Download as PDF pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 71 / Friday, April 13, 2007 / Notices interlockings required by the FRA place an undue burden on the railroad. Due to train traffic, some large control points can take a month or more to complete the 2-year locking tests. Once a processor-based system has been tested and locking tests documented on installation, re-testing should not be required since the logic continues to operate in the same manor as it did when installed and the operation does not change.

Additionally, one copy of the protest shall be furnished to the applicant at the address listed above.
