[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0096]

    The Township of Montclair, New Jersey (Township), and the New 
Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) jointly seek a temporary waiver of 
compliance from certain provisions of the Use of Locomotive Horns at 
Highway-Rail Grade Crossings, 49 CFR part 222. The Township intends to 
convert its Pre-Rule Partial Quiet Zone that it had previously 
continued under the provisions of 49 CFR 222.41(c)(1) to a 24-hour New 
Quiet Zone. The Township is seeking a waiver for the requirement to 
construct and complete a New Quiet Zone by June 24, 2010, as required 
by 49 CFR 222.41(c)(2) and for an extension of such date to September 
30, 2010.
    The Township states that it has worked diligently to complete the 
necessary improvements to establish a New Quiet Zone. There are 12 
crossings in the existing Pre-Rule Partial Quiet Zone. 6 of these 
crossings will be treated with Supplementary Safety Measures (SSM) as 
follows: 3 crossings with gates and medians, 2 crossings with four-
quadrant gates, and 1 crossing that will be reconfigured from a two-
street with gates to a one-way streets with gates.
    The Township and NJT have cooperatively worked to implement the 
planned improvements; however, due to the number of crossings and the 
complexity of the project, all of the planned improvements will not be 
completed by June 24, 2010. The Township requests that the existing 
Pre-Rule Partial Quiet Zone with hours from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. be allowed 
to continue until September 30, 2010, by which time all of the 
improvements will have been completed.
    The Township states that SSMs consisting of gated crossings with 
medians will be completed at 3 of the crossings by June 24, 2010. It 
also notes that the existing Pre-Rule Partial Quiet Zone has been in 
existence since 1973, and that the residents and business owners have 
become accustomed to the absence of the horn during these hours. There 
has been only 1 grade crossing collision (property damage only) during 
the last 10 years. The Township and NJT feel that the extension of the 
Pre-Rule Partial Quiet Zone until September 30, 2010, will not pose any 
additional risk to public health and safety.
