Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of

document provides the public notice
that on October 11, 2021, the Golden
Gate Railroad Museum (GGRM)
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR 230.17, One
thousand four hundred seventy-two
(1472) service day inspection. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2021–0102.
For locomotive #2472, GGRM requests

service day inspection must be
completed for one year until June 1,
2023. GGRM states that the annual
inspection of #2472 was completed, but
the extension would allow GGRM to
recover from schedule delays and
revenue losses caused by the COVID–19
pandemic.
A copy of the petition, as well as any

Interested parties are invited to

Notice of Availability of a Final General
Conformity Determination for the

Burbank to Los Angeles Section
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
FRA is issuing this notice to
advise the public that it is issuing a
Final General Conformity Determination
(FCD) for the Burbank to Los Angeles
Section of the California High-Speed
Rail (HSR) System.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Andre´a Martin, Senior Environmental
Protection Specialist, Office of Railroad
Policy and Development (RPD),

Marlys.Osterhues@dot.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to 23 U.S.C. 327 (Section 327), the
California High-Speed Rail Authority
(CHSRA or Authority) has assumed
FRA’s environmental review
responsibilities under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). However, under
Section 327, FRA remains responsible
for compliance with the Clean Air Act
General Conformity requirements. In
compliance with NEPA and the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the Authority published a Final
Environmental Impact Record/Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/
EIS) for the Burbank to Los Angeles
Section of the California High-Speed
Rail (HSR) System on November 5,
2021. The Final EIR/EIS is available at
https://hsr.ca.gov/programs/
environmental-planning/project-sectionenvironmental-documents-tier-2/
burbank-to-los-angeles-project-sectiondraft-environmental-impact-reportenvironmental-impact-statement/.
FRA prepared a Draft General
Conformity Determination, pursuant to
40 CFR part 93, subpart B, which
establishes the process for complying
with the General Conformity
requirements of the Clean Air Act. FRA
published a notice in the Federal
Register on September 20, 2021
advising the public of the availability of
the Draft Conformity Determination for
a 30-day review and comment period.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00153
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The Draft Conformity Determination
was published at https://
www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FRA–
2021–0082. The comment period of the
Draft Conformity Determination closed
on October 20, 2021. FRA received one
comment expressing support for the
project and Draft General Conformity
Determination.
FRA prepared the Final General
Conformity Determination pursuant to
40 CFR part 93, subpart B, and based on
the Authority’s coordination with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the California Air Resources
Board (CARB), and the South Coast Air
Quality Management District
(SCAQMD). The analysis found that
construction period emissions would
exceed the General Conformity de
minimis threshold for Nitrogen Oxides
(NOX). However, operation of the
Project would result in an overall
reduction of regional emissions of all
applicable air pollutants and would not
cause a localized exceedance of an air
quality standard. Consistent with the
General Conformity Rule, the Authority
will ensure all remaining emissions that
exceed the de minimis thresholds, after
implementation of the impact avoidance
and minimization features and onsite
mitigation measures, will be offset
through an agreement with SCAQMD.
The Authority and SCAQMD will enter
into an agreement after receipt of
construction funding but prior to the
start of construction. Based on this
commitment, FRA determined the
Project will conform to the requirements
in the approved State Implementation
Plan.
The Final General Conformity
Determination is available at https://
www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FRA–
2021–0082, and FRA’s website at
