Section
125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation
Investment and Reform Act for the 21st
Century (AIR–21) requires the FAA to
provide an opportunity for public notice
and comment prior to the ‘‘waiver’’ or
‘‘modification’’ of a sponsor’s Federal
obligation to use certain airport land for
aeronautical purposes.
The following is a brief overview of
the request: The project site is located
within the City of Los Angeles, on
LAWA’s property, adjacent to LAX. The
project site is located on the east and
west side of Falmouth Avenue, just
north of Westchester Parkway. The
project site is vacant land with no
structures currently onsite. LAWA
requests to develop the land with the
Argo Drain Sub-Basin Facility (SubBasin Facility) to address airport
environmental compliance needs. The
Sub-Basin Facility is primarily an
underground storm water treatment
facility designed to potentially allow
open space uses on the surface. The
Sub-Basin Facility also includes two
above-ground elements: a pump facility
and blower building. LAWA’s industrial
areas, existing and future capitals
improvement projects will need
multiple independent storm water
treatment facilities. This project will
avoid the construction of multiple
independent facilities. The Argo-Drain
Sub-Basin will allow LAWA to achieve
a campus-wide approach to compliance
with Low Impact Development
requirements. It will also assist with the
overall compliance strategy for
Industrial General Permit requirements.
LAWA and Los Angeles Bureau of
Sanitation will have a lease agreement
in place in order to address the share of
financial responsibility for the SubBasin Facility.

[Docket Number FRA–2001–10214]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
provides the public notice that on
December 22, 2017, the Minnesota
Northern Railroad (MNN) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for an extension of a waiver from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR part
223. FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2001–10214.
Specifically, the MNN seeks to extend
its existing waiver from 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) § 223.13,
regarding the glazing on caboose (MNN
019.
The MNN states that the
circumstances at the time of the original
grant of waiver have not changed. The
caboose is still only used on special
occasions as an office car for officials
and private persons for railroad
business purposes. The territory that it
operates in is primarily rural.
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

[Docket Number FRA–2018–0006]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides
the public notice that on January 5,
2018, Northern Plains Railroad (NPR),
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 229. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2018–0006.
Specifically, NPR seeks a waiver of
compliance from a portion of 49 CFR
229.47, Emergency brake valve, for five
SD60F locomotives (Numbers 5513,
E:\FR\FM\01FEN1.SGM

5517, 5518, 5525, and 5535) that were
purchased from Canadian National
Railway (CN). These units do not have
the required emergency brake valve
installed at the rear exit door.
NPR is a regional railroad operating
on a 350-mile network in North Dakota
and western Minnesota. NPR’s primary
commodities handled include wheat,
soybeans, corn, aggregates, and
miscellaneous industrial products. The
maximum operating speed on the NPR
is 25 miles per hour. NPR has had no
history of vandalism, two reportable
train accidents since 2013, and an injury
frequency rate of under one percent for
the last two years. NPR indicates that
these units will be used in road service
and will be paired together. NPR does
not see this waiver of compliance
adversely affecting safety.
NPR believes that 49 CFR 229.47 was
established to provide a crew member a
means of initiating an emergency stop
when they are unable to give the
locomotive operator a visual signal to
stop while making a reverse movement.
This would only apply to locomotives
that do not have an exposed walkway
on the end of the car body. The five full
body locomotives are all equipped with
a walkway and corner steps that provide
a position for crew to direct the
locomotive engineer while making a
reverse movement. Because these end
platforms, which are identical to that of
a regular body locomotive, are available
and equipped with corner steps, NPR
crews would not place themselves
inside the locomotive engine
compartment to direct a reverse
movement, thereby making the
application of this emergency brake
valve meaningless. Therefore, NPR is
requesting a waiver from the
requirement that an emergency brake
pipe valve be installed adjacent to the
rear door for these five units.
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

Specifically, SMS Rail Service (SLRS)
is seeking an extension of its waiver of

Requirements for existing locomotives,
for the glazing in one of its locomotives,
SLRS 412. Locomotive SLRS 412 is a
Baldwin VO–1000, built in 1945, and is
owned by the United Railroad Historical
Society, a non-profit organization. The
locomotive is currently out of service;
however, SLRS would like to be able to
operate it again in limited service
should they be able to facilitate repairs.
Locomotive SLRS 412 would be
operated in limited use and exclusively
within the Pureland Industrial Park in
Bridgeport, NJ. SLRS represents that
there is no history of broken glazing on
this railroad, and no overhead bridges or
tunnels on the trackage. Maximum
operating speed would be 10 miles per
hour.
