of your investment'' column disclosing what actual costs would have
been if extraordinary expenses were not included. ``Extraordinary
expenses'' refers to expenses that are distinguished by their unusual
nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. Unusual nature means
the expense has a high degree of abnormality and is clearly unrelated
to, or only incidentally related to, the ordinary and typical
activities of the Fund, taking into account the environment in which
the Fund operates. Infrequency of occurrence means the expense is not
reasonably expected to recur in the foreseeable future, taking into
consideration the environment in which the Fund operates. The
environment of a Fund includes such factors as the characteristics of
the industry or industries in which it operates, the geographical
location of its operations, and the nature and extent of government
regulation.
    2. Computation.
    (a) To determine ``Costs of a $10,000 investment,'' multiply the
figure in the ``Cost paid as a percentage of your investment'' column
by the average account value over the period based on an investment of
$10,000 at the beginning of the period.
    (b) Assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.
    (c) In the annual shareholder report, disclose the expense ratio in
the ``Costs paid as a percentage of your investment'' column as it
appears in the Fund's most recent audited financial statements or
financial highlights. In the semi-annual shareholder report, the Fund's
expense ratio in the ``Costs paid as a percentage of your investment
column'' should be calculated in the manner required by Instruction
4(b) to Item 13(a) using the expenses for the Fund's most recent fiscal
half-year. Express the expense ratio on an annualized basis.
    (d) Management's Discussion of Fund Performance. Disclose the
following information unless the Fund is a Money Market Fund. A Money
Market Fund is permitted but not required to disclose some or all of
the following information, so long as the information the Money Market
Fund chooses to disclose meets the requirements of the relevant
paragraph, including any related instructions, and is not incomplete,
inaccurate, or misleading.
    (1) Briefly summarize the key factors that materially affected the
Fund's performance during the reporting period, including the relevant
market conditions and the investment strategies and techniques used by
the Fund's investment adviser.
Instruction
    1. As appropriate, use graphics or text features, such as bullet
lists or tables, to present the key factors. Do not include a lengthy,
generic, or overly broad discussion of the factors that generally
affected market performance during the reporting period.
    (2) Line graph and table.
    (i) Provide a line graph comparing the initial and subsequent
account values at the end of each of the most recently

