ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
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 March 14, 2024, Metro-North
Railroad (MNCW) 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 240 (Qualification and
Certification of Locomotive Engineers)
and part 242 (Qualification and
Certification of Conductors). The
relevant Docket Number is FRA–2014–
0106.
Specifically, MNCW requests relief
required to continue participation in

Jkt 262001
FRA’s Confidential Close Call Reporting
System (C3RS) Program. MNCW seeks to
continue shielding reporting employees
from mandatory punitive sanctions that
would otherwise arise as provided in
§§ 240.117(e)(1)–(4); 240.305(a)(1)–(4)
and (a)(6); 240.307; 242.403(b), (c),
(e)(1)–(4), (e)(6)–(11), (f)(1)–(2); and
242.407. The C3RS Program encourages
certified operating crew members to
report close calls and protects the
employees and the railroad from
discipline or sanctions arising from the
incidents reported per the C3RS
Implementing Memorandum of
Understanding (IMOU). MNCW notes
that it and the Association of Commuter
Rail Employees have been governed by
an IMOU since September 2014. MNCW
states that recent safety improvements
associated with C3RS include:
‘‘Development of diagrams to enhance
notices to crews for partial passenger
platform closures;’’ ‘‘Deployment of
standardized train spotting or enhanced
spotting markers for specific stations;’’
and ‘‘Enhancement of root cause
analysis for C3RS eligible ‘known
events’ by inviting employees involved
to be interviewed by members of the
PRT.’’

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 March 1, 2024, Sacramento
Southern Railroad/California State
Railroad Museum (CSRM) petitioned
the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) to extend a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at
49 CFR parts 215 (Railroad Freight Car
Safety Standards) and 224
(Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling
Stock). FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2010–0171.
Specifically, CSRM requests to extend
its previous 1 special approval pursuant
to 49 CFR 215.203, Restricted cars, for
2 railcars (SSRR 6102 and SSRR 6108)
and 1 locomotive (SN 402) that are more
than 50 years from the dates of original
construction. CSRM also seeks relief
from § 215.303, Stenciling of restricted
cars, and part 224, to operate the cars
in excursion service. In support of its
request, CSRM states that the cars will
not be used in interchange or for
revenue freight service, and the
locomotive is primarily used to haul
passenger trains during daylight hours
or for yard switching operations. CSRM
also states that the equipment is
inspected regularly and in excellent
mechanical condition.

Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System
Under part 235 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49 U.S.C.
20502(a), this document provides the
public notice that on March 15, 2024,
Coos Bay Rail Line (CBRL) petitioned
the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) seeking approval to discontinue
or modify a signal system. FRA assigned
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:59 Apr 30, 2024
Jkt 262001
the petition Docket Number FRA–2024–
0042.
Specifically, CBRL requests to
discontinue the use of the signal system
located on the North Bend swing span
bridge, which will be replaced with
gates equipped with stop signs, distance
signs, and ‘‘craft specific locks’’ to
govern about 10 train crossings per
week over the bridge. CBRL states that
the signal system, at milepost 763.6 on
the Coos Bay Subdivision, ‘‘has been
subjected to years of regular vandalism
and theft,’’ which makes ‘‘maintaining
such a system particularly challenging.’’
Additionally, CBRL explains that ‘‘the
system also requires significant
updating and repairs stemming from a
structural failure that damaged multiple
components crucial to its reliable and
safe operation.’’ In support of its
request, CBRL states that the subject
trackage operates under yard limits
authority (GCOR rules 6.27 and 6.28)
and that the ‘‘more analog style system’’
it proposes to use will be a ‘‘more
tamper resistant alternative for
governing movement over the bridge.’’
CBRL also notes that another of its
swing bridges has used a similar system
for several years and has had no
recordable incidents.

written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
