[Docket Number FRA-2017-0084]


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 by letter dated December 28, 
2022, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) 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 214 (Railroad Workplace Safety). The relevant FRA Docket 
Number is FRA-2017-0084.
    Specifically, NS requests to extend its relief from Sec.  
214.336(c), On-track safety procedures for certain roadway work groups 
and adjacent tracks, as it pertains to procedures for adjacent 
controlled track movements at 25 miles per hour (mph) or less.
    NS indicates this request is specific to a unique working group, 
the R-3 Dual Rail Gang (R-3 Gang), and the relief would only apply to 
this group. This group is a system-level production gang comprised of 
78 employees and 40 roadway maintenance machines with the capability to 
remove both rails while simultaneously installing both new rails. NS 
seeks relief from the requirement of using the gauge position of the 
rail as the point for the plane that is not to be broken on the 
occupied track. Instead, NS seeks to use the removed rails of the 
occupied track as an envelope for on-ground work performed exclusively 
between these rails for the employees working in the R-3 Gang. NS 
asserts the R-3 Gang's work can be performed safely. Additionally, NS 
seeks relief from the requirement that on-ground work be performed 
exclusively between the rails

(i.e., not breaking the plane of the rails) of the occupied track. NS 
seeks to extend its relief to allow up to 4 on-ground employees (when 
working with one adjacent controlled track) and up to 8 on-ground 
employees (when working with two adjacent controlled tracks) of the R-3
