negatively impact safety, and will
actually improve the safety and working
conditions of BNSF employees who are
conducting these setouts on line and
making the field repairs. By granting
this request, these cars, which do not
compromise the safety of the operating
train once the air is cut out and they
have been evaluated by the crews, will
move to locations where BNSF facilities
are designated to perform quality repairs
and where such repairs are routinely
made; thus removing the variability and
exposure to risks associated with
performing the inspections and repairs
in less than ideal field conditions.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2014–0070]
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 July 18,
2014, BNSF Railway (BNSF) 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 232, Brake System Safety
Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment; Endof-Train Devices. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA–2014–
0070.
Specifically, BNSF seeks a temporary
waiver of compliance from 49 CFR
232.213(a). The current rule provides
that ‘‘a railroad may be permitted to
move a train up to, but not exceeding,
1,500 miles between brake tests and
inspections if the railroad designates a
train as an extended haul train.’’ BNSF
requests relief to allow it to operate up
to 1,800 miles between inspections.
BNSF states that it requires this relief
to ensure its continued ability to meet
customer expectations for deliveries of
coal (critically low stock piles), grain,
and other commodities. Many of these
commodities move in efficient unit train
service, which is the subject of this
waiver request. BNSF’s operations are
continuing to overcome the challenges
originating with harsh winter weather,
followed by frost heaves, saturated
roadbeds, and a range of flooding events
and mud boils; and the compounded
effect that the prolonged weather
conditions have had on BNSF’s entire
system and its network fluidity. These
weather conditions, coupled with
significant and sustained increases in
volume in the second half of 2013, as
well as high levels of seasonal demand
late in 2013, have led to congestion

Frm 00134

across BNSF’s network and a backlog on
deliveries of critical commodities.
Additionally, Amtrak’s Empire Builder
service across BNSF North lines
experienced negative impacts on its ontime performance due to ongoing
congestion; BNSF recognizes that FRA
and general public is focused on Amtrak
performance and continues to work to
improve the Empire Builder’s on-time
service performance.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at

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