relief and does not have access to electronic means to request that 
relief, the grantee or subgrantee may contact any FTA regional office 
or FTA headquarters and request that FTA staff submit the petition on 
its behalf.
    A petition for relief shall:
    (a) Identify the grantee or subgrantee and its geographic location;
    (b) Specifically address how an FTA requirement in a policy 
statement, circular, agency guidance or rule will limit a grantee's or

    A petition for relief from administrative requirements will be 
conditionally granted for a period of three (3) business days from the 
date it is submitted to the Emergency Relief Docket. FTA will review 
the petition after the expiration of the three business days and review 
any comments submitted thereto. FTA may contact the grantee or 
subgrantee that submitted the request for relief, or any party that 
submits comments to the docket, to obtain more information prior to 
making a decision. FTA shall then post a decision to the Emergency 
Relief Docket. FTA's decision will be based on whether the petition 
meets the criteria for use of these emergency procedures, the substance 
of the request, and the comments submitted regarding the petition. If 
FTA does not respond to the request for relief to the docket within 
three business days, the grantee or subgrantee may assume its petition 
is granted for a period not to exceed three months until and unless FTA 
states otherwise.
    Pursuant to section 604.2(f) of FTA's charter rule (73 FR 2325, 
Jan. 14, 2008), grantees and subgrantees may assist with evacuations or 
other movement of people that might otherwise be considered charter

declared by the President, governor, or mayor, or in an emergency 
requiring immediate action prior to a formal declaration, even if a 
formal declaration of an emergency is not eventually made by the 
President, governor or mayor. Therefore, a request for relief is not 
necessary in order to provide this service. However, if the emergency 
lasts more than 45 calendar days, the grantee or subgrantee shall 
follow the procedures set out in this notice.
    FTA reserves the right to reopen any docket and reconsider any 
decision made pursuant to these emergency procedures based upon its own
