Federal Railroad Administration
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with Part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
notice is hereby given that the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) received
a request for a waiver of compliance
with certain requirements of its safety
standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party
seeking relief, the regulatory provisions
involved, the nature of the relief being
requested, and the petitioner’s
arguments in favor of relief.
Association of American Railroads
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–
2008–0015)
The Association of American
Railroads (AAR), on behalf of its
member railroads, seeks a waiver of
compliance with the Locomotive Safety
Standards, 49 CFR Parts 229.27(a)(2)
and 229.29(a), as they pertain to the
requirements to clean, repair and test
airbrake equipment associated with
locomotive remote control systems
manufactured by Cattron-Theimeg Inc.

brands); Control Chief Corporation (MU
& Go, Train Chief II, and Plug & Go
brands); and General Electric Company
(Locotrol brand). AAR requests to
change the time interval requirements
for the additional air brake equipment to
align with the requirements for the other
brake equipment on each locomotive,
set by waiver for locomotives equipped
with 26L air brakes at 1,104 days if not
equipped with an air dryer (Docket No.
H–80–7) or 1,472 days if equipped with
an air dryer (Docket No. FRA–2005–
21325) and at 5 years or longer for
locomotives equipped with electronic
air brakes (Docket Nos. FRA–2000–
7367, FRA–2002–13397, FRA–1999–
6252 and FRA–2005–21613).
In support of its application, AAR
states that a precedent has been
established by waiver Docket Number
FRA–2006–24224, which granted relief
to the Canadian National Railway (CN),
extending the clean, repair and test
interval to 1,472 days for remote control
brake valves in the Cattron-Theimeg
Beltpack brand systems. AAR contends
that there is no reason that one railroad
be permitted longer inspection intervals
than other railroads and that there is
also no justification for giving one
remote control system longer inspection
intervals than other systems.
AAR recognizes that the CN waiver
retains the requirement for cleaning air
brake filtering devices every 368 days
and agrees to this restriction. As
attachments to the waiver petition, AAR
also submitted letters from CattronTheimeg recommending a 5-year
inspection interval for their three
remote control locomotive (RCL)
systems, a letter from Control Chief
recommending a 48-month service
interval for all of their RCL air brake
components, and a page from the
