(CSX) 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 City intends to establish a Pre-Rule Quiet Zone that it had previously continued under the provisions of 49 CFR 222.41(c)(1). The City is seeking a waiver for the requirement to construct and complete a Pre-Rule Quiet Zone by June 24, 2010, as required by 49 CFR 222.41(c)(2) and for an extension of such date to September 1, 2011. In addition, the City, CSX and the City of Richlawn, KY (Richlawn), seek a temporary waiver from provisions of 49 CFR 222.41(c) so that a single public highway-rail grade crossing in Richlawn, that meets the definition of a Pre-Rule Quiet Zone, but the required notices or other actions have not been submitted, could be included in St. Matthews’ Pre-Rule Quiet Zone. There are 5 crossings in the existing City’s Pre-Rule Quiet Zone extending from Chenoweth Lane (MP T5.43) to Thierman Lane (MP T6.12) on the CSX Louisville Division, LouisvilleCincinnati Subdivision. All of the crossings are equipped with flashing lights and gates, constant warning time train detection circuitry and power-out indicators. Two of these crossings will be treated with Supplementary Safety Measures (SSM) as follows: 1 crossing with gates and non-traversable curb medians and 1 crossing with fourquadrant gates. One of the SSMs has been installed (gates and nontraversable curb medians on Thierman Lane) and the other (four-quadrant gates on Chenoweth Lane) will be completed within the October 2011 to April 2012 timeframe and hopefully sooner.