completed 10 fiscal years of the Fund (or for the life of the Fund, if
shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the
Fund's registration statement. Assume a $10,000 initial investment at
the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based
securities market index for the same period.
    (ii) In a table placed within or next to the graph, provide the
Fund's average annual total returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods
as of the end of the reporting period (or for the life of the Fund, if
shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the
Fund's registration statement. Separately provide the average annual
total returns with and without sales charges, as applicable. Also
provide the average annual total returns of an appropriate broad-based
securities market index for the same periods.
    (iii) Include a statement accompanying the graph and table to the
effect that:
    (A) The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor of the
Fund's future performance. Use text features to make the statement
noticeable and prominent through, for example: graphics, larger font
size, or different colors or font styles.
    (B) The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that
a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund
shares.
Instructions
    1. Line Graph Computation.
    (a) Assume that the initial investment was made at the offering
price last calculated on the business day before the first day of the
first fiscal year.
    (b) Base subsequent account values on the net asset value of the
Fund last calculated on the last business day of the first and each
subsequent fiscal year.
    (c) Calculate the final account value by assuming the account was
closed and redemption was at the price last calculated on the last
business day of the reporting period.
    (d) Base the line graph on the Fund's required minimum initial
investment if that amount exceeds $10,000.
    2. Sales Load. Reflect any sales load (or any other fees charged at
the time of purchasing shares or opening an account) by beginning the
line graph at the amount that actually would be invested (i.e., assume
that the maximum sales load, and other charges deducted from payments,
is deducted from the initial $10,000 investment). For a Fund whose
shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales load, assume the
deduction of the maximum deferred sales load (or other charges) that
would apply for a complete redemption that received the price last
calculated on the last business day of the reporting period. For any
other deferred sales load, assume that the deduction is in the
amount(s) and at the time(s) that the sales load actually would have
been deducted.
    3. Dividends and Distributions. Assume reinvestment of all of the
Fund's dividends and distributions on the reinvestment dates during the
period, and reflect any sales load imposed upon reinvestment of
dividends or distributions or both.
    4. Account Fees. Reflect recurring fees that are charged to all
accounts.
    (a) For any account fees that vary with the size of the account,
assume a $10,000 account size.
    (b) Reflect, as appropriate, any recurring fees charged to
shareholder accounts that are paid other than by redemption of the
Fund's shares.
    (c) Reflect an annual account fee that applies to more than one
Fund by allocating the fee in the following manner: divide the total
amount of account fees collected during the year by the Funds' total
average net assets, multiply the resulting percentage by the average
account value for each Fund and reduce the value of each hypothetical
account at the end of each fiscal year during which the fee was
charged.
    5. Table Computation. Compute average annual total returns in
accordance with Item 26(b)(1). To calculate average annual total
returns without sales charges, do not deduct sales charges, as
applicable, as otherwise described in the instructions to Item
26(b)(1). For the Fund's 1-year annual total return without sales
charges in an annual shareholder report, use the 1-year total return in
the Fund's most recent audited financial highlights.
    6. Appropriate Broad-Based Securities Market Index. For purposes of
this Item, an ``appropriate broad-based securities market index'' is
one that is administered by an organization that is not an affiliated
person of the Fund, its investment adviser, or principal underwriter,
unless the index is widely recognized and used. A ``broad-based'' index
is an index that represents the overall applicable domestic or
international equity or debt markets, as appropriate. Adjust the index
to reflect the reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index,
but do not reflect the expenses of the Fund.
    7. Additional Indexes. A Fund is encouraged to compare its
performance not only to the required broad-based index, but also to
other more narrowly based indexes that reflect the market sectors in
which the Fund invests. A Fund also may compare its performance to an
additional broad-based index, or to a non-securities index (e.g., the
Consumer Price Index), so long as the comparison is not misleading.
    8. Change in Index. If the Fund uses an index that is different
from the one used for the immediately preceding reporting period,
explain the reason(s) for the change and compare the Fund's annual
change in the value of an investment in the hypothetical account with
the new and former indexes.
    9. Interim Periods. The line graph may compare the ending values of
interim periods (e.g., monthly or quarterly ending values), so long as
those periods are after the effective date of the Fund's registration
statement.
    10. Scale. The axis of the graph measuring dollar amounts may use
either a linear or a logarithmic scale.
    11. New Funds. A New Fund (as defined in Instruction 6 to Item 3)
is not required to include the information specified by this Item in
its annual shareholder report, unless Form N-1A (or the Fund's annual
Form N-CSR report) contains audited financial statements covering a
period of at least 6 months.
    12. Change in Investment Adviser. If the Fund has not had the same
investment adviser for the previous 10 fiscal years, the Fund may begin
the line graph on the date that the current adviser began to provide
advisory services to the Fund so long as:
    (a) Neither the current adviser nor any affiliate is or has been in
``control'' of the previous adviser under section 2(a) (9) [15 U.S.C.
80a-2(a)(9)];
    (b) The current adviser employs no officer(s) of the previous
adviser or employees of the previous adviser who were responsible for
providing investment advisory or portfolio management services to the
Fund; and
    (c) The graph is accompanied by a statement explaining that
previous periods during which the Fund was advised by another
investment adviser are not shown.
    13. Multiple Class Funds.
    (a) Provide information about account values in the line graph
under Item 27A(d)(2)(i) for the Class of the Fund to which the report
relates.
    (b) Provide information about the average annual total returns for
Class of the Fund to which the report relates in the table under Item
27A(d)(2)(ii).
    14. Material Changes. If a material change to the Fund has occurred
during the period covered by the line graph and table, such as a change
in investment adviser or a change to the Fund's

