Attach the vent tube to the BAIID and pass an air sample of at least 2 liters through the bubble tube into the heated water and thence into the BAIID. The flow rate must not be high enough to cause a mechanical transfer of water to the BAIID. The vehicle must not start. * * * * * f. Filtered 0.032 BrAC sample. Prepare a 1 to 2 inch diameter 3 to 5 inches long tube loosely packed with an active absorbent material. Use porous plugs (such as cotton) to retain the absorbent material in the tube. Pack the tube so that a person can easily blow 2 liters of air through the assembly within 5 seconds. Test the absorbent by passing a 2 liter 0.032 BrAC sample though the assembly within 5 seconds. If the air passing out of the BAIID is found to have a concentration of 0.006 BrAC or less, prepare 5 tubes packed in the same manner, fit separately to the BAIID and test at 0.032 BrAC. The vehicle must not start. * * * * * 4.

[FR Doc. 2015–07292 Filed 3–27–15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA–2015–0021] Petition for Waiver of Compliance In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated November 20, 2014, the Transportation Technology Center (TTCI) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 231.136(c)(4) and 231.126(c)(4). FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2015–0021. Industry efforts are underway to develop industry standards for natural gas fuel tenders (NGFT) as fuel sources for locomotives. FRA has provided funding for a program to complement work conducted by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) NGFT PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Technical Advisory Group (TAG) in developing industry standards for NGFT tenders. This effort is focused on documenting (measuring and analyzing) the worst-case displacement environment between a common linehaul locomotive and a trailing vehicle (simulating a fuel tender). This petition for a temporary waiver has been filed so that a test project can be conducted to measure and an understanding can be had of the tri-axial displacement environment of interconnections (e.g., gas, cooling system loop, electrical, air, etc.) between the locomotive and adjacent tender vehicle during normal full-scale freight train operations in revenue service. This waiver also serves to give notice that the instrumentation brackets will be mounted to and partially obstruct the safety appliances on the locomotive and box car. The safety appliances affected will be the A-end end platform and the A-end handhold on the box car, and, in addition, a test fixture bracket will be attached to the uprights that secure horizontal handholds on the rear end of the locomotive. The test program outlined in the petition includes measurement of relative longitudinal, lateral, and vertical displacements and accelerations between the locomotive and simulated fuel tender. Data gathered will provide input for testing future fuel transfer components (e.g., hoses, wires, and connectors for gas/heat exchange fluids/electrical power/control) planned for use on the next generation of NGFT vehicles. Canadian National Railway (CN) is supplying the locomotive and high-cube box car for this testing. The locomotive’s long hood end will be connected to and leading the box car’s A-end. The intent is for both to be used throughout the testing from Chicago, IL, to Memphis, TN, and back. The requested duration of the waiver is to allow the testing from Chicago, IL, to Memphis, TN, and back to be completed. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, Washington, DC, 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays. Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a E:\FR\FM\30MRN1.SGM 30MRN1
