Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws, 6083-6084 [E9-2328]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 4, 2009 / Notices Union Pacific Railroad Company (Docket Number FRA–2008–0166) The Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) seeks a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of 49 CFR part 218, Railroad Operating Practices. Specifically, UP is requesting a waiver of Blue Signal Requirements as prescribed in 49 CFR 218.25 Workers on a main track, in Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO. These tracks are in the middle of the Kansas City facilities and are used for functions normally performed on yard tracks. Trains passing through the Kansas City Terminal stop for fuel, locomotive inspection, or adding or removing power from the train. To perform this work on the main track, UP must provide blue signal protection under 49 CFR 218.25. This request is for the following track locations: • Main 1 and Main 2 between Manchester and Troost. (MX279– MX281); • Main 1 and Main 2 at 18th St. Between KX004 and KX006; • Mainline at 10th St. (KX287– KX289). UP is requesting flexibility to treat these main tracks at the Kansas City facilities as tracks other than main tracks so they can have the option of protecting its employees working on, under, or between rolling equipment in accordance with § 218.25 Workers on a main track, or § 218.27 Workers on track other than main track, or a combination of both. UP believes that the safest and most efficient method of protecting its employees in the Kansas City facilities is through the use of a combination of blue signal protection and remotely controlled switches. UP believes that this request is similar to a waiver originally granted to the SP at El Paso, TX, and renewed to the UP under Docket Number FRA–2000–7669. UP states they have operated under the requirements of that waiver without any adverse effect on safety of operations and would like to have the same conditions for this request. 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.
