DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2019–0029]
Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System
Under part 235 of Title 49 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides
the public notice that by a document
received March 27, 2019, Lake Superior
and Ishpeming Railroad (LSIR)
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval
to discontinue or modify a signal
system. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2019–0029.
Applicant: Lake Superior and
Ishpeming Railroad, Mr. Jesse
Zimmerman, Supervisor Track,
Structures, Signals, 311 M–35,
Negaunee, MI 49866.
The LSIR requests approval to replace
power-operated switches at control
point (CP) Empire Mine, Milepost (MP)
Q70.78, and CP Tilden Junction, MP
Q71.23 on the Ore Subdivision, with
hand-operated switches lined and
locked for Main Line movements. Two
switch point indicators will also be
removed.
LSIR states the reason for the
proposed change is the idling of the
Empire Mine property that these
switches serve. The Canadian National
(CN) was using these switches as they
had been the main carrier shipping out
of the Empire Mine. Now that the
Empire Mine is idled, CN no longer
enters the property through these
switches.
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 Avenue SE, W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.

This Waiver Order covers all areas
identified in the declaration, as
amended. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5103(c),
PHMSA has authority delegated by the
Secretary (49 CFR 1.97(b)(3)) to waive
compliance with any part of the HMR
provided that the grant of the waiver is:
(1) In the public interest; (2) not
inconsistent with the safety of
transporting hazardous materials; and
(3) necessary to facilitate the safe
movement of hazardous materials into,
from, and within an area of a major
disaster or emergency that has been
declared under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.).
Given the continuing impacts caused
by the Nebraska and Iowa disasters,
PHMSA’s Administrator has determined
that regulatory relief is in the public
interest and necessary to ensure the safe
transportation in commerce of
hazardous materials while the EPA and
USCG execute their recovery and
cleanup efforts in the disaster areas.
Specifically, PHMSA’s Administrator
finds that issuing this Waiver Order will
allow the EPA and USCG to conduct
their Emergency Support Function #10
response activities under the National
Response Framework to safely remove,
transport, and dispose of hazardous
materials. By execution of this Waiver
Order, persons conducting operations
under the direction of EPA Region 7 or
USCG Eighth District within the
Nebraska and Iowa disaster areas are
authorized to offer and transport nonradioactive hazardous materials under
alternative safety requirements imposed
by EPA Region 7 or USCG Eighth
District when compliance with the HMR
is not practicable. Under this Waiver
Order, non-radioactive hazardous
materials may be transported to staging
areas within 50 miles of the point of
origin. Further transportation of the
hazardous materials from staging areas
must be in full compliance with the
HMR.
This Waiver Order is effective
immediately and shall remain in effect
for 60 days from the date of issuance.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 29,
2019.
