Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 8, 2016 / Notices Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 229, Railroad Locomotive Safety Standards. FRA assigned this petition Docket Number FRA–2016–0050. In its petition, SCFE proposes to maintain the daily inspection reports required by 49 CFR 229.21, Daily inspection, solely in electronic format. The system that SCFE proposes consists of a USB memory drive containing locomotive identifying information permanently affixed to each locomotive, with a semi-permanently installed, hardened tablet computer in each locomotive. In lieu of paper records, this computer system would run software prompting and recording the results of daily inspections and transmitting those inspection details directly and securely back to a central database maintained by the company, where they will be retained for at least 120 days. SCFE states that this system would fully satisfy the goals of daily inspection records to be accurate, not susceptible to after-the-fact changes, and readily available to FRA inspectors at any time. 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.
