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 24,
2015, North American Transit Services
Association, a subsidiary of the
American Public Transportation
Association (APTA), has petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for a waiver of compliance from certain

provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR parts
238—Passenger Equipment Safety
Standards and 229—Railroad
Locomotive Safety Standards.
Specifically, APTA requests relief from
49 CFR 238.105—Train electric
hardware and software safety, which
requires a written hardware and
software safety program to guide the
design, development, testing,
integration, and verification of software
and hardware that controls or monitors
equipment safety functions. APTA also
requests relief from 49 CFR 238.107—
Inspection, testing and maintenance
plan; 238.109—Training, qualification
and designation program; 238.311—
Single car test; 229.315—Operations
and maintenance manual; 229.317—
Training and qualification program; and
229.319—Operating personnel training.
FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2015–0078.
APTA and its industry partners with
support from Amtrak, leveraged
standards developed for freight
electronically controlled pneumatic
brakes (see 49 CFR part 232, subpart G–
Electronically Controlled Pneumatic
(ECP) Braking Systems) and have
completed major efforts toward
introduction of ECP brake technology
for use in revenue passenger train
service. Standards and regulations do
not yet exist for ECP brake systems
applied to passenger trains; however, in
support of the development of standards
and regulations, APTA and industry
have completed the following major
activities:
1. Written a draft standard based on
Association of American Railroads S–
4200 series standards used for freight
ECP applications, and incorporated by
reference in 49 CFR part 232, subpart G.
2. Conducted a detailed preliminary
Failure Mode Effects and Criticality
Analysis to support the development of
an eventual train electric software and
safety program in compliance with 49
CFR 238.105.
3. Successfully installed and
completed static testing of (2) New York
Air Brake and (2) Wabtec ECP control
valves on four Amtrak Amfleet-1 coach
cars.
4. Successfully operated these cars in
revenue trains consisting of ECP cars
operating in emulation mode with
traditional 26–C control valve-fitted
coaches.
5. Established a test committee to
monitor the development process and
peer review all aspects of testing and
provide assurance of safe operating
practices.
6. Drafted a test plan for full ECP
operation in accordance with 49 CFR
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:00 Sep 22, 2015
Jkt 235001
238.111—Pre-revenue service
acceptance testing plan. Further details
of this plan will be developed by the
test committee prior to finalizing the
test plan and the conduct of any testing.
At this stage in development,
dynamic tests of the full ECP brake
system are needed to verify performance
and to aid in developing industry
standards and regulations for ECP
design, operation and maintenance for
use on passenger trains. To conduct
these tests, APTA requests a test waiver
that addresses the specified areas in
accordance with the provisions of 49
CFR 238.111. During this testing, while
approved specifications and standards
are being defined based on test results
to comply with the requirement of 49
CFR 238.105, it is requested that an
interim passenger train hardware and
software design process, documentation,
testing, and monitoring process be used
based on Amtrak test procedures,
specific test plans outlined by the test
committee, and by brake supplier ECP
performance information. To provide
alternate compliance with 49 CFR
238.107, 238.109, 229.315, 229.317, and
229.319, it is requested that an interim
Amtrak operations and training manual
be used. Development of compliant
operations training and maintenance
practices will be finalized after
completion of ECP brake testing, as
these will evolve based on experience
from on-track pre-revenue and revenue
testing. Amtrak will develop draft
operating guidelines to permit safe
operation of closely monitored ECP
brake testing to be approved by the test
committee. Amtrak will provide
amended operating rules to govern safe
train handling procedures related to
ECP brake systems and related
equipment for the specific route in
which testing will occur in accordance
with 49 CFR 238.107, and Amtrak will
submit a list of locations on its system
where ECP brake system repairs may be
performed in accordance with 49 CFR
238.111. A passenger train equipped
with ECP brake system must be
inspected before being released from a
shop or repair facility to ensure proper
and safe condition.
APTA also requests that an interim
single car brake test for ECP be used
during this testing while specifications,
standards, and regulations are being
further defined based on test results.
The single car brake test incorporated by
reference at 49 CFR 238.311 (APTA SS–
M–005–98 Rev. 2.1, Section 14.5)
permits brake suppliers to define
specific testing procedures for electropneumatic controlled brakes. In
preparation of pre-revenue and revenue
testing of full ECP brake systems, each

Frm 00100

brake supplier will develop specific
single car brake test procedures to
ensure safe operation of the ECP units.
The test procedures, based on the
current standard, will be reviewed by
the test committee. Further
development may be needed to codify a
unifying specific APTA standard for
single car brake testing, updating APTA
SS–M–005–98 Rev 2.1.

notice that by a document dated August
25, 2015, the Illinois Central Railroad
Company; Wisconsin Central Ltd.;

Company; Sault Ste. Marie Bridge

Railroad Administration (FRA) for a
waiver from certain provisions of 49
CFR 240.111 regarding motor vehicle
operation safety conduct data required
for the initial certification and
recertification of locomotive engineers.
The request was assigned Docket
Number FRA–2015–0095.
The waiver requested would permit
CN to initially certify or recertify
locomotive engineers for a period of 60
days, and would conform to current
provisions under 49 CFR 242.111(c) and
(d) for the initial certification and
recertification of conductors. CN
believes there is no railroad safety basis
that exists for not extending this same
provision to locomotive engineer
certification.
