[Docket Number FRA–2008–0097]
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 May 8, 2024, New
Jersey Transit (NJT) 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 218 (Railroad
Operating Practices). The relevant
Docket Number is FRA–2008–0097.
Specifically, NJT requests continued
relief from § 218.29(c)(1), Alternate
methods of protection, which states that
‘‘when workers are on, under, or
between rolling equipment on any track,
other than main track: a derail . . . will
fulfill the requirements of a manually
operated switch when positioned no
less than 150 feet from the end [of] such
equipment.’’ This relief permits NJT to
instead apply the requirements of
§ 218.29(a)(4), which allows a derail to
be positioned ‘‘at least 50 feet from the
end of the equipment to be protected by
the blue signal,’’ at the Morrisville Yard
facility in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.
In support of its request, NJT states
that since the waiver has been in effect,
no accidents, incidents, or injuries have
occurred due to the relief. Additionally,
NJT continues to enforce a speed
restriction of 5 miles per hour and
ensure that a Yard Master is present at
the Morrisville Yard 7 days per week
and for 24 hours per day, per the
conditions of the relief.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
