FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2013– 0055. Metra seeks a waiver from the requirements 49 CFR 236.566, Locomotive of each train operating in train stop, train control or cab signal territory; equipped. Specifically, Metra seeks FRA’s approval to operate equipped Metra Heritage Corridor District (HCD) trains on Metra’s Rock Island District (RID) from Joliet Coach Yard at Control Point (CP) Richards, Milepost (MP) 39.9 to the switch at the wye at UD Tower, MP 40.1 with the cab signals cut out. This petition for waiver is requested because HCD trains are positioned overnight at the Joliet Coach Yard on the RID. The RID automatic cab signal (ACS) territory begins at Joliet, MP 40.2, and ends at Blue Island, MP 14.5. Metra’s HCD trains operate on nonequipped territory, which begins in E:\FR\FM\14JNN1.SGM 14JNN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 36014 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 115 / Friday, June 14, 2013 / Notices Joliet, MP 37.3, and ends at Chicago Union Station, MP 0.0. The affected trains would operate out of Joliet Yard with cab signals cut out for 1,100 feet up to the wye at UD Tower. To operate with cab signals on HCD trains would require Metra to train approximately 20 engineers on cab signal indications. In order for Metra to test HCD trains, a test loop would need to be installed at Joliet for trains operating in equipped territory less than 1,100 feet. Metra proposes that movement between CP Richards and the wye at UD Tower for HCD trains with the cab signals cut out will be made with an absolute block established in advance of all HCD trains. Additionally, the HCD trains movements will be made at restricted speed across the equipped territory.

(the Act). The application contains all information required by the Act to initiate the licensing review and approval process. Background According to the Act, a deepwater port is a fixed or floating man-made structure other than a vessel, or a group of structures, including all components and equipment, including pipelines, pumping or compressor stations, service platforms, buoys, mooring lines, and similar facilities that are proposed as part of a deepwater port, located beyond State seaward boundaries and used or intended for use as a port or terminal for the transportation, storage, and further handling of oil or natural gas for transportation to, or from, any State.1 The Maritime Administrator possesses the authority to license a deepwater port (by delegation from the Secretary of Transportation, published on June 18, 2003 [68 FR 36496]). Statutory and regulatory requirements for licensing appear in 33 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. and 33 CFR part 148. Under delegations from, and agreements between, the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Homeland Security, applications are jointly processed by MarAd and USCG. Each application is considered on its merits. In accordance with 33 U.S.C. 1504(f) for all applications, MarAd and USCG, 1 On December 20, 2012, the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2012 (Title III, Sec. 312) amended Section 3(9)(A) of the Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (33 U.S.C. 1502(9)(A) to insert the words ‘‘or from’’ before the words ‘‘any State’’ in the definition of Deepwater Port. This amendment grants MarAd the authority to license the construction of Deepwater Ports for the export of oil and natural gas from domestic sources within the United States to foreign markets abroad.

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 May 16, 2013, the Commuter Rail Division of the Regional 
Transportation Authority (Metra) and its operating company, the 
Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation, have 
petitioned 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--Rules, Standards, and 
Instructions Governing the Installation, Inspection, Maintenance, and 
Repair of Signal and Train Control Systems, Devices, and Appliances. 
FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0055.
    Metra seeks a waiver from the requirements 49 CFR 236.566, 
Locomotive of each train operating in train stop, train control or cab 
signal territory; equipped. Specifically, Metra seeks FRA's approval to 
operate equipped Metra Heritage Corridor District (HCD) trains on 
Metra's Rock Island District (RID) from Joliet Coach Yard at Control 
Point (CP) Richards, Milepost (MP) 39.9 to the switch at the wye at UD 
Tower, MP 40.1 with the cab signals cut out.
    This petition for waiver is requested because HCD trains are 
positioned overnight at the Joliet Coach Yard on the RID. The RID 
automatic cab signal (ACS) territory begins at Joliet, MP 40.2, and 
ends at Blue Island, MP 14.5. Metra's HCD trains operate on nonequipped 
territory, which begins in

Joliet, MP 37.3, and ends at Chicago Union Station, MP 0.0. The 
affected trains would operate out of Joliet Yard with cab signals cut 
out for 1,100 feet up to the wye at UD Tower. To operate with cab 
signals on HCD trains would require Metra to train approximately 20 
engineers on cab signal indications. In order for Metra to test HCD 
trains, a test loop would need to be installed at Joliet for trains 
operating in equipped territory less than 1,100 feet. Metra proposes 
that movement between CP Richards and the wye at UD Tower for HCD 
trains with the cab signals cut out will be made with an absolute block
