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 June
18, 2015, the Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority (SEPTA) 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 238.309(b)(2). FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2015–0068.
Title 49 CFR 238.309(b)(2) requires
that brake equipment and brake

cylinders of each multiple unit (MU)
locomotive be cleaned, repaired, and
tested at intervals of every 1,104 days if
the MU locomotive is part of a fleet that
is 100 percent equipped with air dryers,
and has a brake system using RT–5Astyle valves (among others). The RT–
5A+ brake system in use on the
Silverliner V MU fleet employs a
microprocessor-based control system,
and uses active and passive diagnostics
to monitor brake performance.
Currently, other air brake systems that
incorporate microprocessor controls are
subject to overhaul intervals of 1,840
days (see 49 CFR 238.309(b)(3) and
238.309(e)(l)). SEPTA therefore
submitted an alternate proposal to
increase the periodic brake equipment
maintenance interval for the Silverliner
V air brake system to a minimum of
1,840 days.
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
New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
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
an opportunity for oral comment, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.

proceedings should identify the
