The Rede Ferroviária Federal, Sociedade Anônima (RFFSA) ((ポルトガル語:Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A.), Federal Railroad Network) was the state owned national railway company of Brazil created from ''Brazilian Federal Law #3.115'' on March 16, 1957, after several railroads were nationalized by the Brazilian government. However, the railroad did not take full effect until September 30, 1957. The RFFSA unified 42 railways together (both on documents and actual railroads), creating a regional system composed of 22 railroads. The goal of the RFFSA was to promote and advance the railroad sector of Brazil, creating a north-south-east-west rail network in all five regions of Brazil. But it failed and the RFFSA only served four of the five regions with a north-south rail network within 19 units of the federation of Brazil. By 1999, the railroad was liquidated and privatized, with the last liquidations occurring in 2007. ==Federal Authority== According to ''Article 7 of Law #3.115'' which created the RFFSA, the company was given the following powers for the operation of the railroads: *The company must manage, operate, maintain, refurbish, expand, improve and maintain traffic on the railways it built. *Introduce (at face value) bearer bonds of its own issue or the issue of the companies that will be organized with a limit of two for paid-in capital, with or without a guarantee from the Treasury. *Subscription of capital from companies under its control and the consent to grant them loans or guarantees. *Organize and supervise the management of the companies under its control, as well as its methods and procedures for operation under contract to provide services to guarantee these companies technical assistance, accounting, legal, and administrative services. *Propose revisions and modifications of tariffs, as necessary, to the Departamento Nacional de Estradas de Ferro who would review the proposals and submit the final approval to the Ministro da Viação e Obras Públicas. *Create a business plan and approve the budgets of the companies under its control, monitoring their respective operations. *Restructure staffing quarters of personnel according to the needs of service and regional standards of living set on a fixed number in the companies’ organization, remuneration, rights and duties. *Conduct all the works of studies and construction of railroads which have been approved by the União for which they are provided resources. ''The following powers were given to the RFFSA from Law #6.171 in 1974'' *Monitor the railway services throughout the country. *Promote a coordination of studies and tariff costs for general rail transport. *Create a unification and standardization of the Brazilian Railway System. *Promote a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the national railway system. *Conduct research relating to the improvement of rail activities in the country. *Enforce the railway into the Plano Nacional de Viação. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RFFSA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
