FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2013–0040. Specifically, CP requests relief from 49 CFR 232.205(c)(1)(ii)(B), Class I brake tests—initial terminal inspection, and 49 CFR 232.207(b)(1), Class IA brake tests—1,000-mile inspection for trains operating in distributive power (DP) mode. CP requests that FRA allow 90 cubic feet per minute (CFM) instead of 60 CFM airflow method leakage tests on trains operating in DP mode. CP states that it has been operating trains without incident under these conditions in Canada since 2010. CP’s testing has demonstrated that: (1) The operation of DP trains with flow up to 90 CFM is safe, and (2) DP operation enhances safer train handling in cold weather. A summary of CP’s testing and experience with higher-flow DP trains in Canada is illustrated in an American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME) paper authored by CP and Wabtec Corporation, presented at the ASME/ American Society of Civil Engineers/ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 2012 Joint Rail Conference, and placed in the subject docket. CP has also included in its petition the proposed operating rule outlining when and how DP trains will be authorized to use the requested maximum 90 CFM air test criteria. 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.
