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. Union Pacific Railroad Company sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES [Docket Number FRAB2006B24646] The Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) seeks an extension of the relief previously granted under Docket Number FRA–2006–24646. The original request granted conditional approval on January 18, 2008, for relief from the requirements of the Rules, Standards and Instructions, Title 49 CFR part 236, § 236.586—Daily or after trip test. Specifically, UP sought to change the administration of the first sentence in paragraph (a) from Aintervals of not more than 2 months’’ to ‘‘intervals of not more than 92 days’’ for all cab signal devices on locomotives operated on UP. Applicant’s justification for the extension: UP has been operating under the requirements set forth in the conditions of the original approval for the past 18 months and have had no adverse effects on the safety of operations. The extension will continue to maximize overall safety by performing maintenance in the best working environment with the highest skilled and best trained personnel, which can best be achieved by performing maintenance in conjunction with the 92-day periodic inspection.
