DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2017–0100]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides
the public notice that by an undated
VerDate Sep<11>2014
22:28 Nov 01, 2017
Jkt 244001
letter received on June 9, 2017, Arizona
Eastern Railway (AZER) 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
232, Brake System Safety Standards for
Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains
and Equipment; End-of-Train Devices.
FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2017–0100.
In its petition, AZER requests a
waiver of compliance from the
requirement of 49 CFR 232.215,
Transfer train brake tests, at its Clifton
Yard in Clifton, AZ. AZER currently
conducts a transfer train air brake test
after doubling outbound rail cars
together at the Clifton Yard. Due to an
increase in AZER’s traffic in Clifton,
train size has increased from 25 to 40
cars, resulting in the blocking of
multiple public grade crossings for an
extended period of time while
conducting air brake tests. AZER
proposes to perform a Class III air brake
test per 49 CFR 232.211 on rail cars
doubled in Clifton and operate six miles
to the AZER yard at South Siding,
where the train will be profiled and
receive a Class I air brake test under 49
CFR 232.205. AZER states its proposal
would relieve vehicle congestion on
Coronado Blvd. in Clifton, which would
allow for better emergency access.
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 parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Older Driver Rearview Video
Systems.
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
Abstract: A 2014 final rule by NHTSA
requires rear visibility technology in all
new vehicles under 10,000 pounds by
May 2018, but the anticipated safety
gains strongly depend on the extent to
which drivers understand and use the
technology as intended. The purpose of
this study is to assess the driving
performance of adults 60 and older
using traditional mirrors as compared to
using a rearview video system (RVS)
during backing tasks; and to develop,
implement, and assess the effectiveness
of an RVS training protocol.
Study staff will invite drivers 60 and
older from residential communities,
senior centers, and/or service or faithbased organizations in southeast
Pennsylvania to a public meeting to
describe the opportunity including
inclusion and exclusion criteria. The
project plans to recruit a total of 200
participants for the study: 80 for
Segment 1 and 120 for Segment 2.
Segment 1 participants will complete a
series of backing tasks in an
instrumented vehicle as directed by a
driving evaluator. The 120 participants
assigned to Segment 2 will complete a
30-minute training session, which will
be based on participant errors and
comments during Segment 1, before
completing the backing tasks in the
same manner as the Segment 1
participants. Participants will receive
compensation for study participation at
the completion of the backing tasks.
Findings will provide information
about whether people ages 60 and older
differ in backing performance when
using RVS versus traditional inside
traditional mirrors, which elements of
RVS use are particularly difficult for
this cohort, and whether RVS training
improves older drivers’ ability to use
RVS to avoid obstacles while backing.
