[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

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
