Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance, 64132-64133 [2022-22849]

Download as PDF 64132 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 203 / Friday, October 21, 2022 / Notices Second, pursuant to the authority at 49 CFR 236.1006(b)(5)(vii), BNSF is proposing to utilize certain alternative procedures instead of the default procedures under § 236.1006(b)(5), which permits the operation of a locomotive or train without an onboard PTC apparatus in certain circumstances. Under 49 CFR 236.1006(b)(5)(vii), FRA’s regulations permit a railroad to propose such alternative procedures in its RFA and/or PTCSP. For example, as detailed in BNSF’s updated RFA and PTCSP, BNSF is seeking to replace the default procedures under § 236.1006(b)(5)(i) and (ii). Specifically, BNSF proposes to use the exception under § 236.1006(b)(5) to perform short freight movements, within a single control point (measured by one home signal to the opposing home signal) at restricted speed, where no other trains may enter the control point during the excepted movement. In its RFA, BNSF further discusses the existing exception requirements and alternative procedures it will comply with when performing excepted movements under 49 CFR 236.1006(b)(5). Interested parties are invited to comment on BNSF’s RFA to its PTCSP by submitting written comments or data. During FRA’s review of this railroad’s RFA, FRA will consider any comments or data submitted within the timeline specified in this notice and to the extent practicable, without delaying implementation of valuable or necessary modifications to a PTC system. See 49 CFR 236.1021; see also 49 CFR 236.1011(e). Under 49 CFR 236.1021, FRA maintains the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny a railroad’s RFA to its PTCSP at FRA’s sole discretion. jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES Privacy Act Notice In accordance with 49 CFR 211.3, FRA solicits comments from the public to better inform its decisions.

[Docket Number FRA-2017-0104]


Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on September 20, 2022, 
Caltrain 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 part 238, 
Passenger Equipment Safety Standards. The relevant FRA Docket Number is 
FRA-2017-0104.
    Specifically, Caltrain seeks to extend its waiver of compliance 
from a portion of 49 CFR 238.113(a)(2), Emergency window exits, for the 
Caltrain Electric Multiple Unit restroom car. The Americans with 
Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant restroom facility extends from the 
exterior side door to nearly the centerline of the car, thus precluding 
the placement of the emergency window exit in this quadrant of the car 
in the lower main level. Caltrain states that it believes the intent of 
the emergency window requirement is met, as the position of the window 
provides the

closest practical fulfillment of the location requirements, without 
otherwise compromising access to either the emergency window exit or 
the ADA restroom facility. Additionally, Caltrain explains passengers 
have ready access to the exterior side door with a clear opening of 51 
inches. However, because the design does not meet the literal 
interpretation of ``each end (half) of the car,'' Caltrain is 
requesting to extend its waiver of this requirement for this restroom 
car for the life of the equipment.
    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 December 20, 2022 will be considered by 
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date 
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic 
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
