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 27, 2019, the Belt
Railway Company of Chicago (BRC),
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–2019–0023.
The relief is requested as part of
BRC’s proposed implementation of and
participation in FRA’s Confidential
Close Call Reporting System (C3RS)
Program. BRC 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), (f)(l)–(2), and
242.407. The C3RS 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 C3RS
Implementing Memorandum of
Understanding.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
