. GAO)https://www.gao.gov
GAO provides fact-based, nonpartisan information to Congress. Often called the "congressional watchdog," GAO investigates federal spending and performance.

On October 14, 2016, under Obama's administration. And Obama and the Dems did nothing.

Unless you are arguing that Obama was President in 2017, I don't see how he had anything to do with the repeal of the regulation.

In accordance with the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Public Law 114-94)

And, as you said, Obama used HIS FAST ACT to stop the ECP regulation.

 

[ExpressLane]

[1] This claim being parroted by leftists isn't even applicable to this particular situation.
[2] Even if it WAS applicable, then why didn't Dem's immediately revert back to the Obama regulation upon usurping control of the Executive branch? They had two whole years to do it...

Apparently Dems were, up until now, just fine with the Obama regulation being rolled back because they never bothered to reinstate it upon usurping control of the Executive branch.

Obviously because Biden was too busy canceling the Exel pipeline and reversing Trump EOs on the border so they could allow 5 million illegals into our country. Duh!!!!

 

[ExpressLane]

So Biden tried to reinstate the Obama era regulations and Republicans filibustered it? Not only are you a moron, but a really bad and stupid liar.

Indeed!

The train derailment in East Palestine was cause by overheating wheel bearings not brakes which the crew knew was a problem for 30 miles and ignored them. It had NOTHING to do with failed brakes.

 

[Hawkeye10]

The brake regulation would have changed nothing here ....they are lying to you again.

Dont be a chump.

 

[ExpressLane]

And Regulations don't instantly put electronic brakes on trains. It takes a few years to implement.

But at least now we know who's to blame:

Biden had control of the WH the Senate and the House so why didn't he fix things? Loser.

Well, I understand the futility of trying to talk to a half-assed half-wit like you, but I will try once more to dumb it down to your level as best I can.

1) Obama created an effective safety regulation requiring electronically controlled brakes on trains that carry highly flammable and hazardous liquids.

2) The Reuthuglickers in Congress created a law in 2015 called the FAST Act. It did not effect Obama's train regulation at the time because it only pertained to NEW regulations put in place AFTER the 2015 FAST Act was in place.

Are you following me dumbass, or do you need to go back and re-read it a dozen or two times?

Take your time. I realize how slow you are.

Are you ready to continue?

Okay, here we go...

3) After Trump repealed Obama's regulation, any NEW regulations that Biden or any future President might try to implement DOWN THE ROAD, would have to conform to provisions in the FAST Act, which require new regulations to be "cost effective" (not lower their enormous profits).

Get it, no-nuts?

To summarize:

Obama put regulations in place that would have prevented the Ohio derailment.

The Rethuglickers passed a law, that would make any NEW --> FUTURE regulations have to be profitable for the train industry.

Trump did away with Obama's protective regulation.

It would be an almost impossible task for Biden to put NEW regulations in place, thanks to the Ratpublican's FAST Act

That's as simple as I can make it for you, Jethro.

If you're too fucking stupid to absorb it through your thick, concrete skull, which I'm sure you are, then there's nothing else I can do for you.

You've already taken up more of my attention than a loser like you rates.
