FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2016– 0118. BRC seeks relief from the requirements of 49 CFR 236.109 Time releases, timing relays and timing devices. BRC requests relief from § 236.109 as it applies to variable timers within the program logic of the operating software of microprocessorbased equipment. BRC states that timing devices contained within microprocessor-based equipment are typically non-variable and are within the program logic of the operating software. BRC notes, however, that some microprocessor-based equipment have variable timers. BRC is requesting relief from the requirement of checking the actual time interval of microprocessor-based variable timers. Such variable timers will use verification of the CRC/Check Sum/UCN of the existing location specific application logic to the previously tested version. 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 Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, Washington, DC 20590.

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.