investment strategies, the Fund may include a brief legend or footnote
to describe the relevant change and when it occurred.
    15. Availability of Updated Performance Information. If the Fund
provides updated performance information on its website or through
other widely accessible mechanisms, direct shareholders to where they
can find this information.
    (3) If the Fund has a policy or practice of maintaining a specified
level of distributions to shareholders, disclose if the Fund was unable
to meet the specified level of distributions during the reporting
period. Also discuss the extent to which the Fund's distribution policy
resulted in distributions of capital.
    (4) For an Exchange-Traded Fund, provide a table showing the number
of days the Market Price of the Fund shares was greater than the Fund's
net asset value and the number of days it was less than the Fund's net
asset value (i.e., premium or discount) for the most recently completed
calendar year, and the most recently completed calendar quarters since
that year (or the life of the Fund, if shorter). The Fund may omit the
information required by this paragraph if it satisfies the requirements
of paragraphs (c)(1)(ii)-(iv) and (c)(1)(vi) of Rule 6c-11 [17 CFR
270.6c-11(c)(1)(ii)-(iv) and (c)(1)(vi)] under the Investment Company
Act.
Instructions
    1. Provide the information in tabular form.
    2. Express the information as a percentage of the net asset value
of the Exchange-Traded Fund, using separate columns for the number of
days the Market Price was greater than the Fund's net asset value and
the number of days the Market Price was less than the Fund's net asset
value. Round all percentages to the nearest hundredth of one percent.
    3. Adjacent to the table, provide a brief explanation that:
shareholders may pay more than net asset value when they buy Fund
shares and receive less than net asset value when they sell those
shares, because shares are bought and sold at current market prices.
    4. Include a statement that the data presented represents past
performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
    (e) Fund Statistics. Disclose the Fund's net assets, total number
of portfolio holdings, the total advisory fees paid, and, if the Fund
is not a Money Market Fund, portfolio turnover rate as of the end of
the reporting period. The total advisory fees paid by the Fund is only
required to be disclosed in the annual shareholder report. Following
these required statistics, the Fund may provide additional statistics
that the Fund believes would help shareholders better understand the
Fund's activities and operations during the reporting period (e.g.,
tracking error, maturity, duration, average credit quality, or yield).
Instructions
    1. Fund statistics that are required to be disclosed under this
paragraph must precede any additional permitted statistics that the
Fund chooses to include.
    2. The total advisory fees paid is the total amount of investment
advisory fees as disclosed in the Fund's statement of operations as
required by paragraph 2(a) of rule 6-07 of Regulation S-X [17 CFR
210.6-07]). The total investment advisory fees should include any
reductions or reimbursements of such fees.
    3. If the Fund provides a statistic that is otherwise described in
this form, it must follow any associated instructions describing the
calculation method for the relevant statistic.
    4. As appropriate, use graphics or text features, such as bullet
lists or tables, to present the fund statistics.
    5. If the Fund provides a statistic in a shareholder report that is
otherwise included in, or could be derived from, the Fund's financial
statements or financial highlights, the fund must use or derive such
statistic from the Fund's most recent financial statements or financial
highlights.
    6. A Fund may briefly describe the significance or limitations of
any disclosed statistics in a parenthetical or similar presentation.
    7. If a Fund that is a Multiple Class Fund provides a statistic
that is calculated based on the Fund's performance or fees (e.g., yield
or tracking error), show the statistic for the Class of the Fund to
which the report relates. A Fund can provide a statistic regarding
Class performance only if such Class has one year of performance.
    8. A Fund may include additional statistics only if they are
reasonably related to the Fund's investment strategy.
    (f) Graphical Representation of Holdings. One or more tables,
charts, or graphs depicting the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as of
the end of the reporting period, by reasonably identifiable categories
(e.g., type of security, industry sector, geographic regions, credit
quality, or maturity) showing the percentage of (i) net asset value,
(ii) total investments, or (iii) total exposure (depicting long and
short exposures to each category, to the extent applicable)
attributable to each. The categories and the basis of the presentation
should be disclosed in a manner reasonably designed to depict clearly
the types of investments made by the Fund, given its investment
objectives. A Fund that uses ``total exposure'' as a basis for
representing its holdings may also include a ``net exposure''
presentation as well as a brief explanation of these presentations. If
the Fund depicts portfolio holdings according to the credit quality, it
should include a brief description of how the credit quality of the
holdings were determined, and if credit ratings, as defined in section
3(a)(60) of the Securities Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. 78(c)(a)(60)],
assigned by a credit rating agency, as defined in section 3(a)(61) of
the Securities Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. 78(c)(a)(61)], are used,
concisely explain how they were identified and selected. This
description should be included near, or as part of, the graphical
representation. The Fund may also list, in a table or chart that
appears near the graphical representation of holdings, the Fund's 10
largest portfolio holdings. A Fund that includes a list of its 10
largest portfolio holdings may also show, as part of this presentation,
the percentage of the Fund's (i) net asset value, (ii) total
investments, or (iii) total exposure, as applicable, attributable to
each of the holdings listed.
    (g) Material Fund Changes. Briefly describe any material change,
with respect to any of the following items, that has occurred since the
beginning of the reporting period. The Fund may also disclose, but is
not required to disclose, material changes it plans to make in
connection with updating its prospectus under section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act for the current fiscal year. The Fund also may describe
other material changes that it would like to disclose to its
shareholders or changes that may be helpful for investors to understand
the fund's operations and/or performance over the reporting period.
    (1) The Fund's name (as described in Item 1(a)(1));
    (2) The Fund's investment objectives or goals (as described in Item
2);
    (3) The Fund's annual operating expenses, shareholder fees, or
maximum account fee (as described in Item 3), including the termination
or introduction of an expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangement;
    (4) The Fund's principal investment strategies (as described in
Item 4(a));

