BILLING CODE 4710–15–P
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2009–0074]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with Part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
this document provides the public
notice that by a document dated
November 9, 2012, Canadian National
Railway (CN), the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen
(BLET), and the United Transportation
Union (UTU) have jointly petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
PO 00000
Frm 00139
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
70875
for an extension of their waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal hours of service laws
contained at 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4). FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2009–0074.
In their petition, CN, BLET, and UTU
seek relief from 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4),
which in part requires a train employee
to receive 48 hours off duty after
initiating an on-duty period for 6
consecutive days. Specifically, CN,
BLET, and UTU seek an extension of the
existing waiver to allow a train
employee to initiate an on-duty period
for 6 consecutive days followed by 24
hours off duty. In support of their
request, CN, BLET, and UTU explained
that this type of schedule has not
compromised rail safety. Additionally,
as expressed in the original petition,
work-life balance has continued for
train employees, and the railroad has
benefitted from continued productivity.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
