The individual petition is described below, including the party seeking approval, the requisite docket number and a brief summary of the petition. BNSF Railway Company Docket Number FRA–2006–23687 The BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) submitted a petition for approval of a revised version (version 3.0) of their already approved PSP for the Electronic Train Management System (ETMS). BNSF asserts that the revised PSP demonstrates that ETMS has been designed to incrementally scale out functionality and applicability to different railroad territory type configurations. Consequently, ETMS and the PSP has evolved over time as new functionality was added to the system and tested on different operational scenarios that exist on the BNSF rail network. BNSF also believes the revised PSP supports the requirements as described in 49 CFR Part 236, subpart H regarding the ‘‘Standards for Development and Use of PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Processor-Based Signal and Train Control Systems’’ to receive approval for implementation of the ETMS II, ETMS IV and ETMS VI configuration types. The revised PSP provides descriptions of: The ETMS itself, ETMS safety process and analyses, validation and verification processes used during development of ETMS, and operational and support requirements and procedures. Interested parties are invited to participate in this safety review by providing written information or comments pertinent to FRA’s consideration of the above petition for approval of a revised PSP.
