Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that by a document dated February 16,
2018, TexRail (TEXR) 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
238, Passenger Equipment Safety
Standards. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2018–0021.
TEXR has ordered eight FLIRT Series
Diesel Multiple Units (DMU) trainsets
manufactured by Stadler Bussnang AG
with an option to purchase additional
trainsets. The DMUs are designed to
fulfill the requirements set forth by 49
CFR 238.201, Scope/alternative
compliance. TEXR requests a waiver
‘‘based on compliance with the FRAissued guideline ‘Technical Criteria and
Procedures for Evaluating the
Crashworthiness and Occupant
Protection Performance of AlternativelyDesigned Passenger Rail Equipment for
Use in Tier I Service’ and the proposed
Appendix G to 49 CFR part 238.’’
Currently, these vehicles are being
delivered and tested at the TEXR
maintenance facility. Specifically, TEXR

[Docket Number FRA–2018–0049]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on May 29, 2018, BNSF Railway
(BNSF) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR 232.213, 232.15,
and 232.103(f). In addition, BNSF
requests an exemption from the
requirements of Title 49, United States
Code (U.S.C.), section 20303, which
prohibits the movement of a rail vehicle
with defective or insecure equipment
beyond the nearest available place at
which the repairs can be made. See 49
U.S.C. 20306. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2018–0049.
Specifically, BNSF petitions FRA to
conduct a pilot program on a segment of
their system to ‘‘demonstrate that the
use of wheel temperature detectors
(WTD) to prove brake health
effectiveness (BHE) will improve safety,
reduce risks to employees, and provide
cost savings to the industry.’’ Currently,
the effectiveness of railroad brake
systems is verified by Class I initial
terminal and Class IA intermediate
brake tests. BNSF proposes to
supplement these visual inspections
with a wayside WTD, a device designed
to directly measure the rise in wheel
temperatures because of a brake
application. BNSF asserts that such a
measure of performance is objective,
quantifiable, and independent of
conditions that can impair a visual
inspection; such as weather, lighting,
human fatigue, or human error.
BNSF states that a monitoring system
using WTD data as an alternative to the
intermediate brake inspections is
expected to substantially improve the
reliability of brake inspections, reduce
on-line setouts, and increase faulty part
replacement, to improve the safety
performance of brake systems overall.
BNSF plans to use pyrometer sensors, a
technology also used for hot wheel
