[FR Doc. 2018–09399 Filed 5–2–18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4915–01–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA–2018–0041] sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES 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 April 18, 2018, the Port Authority TransHudson Corporation (PATH) 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 214. FRA assigned the petition docket number FRA–2018– 0041. PATH is requesting relief from the definition of ‘‘fouling a track’’ found in 49 CFR 214.7 at certain locations within PATH’s tunnel system if certain conditions are met. PATH seeks the waiver to allow tunnel bench walls to be considered a ‘‘place of safety’’ under § 214.329, Train Approach Warning, for the safety and efficiency of roadway maintenance procedures at that those locations. If approved, when train approach warning or foul time is used as the method of protection, roadway workers may move to a previously arranged place of safety designated as a ‘‘Clearance Area.’’ Due to track and physical structure configurations, the designated ‘‘Clearance Area’’ can be less than the required four feet from the near running rail, yet still provides a place of safety, protecting roadway workers from the risk of being struck by moving trains or on-track equipment. PATH states safety will be improved by reducing the distance roadway workers must walk to reach a compliant place of safety upon VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:29 May 02, 2018 Jkt 244001 receiving warning of an approaching train. PATH also contends roadway maintenance procedures will be more efficient by increasing the number of clearing locations, thereby reducing time spent moving to and from places of safety. PATH is a rapid transit system, with 13.8 route miles, of which 7.4 miles are composed of an underground tunnel system that operates between the states of New York and New Jersey. The current tunnel system was built between 1873 and 1901. As such, the physical structure and track configurations within the tunnel system provide many locations where it is physically impossible to clear outside four feet of the near rail. PATH explains that the historical use and safety record of bench walls as a place of clearance for close to half a century without incident show that, under certain conditions, they can be used as a place of safety within the four-foot fouling envelope. 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 Ave. SE, W12–140, Washington, DC 20590.

Ritron is seeking to extend its waiver of compliance from 49 CFR 232.409(d) for three models of its two-way transceiver radios used for the link modules inside Head-of-Train (HOT) and End-of-Train (EOT) devices. These three models are DTX–445, DTX–454, and DTX–460. These models use a master reference oscillator to determine the frequency stability of the transmitted signal. The actual transmitted signal is phase-locked to this master oscillator by a phase-locked loop. This self-calibrating procedure eliminates the need for yearly recalibrations. Ritron states that if the radio is operating, it is within specifications. Ritron originally received a waiver of compliance on July 21, 2010. Ritron received an updated waiver, to add another radio to that included in the original request, on September 4, 2013.

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2009-0015]


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on April 13, 2018, Ritron, 
Inc. (Ritron) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for 
a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad 
safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 232.409(d). FRA assigned the 
petition Docket Number FRA-2009-0015.
    Ritron is seeking to extend its waiver of compliance from 49 CFR 
232.409(d) for three models of its two-way transceiver radios used for 
the link modules inside Head-of-Train (HOT) and End-of-Train (EOT) 
devices. These three models are DTX-445, DTX-454, and DTX-460. These 
models use a master reference oscillator to determine the frequency 
stability of the transmitted signal. The actual transmitted signal is 
phase-locked to this master oscillator by a phase-locked loop. This 
self-calibrating procedure eliminates the need for yearly re-
calibrations. Ritron states that if the radio is operating, it is 
within specifications. Ritron originally received a waiver of 
compliance on July 21, 2010. Ritron received an updated waiver, to add 
another radio to that included in the original request, on September 4, 
2013.
