    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a delay in the effective date of a new rule regarding seat belt warning systems. Initially set to take effect on January 3, 2025, this rule requires a seat belt use warning for rear seats and updates the warning standards for front seats. The delay, pushing the effective date to March 20, 2025, is due to a regulatory review mandated by the President's memorandum. This decision is enacted immediately and is exempt from notice and comment procedures.

    The people in charge of car safety have decided to wait a bit longer before making a new rule about car seatbelt warnings come true. This gives them more time to check everything over, even though some people might have questions about this wait.

    Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) has asked the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to extend a waiver for some safety regulations, specifically regarding brake tests and car inspections.

According to UP, this change would make the process quicker, safer, and less disruptive to Brownsville, Texas. The FRA is accepting public comments about this request until February 28, 2025.
