Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on October 21, 2022, Southeastern
Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
(SEPTA) petitioned the Federal Railroad

of a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR
213.233, Track inspections. The relevant
FRA Docket Number is FRA–1999–
5102.
Specifically, SEPTA requests an
extension of its existing waiver for a
reduced frequency of the required visual
track inspections for FRA Class 3 and 4

constructed with continuous welded
rail. SEPTA proposes to continue
conducting one visual track inspection

inspections per week that are required
by § 213.233(c), and to supplement its
visual inspections with Track Geometry
Measurement System-equipped vehicle
inspections over the affected main
tracks and sidings four times per year.
In support of its petition, SEPTA states
that the current inspection program on
tracks included in the relief ‘‘has
continued to successfully monitor track
conditions and provide the pertinent
information necessary to identify and

brake valve. The relevant FRA Docket
Number is FRA–2018–0006.
Specifically, NPR requests to extend
its existing relief from the requirement
that an emergency brake pipe valve be
installed adjacent to the rear door of a
locomotive for five EMD SD60F
locomotives (Numbers 5513, 5517, 5518,
5525, and 5535). The five locomotives
are of the same car body type and are
not equipped with an emergency brake
valve at the rear exit door. Each of the
units have rear walkways and switch
style steps, thus allowing the engineer
to see the person riding on the back and
are equipped with radio
communication. These units will be
used in road service and will be paired
together. In support of its request, NPR
states that it has ‘‘no history of
vandalism.’’
