[Docket Number FRA–2013–0082]
Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System
In accordance with Part 235 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document
provides the public notice that by a
document dated July 16, 2013, the Long
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Island Rail Road (LIRR) and the New
York & Atlantic Railway (NYA) jointly
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval
for the discontinuance or modification
of a signal system. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA–2013–
0082.
Applicants:
Long Island Rail Road, Mr. Kevin
Tomlinson, Chief Engineer, 93–59
183rd Street, Hollis, NY 11428;
New York & Atlantic Railway, Mr. Paul
Victor, President, 68–1 Otto Road,
Glendale, NY 11386.
LIRR and NYA jointly seek approval
of the proposed discontinuance of the
automatic block signal (ABS) system on
Main Line #1 and #2, from Milepost
(MP) 1.2 Bliss to MP 7.3 Jay Interlocking
on LIRR’s Montauk Branch. Signals
S14,S18, S21, S24, S30, S31, S36, S39,
S45, S51, S52, S59, S62, S67, S72, and
S73 will be removed, as well as the
pipe-connected center-lock crossover
equipment on crossovers at MP 2.9, 4.2,
4.4, and 5.0. Switches will remain in
service. Highway-rail grade crossings in
the application area will have their
warning distances revised to ‘‘island
only,’’ with the exception of 88th Street,
which will have its warning time
shortened. The maximum authorized
speed will be ‘‘restricted speed,’’ not to
exceed 15 mph.
The reason given for the proposed
changes is that the ABS system is no
longer needed for freight switching
operations. There are no through freight
operations. Passenger service has been
discontinued on the line.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2009–0078]
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
July 1, 2013, the American Short Line
and Regional Railroad Association
(ASLRRA), on behalf of the Canton
Railroad Company, and the New York &
Atlantic Railway Company, has
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an amended
waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal hours of
service laws contained at 49 U.S.C.
21103(a)(4) which, in part, require a
train employee to receive 48 hours off
duty after initiating an on-duty period
for 6 consecutive days. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2009–
0078.
In its petition, ASLRRA seeks to
amend its previously filed petition for
an extension of a waiver to add the two
railroads referenced above, which did
not participate in ASLRRA’s original
petition for a waiver extension, to
Exhibit A of ASLRRA’s waiver. FRA had
granted ASLRRA’s petition for a waiver
extension in a letter dated February 27,
2012. The waiver allows a train
employee to initiate an on-duty period
each day for 6 consecutive days
followed by 24 hours, rather than 48
hours, off duty.
Each railroad that seeks to be added
to the waiver has executed a compliance
letter that attests that it has complied
with all of the employee consent
requirements that FRA originally set in
its initial decision letter, dated March 5,
2010. In addition, each railroad will
maintain in its files for FRA inspection
the underlying employee consent or
employee representative consent
documents.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
