DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2016–0003]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with part 211 of title 49
of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the
public notice that by a document dated
September 22, 2015, Amtrak 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 part 238—
Passenger Equipment Safety Standards.
FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2016–0003.
Amtrak seeks a temporary waiver of
compliance from the requirements of 49
CFR 238.125—Marking and instructions
for emergency egress and rescue access,
referencing American Public
Transportation Association (APTA)
Standard PR–PS–S_002–98, Rev.3,
‘‘Standard for Emergency Signage for
Egress/Access of Passenger Rail
Equipment;’’ and 49 CFR 238.127—Lowlocation emergency exit path marking,
referencing APTA Standard PR–PS–S–
004–99, Rev.2 ‘‘Standard for Lowlocation Exit Path Marking’’ for a period
of 4 years. Amtrak has strived to meet
the deadline to comply with these
regulations, but is now seeking this
temporary relief because the materials
that its current vendor has been
installing are not fully compliant. This
relief will provide Amtrak the proper
time to produce internally and purchase
from outside vendors the new compliant
decals sufficient for over 1,250 rail cars.
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
