Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 9, 2024 / Notices
operating subsidiary, Norfolk Southern
Railway Company (NS), 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 231 (Railroad
Safety Appliance Standards). The
relevant Docket Number is FRA–2019–
0089.
In line with the requirements of
§ 231.6(a)(3)(i), on June 15, 1998, FRA
issued Technical Bulletin MP&E 98–69,
‘‘Safety Appliance Arrangements on Flat
Cars’’, recommending an additional
handhold for any flat car with a lowmounted side hand brake to allow for
the safe operation of the hand brake
while the car is in motion. NS seeks
continued relief to permit these
maintenance-of-way (MW) cars (CR
58535, NS 980011, and NS 986906) 1 to
remain in service with their current
hand brake arrangement and without
the additional handhold outlined in
MP&E 98–69.
NS indicated it will not operate the
hand brake on these MW cars while the
cars are in motion and has added
stenciling on the cars reading ‘‘DO NOT
OPERATE HAND BRAKE WHILE CAR
IS IN MOTION.’’ Additionally, a
handling message is added on the NS
Internal Alert System to notify
employees of the above directive.
NS stated that there have been ‘‘no
safety incidents involving this
equipment’’ since the waiver was last
granted. In support of the petition, NS
explained that the cars remining in
service with their current hand brake
arrangement reduces the number of
switching events that would be required
to repair the added handholds. This, in
turn, reduces the risk of injury and
derailment.
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
1 Since the original waiver was approved, NS
stated that 5 of the railcars have been retired and
dismantled, and a sixth railcar from the original
waiver is set to be retired and dismantled this year.
