(HRRC) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the hours of service laws contained at title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) section 21103(a). The relevant Docket Number is FRA–2012–0068. Specifically, HRRC requested to extend its existing relief from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4), which in part, provides that a train PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48215 employee may not be required or allowed to remain or go on duty after that employee has initiated an on-duty period each day for 6 consecutive days, unless that employee has had at least 48 hours off duty at the employee’s home terminal. HRRC seeks to continue to allow a train employee to initiate an onduty period for 6 consecutive days followed by 24 hours off duty. HRRC states that its employees ‘‘have set start times, set days off and do not layover at away from home locations’’ and that HRRC ‘‘occasionally run[s] a crew on Sundays[,] if needed[,] for about six hours.’’ Additionally, HRRC states that the ‘‘total time on duty for these employees is below the 276-hour maximum time on-duty that is permitted per month.’’ A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov. Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested parties desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for their request. All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the appropriate docket number and may be submitted at www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Communications received by August 5, 2024 will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications and comments received into any of DOT’s dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to better inform its processes.
