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
from the requirements of Title 49 CFR
part 236, as detailed below.

approach locking (if external) to verify
correct and intended inputs and
outputs from the processor are
maintained.
Alternative locking test descriptions and
procedures would be documented in

provides no real safety benefit as the
application program logic once installed
does not change.

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

Background
The FHWA, in cooperation with the
Iowa Department of Transportation
(Iowa DOT) and Polk County had a NOI
published in the Federal Register on
May 5, 2006 (Volume 71, Number 87) to
complete an environmental impact
statement for roadway improvements in
Polk County, Iowa. On June 1, 2009 a
second NOI was published in the
Federal Register (Volume 74, Number
103) modifying the EIS to a tiered
document.
Due to issues pertaining to cost and
scheduling of the project, the above
mentioned notices will be rescinded,
and a corridor study will be completed
instead. Appropriate environmental
documents will be completed in the
future when and if the project proceeds.
