[Docket Number FRA–2006–24647]
sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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 April
1, 2016, the Hoosier Valley Railroad
Museum (HVRM) 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
219. FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2006–24647.
HVRM requests an extension of an
existing waiver providing relief from
certain parts of 49 CFR part 219,
specifically, reasonable cause testing,
random testing, and the requirement to
have voluntary referral and co-worker
report policies. HVRM also wishes to
update the territory that this waiver
extension should apply to. The updated
stations and mileposts are as follows:
• North Judson at Milepost (MP)
212.7 (end of track) to Malden at MP
230.8 (end of track);
• LaCrosse at MP 0.5 to Wellsboro
(Union Mills) at MP 15.3;
• Inclusive of Wye connection at MP
222.8 and MP 0.5 LaCrosse.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
HVRM operations of tourist trains will
again be primarily between North
Judson at MP 212.7 to LaCrosse at MP
222.9 to Wade at MP 223.4, and from
LaCrosse at MP 0.5 to South Thomaston
at MP 6.1. The railroad states that
passenger trains will not operate on any
excepted track. Occasional excursions
beyond LaCrosse westward to Malden
and LaCrosse north to Wellsboro (Union
Mills) would be five times or less
annually, with communication and
coordination with the shortline
operator. The community of Hanna at
MP 9.1 holds an annual town festival
and requests HVRM excursion train
operations during the festival weekend
which is usually held in August. The
community of Union Mills holds an
annual festival, the community of
Malden holds an event, and that
segment of track offers some picnic
trains and agricultural excursions to
accompany the community events.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Submission of U.S. Carrier and
Airport Tarmac Delay Emergency
Contingency Plans Pursuant to FAA
Modernization and Reform Act.
OMB Control Number: 2105–0566.
Type of Request: Request to reinstate
OMB control number 2105–0566.
Abstract: The FAA Modernization
and Reform Act, which was signed into
law on February 14, 2012, required U.S.
carriers that operate scheduled
passenger service or public charter
service using any aircraft with a design
capacity of 30 or more seats, and
operators of large hub, medium hub,
small hub, or non-hub U.S. airports, to
submit emergency contingency plans for
lengthy tarmac delays to the Secretary of
Transportation for review and approval
no later than May 14, 2012. The Act also
required each covered carrier and
airport to ensure public access to its
plan after DOT approval by posting the
plan on its Web site.
On May 2, 2012, OMB approved
information collection of the reports on
an emergency basis due to the short
timeframe imposed by the Act. The
Department created an online system
allowing covered U.S. air carriers and
U.S. airports to submit plans online and
issued a notice in the Federal Register
stating how these entities should submit
the required plans to the Department
through the online system (77 FR 27267,
May 9, 2012). Pursuant to the
requirements of the Act, the Department
reviewed and approved emergency
contingency plans submitted by over
450 covered air carriers and airports.
In addition to requiring the initial
submission of emergency contingency
plans, the Act requires U.S. air carriers
to submit an updated plan every 3 years
