[FR Doc. 2011–23770 Filed 9–15–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA–2011–0052] mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Petition for Waiver of Compliance In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated August 25, 2011, Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) has submitted information to amend and clarify the scope of a June 14, 2011, petition to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 236. FRA had assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2011–0052 as published in Federal Register (Ref. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:26 Sep 15, 2011 Jkt 223001 Volume 76, No. 135, Thursday, July 14, 2011, Page 41556). NS seeks a waiver of compliance from the cab signal system requirements found in 49 CFR 236.566, Locomotive of each train operating in train stop, train control, or cab signal territory; equipped. Specifically, NS seeks relief to operate nonequipped engines used in switching and transfer service, with or without cars such as work trains, wreck trains, ballast cleaners to and from work, and engines and rail diesel cars moving to and from shops, in the following locations with all movements at restricted speeds not exceeding 15 mph. 1. Operations on the Pittsburgh Line, Harrisburg Division, from CP Cannon at MP–PT 118.9 near Duncannon, PA, to CP Harrisburg at MP–PT 105.1 near Harrisburg, PA. 2. Operations on the Pittsburgh Line, Pittsburgh Division, from CP Cannon at MP–PT 118.9 near Duncannon, PA, to CP Solomon at MP–PT 352.5 near Pittsburgh, PA, with an absolute block to be established in advance of each movement of foreign trains and engines between CP Bloom at MP–PT 351.6 near Pittsburgh, PA, and CP Solomon. 3. Operations on the Fort Wayne Line, Pittsburgh Division, from CP Rochester at MP–PC 29.5, near East Rochester, PA, to CP Alliance at MP–PC 83.2., with an absolute block to be established in advance of each nonequipped movement. 4. Operations on the Conemaugh Line, Pittsburgh Division, from CP Conpit at MP–LC 0.0, near Bolivar, PA, to CP Kiski at MP–LC 47.8, near Freeport, PA, with an absolute block to be established in advance of each nonequipped movement. NS argues that relief is in the public interest. The waiver of 49 CFR 236.566 requirements in these areas is important to maintaining efficient rail operations in the region. Exemptions have been previously granted for the operation of nonequipped locomotives in cab signal system territory at nearby locations and the relief requested in this application is a consistent extension of those currently granted exceptions.
