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

document provides the public notice
that on March 11, 2022, NJ TRANSIT
Corporation (NJT) petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) for an

extension of a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at
49 CFR parts 213, 219, 221, 222, 223,
229, 231, 234, 236, 238, 239, 242, 243,
and 270. The relevant FRA Docket
Number is FRA–2007–0030.
Specifically, NJT requests an
extension of relief from multiple
regulations and seeks new relief from
two additional parts (243 and 270) for
NJT’s Southern New Jersey Light Rail
Transit (the ‘‘River Line’’). The River
Line is a commuter light rail transit
system that operates over the
Bordentown Secondary Track, track NJT
shares with the Consolidated Rail
Corporation (Conrail). The operation
uses diesel multiple unit trainsets
during an exclusive passenger period,
temporally separated from Conrail’s
nightly freight operations over the same
tracks. NJT states that the relief
facilitates more efficient and productive
joint use of the trackage and that the
limited nighttime joint operations have
been carried out safely since the original
waiver was granted.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
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 party desires
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.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
submitted at https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
Communications received by May 13,
2022 will be considered by FRA before
final action is taken. Comments received
after that date will be considered if
practicable.

[Docket Number FRA–2022–0023]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on March 11, 2022, North Shore
Railroad Company & Affiliates (NSHR)
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR 229.23, Periodic
inspection: General. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA–2022–
0023.
Specifically, NSHR requests relief of
the 92-day inspection requirements for
four locomotives (LVRR 9050, LVRR
9052, NSHR 2017, and NSHR 2012)
used in seasonal in-plant switching in
Washingtonville, PA. NSHR states that
cycling the locomotives in and out of
the plant for periodic inspections in a
timely manner is difficult, as the
locomotives do not have active on-board
positive train control apparatuses and
the rail line connecting to the plant is
owned by a different railroad carrier
(Norfolk Southern Railway). NSHR
proposes that two of the locomotives
would be used for in-plant unloading of
synthetic gypsum and two of the
locomotives would serve as alternate
units. When the alternate units are not
in the plant, they would receive normal
92-day periodic inspections at the
NSHR locomotive shop in Williamsport,
PA.
NSHR notes that the locomotives
would be utilized for in-plant switching
and remain captive at the plant during
a scheduled unloading season (March
through November), and would only
operate at restricted speed, not to
exceed 10 miles per hour. NSHR
explains that its proposed safety plan
includes: (1) A comprehensive shop
