SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
3, 2020, FRA conditionally approved
the Test Program and CSX’s petition
under 49 CFR 211.51 to suspend
213.233(c) as applied to operations
under the Test Program. A copy of the
Test Program, FRA’s conditional
approval of the Test Program, and a
previously published Federal Register
notice explaining FRA’s rationale for
approving the Test Program and related
suspension are available for review in
the docket.1
As approved, the Test Program
included three separate phases over 18
months as outlined in Exhibit C of the
Program.2 CSX began the Test Program
on March 16, 2020, and it is currently
set to expire on September 15, 2021.
CSX is requesting to extend the Test
Program until April 1, 2022. CSX states
that the Test Program has taken longer
than anticipated due to delays
automating CSX’s data analysis and
reporting as well as complications from
the COVID–19 pandemic. In support of
its request, CSX states that it will
continue to comply with all other
conditions and requirements of FRA’s
March 3, 2020, approval letter.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, if any, are available for review
