DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2019–0022]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on February 25, 2019, the North
Shore Railroad Company (NSHR) and its
affiliates: Juniata Valley Railroad
(JVRR), Lycoming Valley Railroad
(LVRR), Nittany & Bald Eagle Railroad
(UCIR), Shamokin Valley Railroad
(SVRR), and Union County Industrial
Railroad (UCIR), 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
240, Qualification and Certification of
Locomotive Engineers, and part 242,
Qualification and Certification of
Conductors. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2019–0022.
The relief is requested as part of
NSHR’s proposed implementation of
and participation in FRA’s Confidential
Close Call Reporting System (C 3RS)
Program. NSHR seeks to shield
reporting employees and the railroad
from mandatory punitive sanctions that
would otherwise arise as provided in 49
CFR 240.117(e)(1)–(4); 240.305(a)(l)–(4)
and (a)(6); 240.307; 242.403(b), (c),
(e)(l)–(4), (e)(6)–(11), and (f)(l)–(2). The
C 3RS Program encourages certified
operating crew members to report close
calls and protect the employees and the
railroad from discipline or sanctions
arising from the incidents reported per
the C 3RS Implementing Memorandum
of Understanding.

written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
