[Docket Number FRA–2014–0066]
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
28, 2014, Union Pacific Railroad (UP)
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 229. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2014–0066.
UP seeks a waiver of the requirement
in 49 CFR 229.29(b) which requires that
the air flow method (AFM) indicator on
a locomotive be calibrated in
accordance with 49 CFR
232.205(c)(1)(iii) at intervals not to
exceed 92 days. UP states that
calibration of the AFM indicator
requires them to take locomotives out of
service every 92 days and into a facility
where the calibration can be performed,
even though the locomotive may
otherwise be eligible for 184-day
periodic inspections. UP further states
that the AFM indicator is used only to
conduct AFM brake tests, and that the
same air brake tests may be performed
by the leakage test method, which does
not use the AFM indicator. If the waiver
is granted for locomotives with past due
AFM indicator calibration, UP plans to
inform the crew of the exceeded interval
and require that air brake tests be done
in accordance with the leakage test
method of 49 CFR 232.205(c)(1)(i), with
no resulting adverse impact on the
safety of operations.
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

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.

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

should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
