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. rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (Modification to Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–1999–6254) As a modification to Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) existing Vasona Corridor Light Rail (Vasona Line) Shared Use/Temporal Separation waiver originally granted by FRA on September 26, 2005, VTA requests FRA to modify the original terms and conditions of its permanent waiver of compliance from sections of Title 49 of the CFR. This request is made due to changes that have recently occurred along the Vasona Line, a light rail line that features ‘‘limited connections’’ such as a shared corridor operation and an at-grade diamond rail crossover of the VTA light rail track by a Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) freight spur within this shared corridor. See Statement of Agency Policy Concerning Jurisdiction Over the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:46 Jun 03, 2008 Jkt 214001 Safety of Railroad Passenger Operations and Waivers Related to Shared Use of the Tracks of the General Railroad System by Light Rail and Conventional Equipment, 65 FR 42529 (July 10, 2000). See also Joint Statement of Agency Policy Concerning Shared Use of the Tracks of the General Railroad System by Conventional Railroads and Light Rail Transit Systems, 65 FR 42626 (July 10, 2000). On December 11, 2007, the spur and siding at Milepost (MP) 3.82 that served a wholesale flooring company were abandoned and removed by UPRR, which operates a freight railroad in this corridor but on separate track from the light rail system. This action rendered obsolete the Lincoln/UPRR diamond crossover which allowed UPRR trains the ability to cross the VTA light rail tracks to gain entry into the spur and service the flooring business. With the removal of the spur and siding, the trackage, switch, and diamond, as well as signal equipment at the diamond, are no longer needed and can be removed from service. With the exception of eliminating freight car movements across the light rail tracks, there will be no other changes to VTA light rail operations or UPRR freight rail operations at this location or elsewhere along the Vasona Corridor. Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for their request.
