The City states that it is attempting to determine required modifications and make the necessary modifications to the crossing in question to continue the existing locomotive horn sounding restrictions. The City anticipates a cost of $300,000 to $500,000, to make the necessary upgrades in order to be in compliance with FRA regulations. The City states that it is currently negotiating with the Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS) to garner its support for the waiver. The City also states that NS will notify FRA if it has an objection. The City decided to file the petition alone in order to expedite the process, and that a joint submission by the City and railroad is not likely to significantly contribute to public safety. 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. All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2008– 0087) and may be submitted by any of the following methods: • Web site: https:// www.regulations.gov.
