Issued in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2015. Ron Hynes, Director, Office of Technical Oversight. [FR Doc. 2015–01233 Filed 1–23–15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–06–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA–2012–0079] emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES 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 October 22, 2014, the Long Island Rail Road Company (LIRR) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an extension of its waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 228.405(a)(3). FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2012–0079. In its petition, LIRR seeks a waiver allowing the series of at most 14 consecutive calendar days to reset after a general pick, or a large timetable revision. A general pick, as described by LIRR, is a biannual event allowing train employees to bid on jobs, with jobs being awarded based on an employee’s seniority. FRA’s current policy only allows a maximum series of at most 14 consecutive calendar days (to reset at the end of the 14th day), or when an employee does not initiate an on-duty period for any 2 calendar days within the 14 consecutive calendar-day series. In support of its initial request, LIRR explained that after the first general pick, about 20 employees were required to take 1 or 2 workdays off to avoid violating Federal requirements. As a result, employees suffered financially, and employee availability was reduced, disrupting LIRR’s ability to provide timely and efficient service for its customers. LIRR argues that allowing the 14 consecutive calendar-day series to reset after a general pick, or a large timetable revision, will prevent any future employee financial losses and disruptions in LIRR’s ability to provide optimum service to its customers. LIRR noted that there have been no material changes in circumstances since the original waiver was granted. Furthermore, LIRR states that its train employees continue to indicate support for the waiver. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:48 Jan 23, 2015 Jkt 235001 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.

AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:48 Jan 23, 2015 Jkt 235001 ACTION: Grant of petition. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., on behalf of Toyota Motor Corporation and certain Toyota manufacturing entities (collectively referred to as ‘‘Toyota’’) have determined that specific model year (MY) 2013–2014 Toyota vehicles do not fully comply with paragraph S4 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 302, Flammability of Interior Materials. Toyota has filed an appropriate report dated January 29, 2014 as amended on February 20, 2014 pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports. ADDRESSES: For further information on this decision contact Michael Cole, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone (202) 366–2334, facsimile (202) 366– 5930. SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Toyota’s Petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and the rule implementing those provisions at 49 CFR part 556, Toyota has petitioned for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Notice of receipt of Toyota’s petition was published, with a 30-Day public comment period, on March 11, 2014 in the Federal Register (FR 13733). No comments were received. To view the petition and all supporting documents log onto the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) Web site at: https://www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the online search instructions to locate docket number ‘‘NHTSA–2014– 0028.’’ II. Vehicles Involved: Affected are approximately 206,271 MY 2012–14 Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Sienna, Tundra, and Tacoma model Toyota vehicles. Refer to the amended report that Toyota filed pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports that Toyota included as attachment to its petition for identification of the associated Toyota manufacturing entities as well as additional details about the vehicles involved. III. Noncompliance: Toyota explains that the noncompliance is that the front and rear seat cushions and front and rear seat backs in the subject vehicles fail to fully meet the requirements of paragraph S4 of FMVSS No. 302 because seat cushion and seat back components, when tested separately, PO 00000 Frm 00096 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4035 failed to meet the burn rate requirements of paragraph S4.3. Toyota identified the noncompliant components as seat heater assemblies. Toyota also states that all other components of the seat required to meet FMVSS No. 302 are in compliance with the standard. IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S4 of FMVSS No. 302 requires in pertinent part: S4.1 The portions described in S4.2 of the following components of vehicle occupant compartments shall meet the requirements of S4.3: seat cushions, seat backs, seat belts, headlining, convertible tops, arm rests, all trim panels including door, front, rear, and side panels, compartment shelves, head restraints, floor coverings, sun visors, curtains, shades, wheel housing covers, engine compartment covers, mattress covers, and any other interior materials, including padding and crash-deployed elements, that are designed to absorb energy on contact by occupants in the event of a crash . . . S4.2 Any portion of a single or composite material which is within 13 mm of the occupant compartment air space shall meet the requirements of S4.3. S4.2.1 Any material that does not adhere to other material(s) at every point of contact shall meet the requirements of S4.3 when tested separately . . . S4.3 (a) When tested in accordance with S5, material described in S4.1 and S4.2 shall not burn, nor transmit a flame front across its surface, at a rate of more than 102 mm per minute. The requirement concerning transmission of a flame front shall not apply to a surface created by cutting a test specimen for purposes of testing pursuant to S5. (b) If a material stops burning before it has burned for 60 seconds from the start of timing, and has not burned more than 51 mm from the point where the timing was started, it shall be considered to meet the burn-rate requirement of S4.3(a). V. Summary of Toyota’s Analyses: Toyota stated its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons: 1. Toyota believes that its testing shows that the seat heater assemblies comply with FMVSS No. 302 when tested as a ‘‘composite’’ as installed in the vehicle, i.e., along with the surrounding FMVSS No. 302 compliant seat cover, plus pad, and foam pad. 2. Toyota believes that its testing and design review of the seat heater assemblies indicates that the chance of fire or flame induced by a malfunctioning seat heater is essentially zero. 3. Toyota believes that the purpose of FMVSS No. 302 is to ‘‘. . . reduce the deaths and injuries to motor vehicle occupants caused by vehicle fires, especially those originating in the interior of the vehicle from sources such E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM 26JAN1
