Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2003-15012]


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 February 28, 2024, Canadian 
National Railway Company (CN) 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 241 (United States Locational Requirements for 
Dispatching of United States Rail Operations). The relevant FRA Docket 
Number is FRA-2003-15012.Specifically, CN requests an extension of 
relief pursuant to 49 CFR 241.7(c), Fringe border dispatching, to allow 
the continuation of Canadian dispatching of two locations in the United 
States: the portion of the Sprague Subdivision extending approximately 
43.8 miles between Baudette and International Boundary, Minnesota, and 
the portion of the Strathroy Subdivision extending approximately 3.1 
miles between Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, through the St. Clair River 
Tunnel, to Port Huron, Michigan.\1\ In support of its request, CN 
states that, since the initial waiver was granted, ``each of these 
fringe border segments ha[ve] been regularly and safety dispatched from 
Canada'' and this extension would allow CN to ``continue what it has 
been safely doing for decades.'' CN explains that changing dispatching 
to the United States on this section of the Sprague Subdivision ``would 
introduce two [dispatching] hand-offs, given that the track only 
briefly enters the United States before re-entering Canada.'' 
Additionally, in reference to the portion of track on the Strathroy 
Subdivision, CN states that grating the waiver extension ``avoids any 
risk or safety concern associated with a [dispatching] hand-off in the 
middle of a single-track underwater tunnel.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Both of these locations are defined in appendix A to part 
241, List of Lines Being Extraterritorially Dispatched in Accordance 
with the Regulations Contained in 49 CFR part 241, Revised as of 
October 1, 2002.