    (5) The principal risks of investing in the Fund (as described in
Item 4(b)(1)); and
    (6) The Fund's investment adviser(s) (as described in Item 5(a)).
Instructions
    1. Provide a concise description of each material change that the
fund describes as specified in this Item 27A(g). Provide enough detail
to allow shareholders to understand each change and how each change may
affect shareholders.
    2. Include a legend to the effect of the following: ``This is a
summary of certain changes [and planned changes] to the Fund since
[date]. For more complete information, you may review the Fund's next
prospectus, which we expect to be available by [date] at [___] or upon
request at [___].'' Provide the toll-free telephone number and, as
applicable, email address that shareholders can use to request copies
of the Fund's prospectus. If the updated prospectus will be made
available on a website, provide the address of the central site where a
link to the prospectus will be available.
    3. A Fund is not required to disclose a material change that
occurred during the reporting period and otherwise would be required to
be disclosed if the Fund already disclosed this change in its last
annual shareholder report because, for example, the change occurred
before the last annual shareholder report was transmitted to
shareholders or the Fund planned to make the change in connection with
updating its prospectus under section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act at
that time (and chose to disclose it in the last annual report).
    (h) Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants. If the Fund is
required to disclose on Form N-CSR the information that Item 304(a)(1)
of Regulation S-K [17 CFR 229.304] requires, provide:
    (1) A statement of whether the former accountant resigned, declined
to stand for re-election, or was dismissed and the date thereof; and
    (2) A brief, plain English description of disagreements(s) with the
former accountant during the Fund's two most recent fiscal years and
any subsequent interim period that the Fund discloses on Form N-CSR.
    (i) Availability of Additional Information. Provide a brief, plain
English statement that certain additional Fund information is available
on [the Fund's] website. Include plain English references to, as
applicable, the fund's prospectus, financial information, holdings, and
proxy voting information. A Fund also may refer to other information
available on this website if it reasonably believes that shareholders
likely would view the information as important.
Instructions
    1. Provide means of facilitating shareholders' access to the
additional information in accordance with Instruction 10 to Item
27A(a).
    2. If the Fund provides prominent links to the additional
information to which it refers under this Item 27A(i) on the same
central site the Fund discloses under Item 27A(b), the Fund may state
that materials are available at the website address included at the
beginning of its annual or semi-annual shareholder report. The Fund
would not need to provide other means of facilitating shareholders'
access to the relevant additional information under these
circumstances.
    (j) Householding. A Fund may include disclosure required under rule
30e-1(e)(3) [17 CFR 270.30e-1(e)(3)] under the Securities Act to
explain how shareholders who have consented to receive a single annual
or semi-annual shareholder report at a shared address may revoke this
consent.

    Item 7. Financial Statements and Financial Highlights for Open-End
Management Investment Companies.
    (a) An open-end management investment company registered on Form N-
1A [17 CFR 239.15A and 17 CFR 274.11A] must file its most recent annual
or semi-annual financial statements required, and for the periods

highlights need not be audited.
    Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants for Open-End
Management Investment Companies.
    An open-end management investment company registered on Form N-1A
[17 CFR 239.15A and 17 CFR 274.11A] must disclose the information
concerning changes in and disagreements with accountants and on
accounting and financial disclosure required by Item 304 of Regulation
S-K [17 CFR 229.304].

    Item 9. Proxy Disclosures for Open-End Management Investment
Companies.
    If any matter was submitted during the period covered by the report
to a vote of shareholders of an open-end management investment company
registered on Form N-1A [17 CFR 239.15A and 17 CFR 274.11A], through
the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, the company must furnish the
following information:
    (1) The date of the meeting and whether it was an annual or special
meeting.
    (2) If the meeting involved the election of directors, the name of
each director elected at the meeting and the name of each other
director whose term of office as a director continued after the
meeting.
    (3) A brief description of each matter voted upon at the meeting
and the number of votes cast for, against or withheld, as well as the
number of abstentions and broker non-votes as to each such matter,
including a separate tabulation with respect to each matter or nominee
for office.
    Instruction. The solicitation of any authorization or consent
(other than a proxy to vote at a shareholders' meeting) with respect to
any matter shall be deemed a submission of such matter to a vote of
shareholders within the meaning of this Item.
    Item 10. Remuneration Paid to Directors, Officers, and Others of
Open-End Management Investment Companies.
    Unless the following information is disclosed as part of the
financial statements included in Item 7, an open-end management
investment company registered on Form N-1A [17 CFR 239.15A and 17 CFR

during the period covered by the report to:
    (1) All directors and all members of any advisory board for regular

    Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment
Advisory Contract.
    If the board of directors approved any investment advisory contract
during the Fund's most recent fiscal half-year, discuss in reasonable
detail the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto
that formed the basis for the board's approval. Include the following
in the discussion:
    (1) Factors relating to both the board's selection of the
investment adviser and approval of the advisory fee and any other
amounts to be paid by the Fund under the contract. These factors would
include, but not be limited to, a discussion of the nature, extent, and
quality of the services to be provided by the investment adviser; the
investment performance of the Fund and the investment adviser; the
costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the
investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the
Fund; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the
Fund grows; and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for
the benefit of Fund investors. Also indicate in the discussion whether
the board relied upon comparisons of the services to be rendered and
the amounts to be paid under the contract with those under other
investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other
investment advisers with other registered investment companies or other
types of clients (e.g., pension funds and other institutional
investors). If the board relied upon such comparisons, describe the
comparisons and how they assisted the board in concluding that the
contract should be approved; and
    (2) If applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the
investment adviser from the relationship with the Fund such as soft
dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Fund or
its investment adviser in return for allocating Fund brokerage.
    Instructions.
    (1) Board approvals covered by this Item include both approvals of
new investment advisory contracts and approvals of contract renewals.
Investment advisory contracts covered by this Item include subadvisory
contracts.
    (2) Conclusory statements or a list of factors will not be
considered sufficient disclosure. Relate the factors to the specific
circumstances of the Fund and the investment advisory contract and
state how the board evaluated each factor. For example, it is not
sufficient to state that the board considered the amount of the
investment advisory fee without stating what the board concluded about
the amount of the fee and how that conclusion affected its decision to
approve the contract.
    (3) If any factor enumerated in this Item is not relevant to the
board's evaluation of an investment advisory contract, explain the
reasons why that factor is not relevant;

[Docket No. FRA-2001-11213, Notice No. 24]

Drug and Alcohol Testing: Determination of Minimum Random Testing
Rates for 2020

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notification of determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notification of determination announces FRA's minimum
annual random drug and minimum annual random alcohol testing rates for
covered employees and for maintenance-of-way (MOW) employees for
calendar year 2020.

DATES: This determination takes effect January 23, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerald Powers, FRA Drug and Alcohol
Program Manager, W33-310, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>); or Sam
Noe, FRA Drug and Alcohol Program Specialist, Federal Railroad
Administration (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FRA is announcing the 2020 minimum annual
random drug and alcohol testing rates for covered service employees,
and the 2020 minimum annual random drug and alcohol testing rates for
MOW employees. For calendar year 2020, the minimum annual random
testing rates for covered service employees will continue to be 25
percent for drugs and 10 percent for alcohol, while the minimum annual
random testing rates for MOW employees will continue to be 50 percent
for drugs and 25 percent for alcohol.
    To set its minimum annual random testing rates for each year, FRA
examines the last two complete calendar years of railroad industry drug
and alcohol program data submitted to its Management Information System
(MIS). The rail industry's random drug testing positive rate for
covered service employees (employees subject to the hours of service
laws and regulations) remained below 1.0 percent for 2017 and 2018. The
Administrator has therefore determined the minimum annual random drug
testing rate for the period January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020,
will remain at 25 percent for covered service employees. The industry-
wide random alcohol testing violation rate for covered service
employees remained below 0.5 percent for 2017 and 2018. Therefore, the
Administrator has determined the minimum random alcohol testing rate
will remain at 10 percent for covered service employees for the period
January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. Because these rates
represent minimums, railroads may conduct FRA random testing at higher
rates.
    MOW employees became subject to FRA random drug and alcohol testing
in June 2017. The Administrator has determined that the minimum annual
random testing rates initially established for MOW employees will
remain in effect because FRA does not have MIS data for two consecutive
years that represents their industry-wide performance rates.
Specifically, MOW employees became subject to FRA random testing
effective June 12, 2017, and the resulting 2017 MIS data FRA received
reflected industry-wide MOW random testing rates that were below the
annual minimum rates of 50 percent (drugs) and 25 percent (alcohol) for
MOW employees. Therefore, for the period January 1, 2020, through
December 31, 2020, the minimum annual random drug testing rate will
continue to be 50 percent for MOW employees, and the minimum annual
random alcohol testing rate will continue to be 25 percent for MOW
employees. As with covered service employees, because these rates
represent minimums, railroads may conduct FRA random testing of MOW
employees at higher rates.

    Issued in Washington, DC.
Ronald L. Batory,
Administrator, Federal Railroad Administration.
