The Secretary at least shall provide in those regulations standards for bridge safety equipment, including nets, walkways, handrails, and safety lines, and requirements for the use of vessels when work is performed on bridges located over bodies of water.
(Pub. L. 103–272, § 1(e), July 5, 1994, 108 Stat. 876.)
The words “Not later than June 22, 1989” are substituted for “within one year after June 22, 1988” for clarity.
