Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 8, 2020 / Notices
document provides the public notice
that on March 9, 2020, the City of Fort
Collins (the City) 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
222, Use of Locomotive Horns at Public
Highway-Rail Crossings. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2020–
0024.
Specifically, the City requests relief
from 49 CFR 222.35(b), Active grade
crossing warning devices, which
requires each public highway-rail grade
crossing in a new quiet zone to be
equipped with active grade crossing
warning devices with both flashing
lights and gates. The City states that due
to the unique nature of the railroad
tracks in this area, it is not possible to
meet the gate requirement for seven of
the twelve total grade crossings. Instead,
three crossings are proposed to be
closed and a barrier or fence is to be
constructed to address pedestrian
trespassing. The City recognizes that
this waiver would only be the first step
in the implementation of a quiet zone,
which will require further coordination
between the City, the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe railroad, the
Colorado Public Utilities Commission,
and FRA.
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. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
