The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA– 2010–0145. Specifically, UPRR requests an extension of a waiver granting relief from 49 CFR 232.103(n)(1), General requirements for all train brake systems, related to securement of freight cars. UPRR seeks continued approval that the engineering principles used in the design of its Roseville, California, yard, specifically the yard’s continuous speed control, ‘‘is a sufficient primary retarder to prevent equipment rollouts and act as an acceptable form of alternative securement.’’ In support of its request, UPRR states that it has ‘‘not had any injuries attributable to the use of this securement method’’ and that ‘‘the safety of operations is enhanced. . .[as workers are not] risk[ing] personal injury from tying additional handbrakes and climbing on and off equipment.’’ A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov.

Overview: Navistar determined that side window glazing supplied by Custom Glass Solutions and installed on certain MY 2022–2023 IC Bus school and commercial buses do not fully comply with paragraph S6.2 of FMVSS No. 205, Glazing Materials (49 CFR 571.205). Navistar filed an original noncompliance report dated November 17, 2021, pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports. Navistar petitioned NHTSA on December 16, 2021, for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that they believe this noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or Noncompliance. This notice of receipt of Navistar’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or another exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. II. Vehicles Involved: Approximately 1,289 MY 2022–2023 IC Bus CE and EV school buses, manufactured between July 26, 2021, and October 7, 2021, and approximately 4 MY 2022 IC Bus CE commercial buses manufactured between August 26, 2021, and September 14, 2021, are potentially involved. III. Noncompliance: Navistar explains that noncompliance is that the two side pieces of the flat three-piece windshield installed in the subject vehicles was incorrectly marked as ‘‘AS2’’ when it should have been marked as ‘‘AS1’’ and therefore, does not comply with paragraph S6.2 of FMVSS No. 205.
