E9–30561 Filed 12–23–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–22–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration Petition for Waiver of Compliance In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain requirements of its safety standards. 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 from the requirements of Title 49 CFR Part 236, as detailed below. Union Pacific Railroad Company wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 [Docket Number FRA–2009–0117] The Union Pacific Railroad (UP) seeks relief from the requirements of the Rules, Standards, and Instructions, Title 49 CFR Part 236. Specifically, UP seeks relief from the requirements of Subpart A, Rules and Instructions: All Systems, Section 236.109 Time releases, timing relays and timing devices; regarding performance of timing duration test on timers with variable settings at an interval of not less than once every 12 months. UP seeks to extend periodic testing requirements of non-adjustable timers from at least once every 12 months to every 4 years after initial testing has been completed at all interlockings, control points, and other signal locations controlled by microprocessor-based equipment. This request for relief proposes to use alternative locking test procedures at signal locations with microprocessorbased equipment after an initial base line time duration test is performed. The following proposed alternative timer tests will be performed every 4 years after initial testing or program change: • Verification of the Cyclic Redundancy Check/Check Sum/ Universal Control Number of the existing location specific application logic to the previously tested version (baseline testing). • Testing the duration of any timers with variable settings. Alternative test descriptions and procedures for timers with variable settings in microprocessor-based VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:40 Dec 23, 2009 Jkt 220001 equipment would be documented in Carriers Signal Maintenance Standards. Applicant’s justification for relief: The requirement for not less than once every 12 months testing interval at microprocessor controlled signal locations places an unnecessary burden on the carrier and provides no real safety benefit as the application program logic (and timer values) once installed does not change. 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.
