[Docket Number FRA–2015–0106]
Petition for Special Approval of
Alternate Standard
In accordance with Part 232 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
this document provides the public
notice that by a document dated
September 17, 2015, the National
Railroad Passenger Corporation
(Amtrak) has requested a Special
Approval of an alternate standard for 49
CFR 238.311(a)—Single car test, as
prescribed in 49 CFR 238.21(b)—Special
approval procedure. FRA assigned the
request Docket Number FRA–2015–
0106.
Amtrak requests permission to
continue to maintain and test the 9600
series cab coach car CCB II brake
systems under the requirements of 49
CFR 229.29 as an alternative
maintenance procedure that provides
equivalent safety to the standard in
APTA–PR–M–S–005–98 Rev 2.1
outlined in 49 CFR 238.311.
Amtrak’s fleet of 9600 series cab
coach cars was originally equipped with
a 26–C (car) type of brake system along
with additional 26–L (locomotive) style
of control valves in the cab, to control
the brake system when in push/pull
service. Amtrak previously maintained
and tested the 26–C style of valves per
49 CFR 238.309 and the 26–L style of
valves per 49 CFR 229.29, along with
the requirement of FRA Form F6180–
49A (‘‘Blue Card’’) to be located in the
cab. The main reservoir leakage tests
and the brake cylinder leakage tests
were conducted per APTA–PR–M–S–
005–98 Rev 2.1.
The cab cars are presently equipped
with New York Air Brake’s CCB II brake
system designed for locomotives and are
being maintained and tested under the
requirements of 49 CFR 229.29. The
main reservoir leakage test and the
brake cylinder leakage test continue to
be tested per APTA–PR–M–S–005–98
Rev 2.1. The 92-day and annual test
procedures for these CCB II-equipped
cab cars are found in documents
submitted to the public docket.
Copies of these documents and the
petition, as well as any written
communications concerning the
petition, are 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,
