[FR Doc. 2024–15614 Filed 7–15–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–EX–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA–2019–0064] khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Petition for Amendment of Waiver of Compliance Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by letters dated February 28, 2024, and May 13, 2024, BNSF Railway (BNSF) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an amendment of a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 232 (Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment; Endof-Train Devices). The relevant Docket Number is FRA–2019–0064. Specifically, BNSF requests to add a location to its existing waiver from § 232.205(b)(2), Single car air brake tests, which permits BNSF to change the repair track designation (per § 232.303, General requirements) so that the track on which in-train wheel replacements are performed is not designated a shop or repair track. Accordingly, a single car air brake test (SCABT) is not required on each car undergoing an in-train wheelset replacement, but BNSF proposes to perform a SCABT on any VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:55 Jul 15, 2024 Jkt 262001 City County Seattle .................... King ........................ car with an FRA-condemnable wheel defect as defined in § 232.303(b)(5). The relief currently applies to specific yard tracks for wheelset replacement at several BNSF facilities, and with this request, BNSF seeks to add the Missoula, Montana, location to the program. In support of its request, BNSF states that this program ‘‘reduces the number of wheels in revenue service with elevated KIP impact readings contributing to the safety and longevity of [the] rail infrastructure.’’ Further, BNSF states that the program ‘‘enhances safety by improving the reliability of the rolling stock and simultaneously reducing potential causes of surface rail defects that can elevate the risks of derailments’’ from higher KIP wheels. 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.
