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 6,
2015, the Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from several provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR part 240,
Qualification and Certification of
Locomotive Engineers, and Part 242,
Qualification and Certification of
Conductors. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2015–0084. The
relief is contingent on SEPTA’s
implementation of and participation in
the Confidential Close Call Reporting
System (C3RS) pilot project.
SEPTA seeks to shield reporting
employees and the railroad from
mandatory punitive sanctions that
would otherwise arise as provided in 49
CFR 240.117(e)(1)–(4); 240.305(a)(l)–(4)

and (a)(6); 240.307; 242.403(b), (c),
(e)(l)–(4), (e)(6)–(11), and (f)(l)–(2); and
242.407. The C3RS pilot project
encourages certified operating crew
members to report close calls and
protect the employees and the railroad
from discipline or sanctions arising
from incidents reported per the C3RS
Implementing Memorandum of
Understanding.
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
