          - [Docket Number FRA-2012-0031]

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated March 14, 2012, the City of Sacramento, CA (City), has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR Part 222. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2012-0031.

The City is seeking a waiver from the provisions of 49 CFR 222.9, the definition of a non-traversable curb, so that an existing public crossing, Power Inn Road (DOT #752887F), can be deemed an acceptable supplementary safety measure (SSM). The Power Inn Road crossing is equipped with flashing lights, gates, and medians that comply with all of the requirements necessary to be an SSM with non-traversable curbs; except for the fact that the posted highway speed limit is 45 mph instead of 40 mph, as required in the definition.

                    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at                     *www.regulations.gov*                     and in person at the  U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590.
