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. Utah Transit Authority [Supplement to Waiver Docket Number FRA– 1999–6253] As a supplement to the Utah Transit Authority’s (UTA) petition for approval of shared use and waiver of certain FRA regulations (the original shared use waiver was granted by the FRA Railroad Safety Board on August 19, 1999, for the Sandy/Salt Lake TRAX Light Rail Transit line), UTA is amending the terms and conditions of the original waiver by constructing the Mid-Jordan LRT line extension of the current Sandy/Salt Lake TRAX LRT line. This extension will be urban rapid transit light rail, featuring some temporally separated shared trackage operation with the Bingham Branch of the General Railroad System. The Bingham Branch has two short line freight railroads; the Savage Bingham & Garfield Railroad Company and the Utah Railway Company. UTA respectfully requests an additional 5year extension of the current waiver, and a modification of the current waiver to include the Mid-Jordan extension and its new fleet of Siemens S70 TRAX vehicles. UTA submits that the extension and modifications of the waiver sought herein are in the public interest and consistent with railroad safety because UTA will adopt specific policies and procedures that will PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 63535 provide a level of safety equivalent to that provided by full compliance with FRA regulations. UTA submits that this request is consistent with the waiver process for shared use. See Statement of Agency Policy Concerning Jurisdiction Over the Safety of Railroad Passenger Operations and Waivers Related to Shared Use of the Tracks of the General Railroad System by Light Rail and Conventional Equipment, 65 FR 42529 (July 10, 2000); see also Joint Statement of Agency Policy Concerning Shared Use of the Tracks of the General Railroad System by Conventional Railroads and Light Rail Transit Systems, 65 FR 42626 (July 10, 2000). On August 19, 1999, UTA filed a petition for approval of shared use and waiver of certain FRA regulations pursuant to 49 CFR 211.7 for the Sandy/ Salt Lake TRAX Light Rail Transit line. FRA granted the waiver for a period of 5 years until December 13, 2004. On August 12, 2004, UTA filed a petition requesting a 10-year extension of the waiver, and to additionally cover twenty-nine vehicles purchased from the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). On December 20, 2004, FRA granted an extension of the waiver, including the VTA vehicles, for a period of 1 year, effective through December 13, 2005. On June 3, 2005, UTA filed a petition requesting a 5-year extension of the waiver. On December 15, 2005, FRA granted an extension of the waiver for a period of 5 years, effective through December 15, 2010. UTA is expanding its original Sandy/ Salt Lake TRAX LRT line by building the 10.6-mile Mid-Jordan LRT line extension, with temporally separated light rail and freight operations sharing track on the Bingham Branch. As part of this Mid-Jordan extension, UTA will reconstruct this existing Bingham Branch Track and add a new parallel track. This construction will allow that portion of the Mid-Jordan LRT line that runs on the Bingham Branch to utilize two tracks for light rail operations during the temporally separated passenger period from 5am-midnight daily, and all day Saturday and Sunday, with maximum authorized speed of 65 mph. Lastly, UTA will buy a new fleet of Siemens S70 TRAX vehicles that will operate throughout the entire light rail system. In addition to the TRAX vehicles for which UTA has already received a waiver of certain FRA regulations (existing TRAX vehicles), UTA intends to add seventy-seven Siemens S70 light-rail vehicles to its fleet. The S70 vehicles are very similar in nature to the existing TRAX vehicles, with minor differences. E:\FR\FM\15OCN1.SGM 15OCN1
