[Docket Number FRA–2006–25765]
Union Pacific Railroad Company;
Notice of Withdrawal of Petition for
Waiver of Compliance and
Cancellation of Public Hearing
On November 28, 2006, FRA
published a document in the Federal
Register announcing that it had received
a petition from the Union Pacific
Railroad Company (UP) seeking a
waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of Brake System Safety
Standards for Freight and Other Nonpassenger Trains and Equipment, End of
Train Devices, Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 232; Freight Car
Safety Standards, 49 CFR Part 215; and
Locomotive Safety Standards, 49 CFR
Part 229. 71 FR 68885. The requested
relief would have permitted run-through
trains that originate in Mexico and are
interchanged with the UP at the Laredo,
Texas Gateway, to operate into the
interior of the United States without
having to perform additional train or
locomotive inspections at the U.S./
Mexican border. In response to the
November 28, 2006 notice, an interested
party requested a public hearing on the
issue and FRA subsequently scheduled
a public hearing for February 7, 2007.
72 FR 185 (January 3, 2007).
By a letter dated January 25, 2007, the
UP has withdrawn its petition for
waiver.
Accordingly, the public hearing
scheduled for February 7, 2007, in
Laredo, Texas is hereby canceled.
