Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws, 3470-3471 [E7-1048]

Download as PDF ycherry on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES 3470 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 16 / Thursday, January 25, 2007 / Notices effects of both the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) are felt. BNSF says it currently receives 200 to 400 rail cars per day through the El Paso gateway and the capacity of the existing facility in El Paso is inadequate to efficiently handle the current rail volumes. As reasons for the requested relief, BNSF cites poorly laid tracks, short tracks, inadequate crossover capability, and numerous street crossings that cut through the facility. In addition, BNSF states that El Paso is a ‘‘bottleneck’’ that causes delays to rail traffic in international commerce on both sides of the border, and that granting the requested waiver will have no effect on railroad safety.
