Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 1 / Monday, January 4, 2010 / Notices
234.257, 234.261, 236.382, and 236.576.
AAR seeks explicit authorization for its
members to conduct the inspections and
tests required by these regulatory
provisions at intervals of up to 35 days,
as opposed to at least once each month.
A copy of AAR’s full petition is
available for review online at https://
www.regulations.gov.
Because the time frames for
conducting various inspections and
tests required by 49 CFR parts 234 and
236 (including the sections at issue in
AAR’s waiver petition) have been the
subject of much discussion in the
industry over the last several years and
also the subject of previous waiver
requests, FRA believes holding a public
hearing on the issues presented by
AAR’s petition would be beneficial.
Accordingly, FRA invites all interested
persons to participate in a public
hearing addressing the time frames of
the tests and inspections that are the
subject of AAR’s request.
