[Docket Number FRA–2012–0034] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

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 

21, 2012, the City of Nevada, Iowa 

(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–2012–0034. 

The City is seeking a waiver from the 

provisions of 49 CFR 222.35(b), which 

requires active grade crossing warning 

devices at public crossings within a new 

quiet zone be equipped with constant 

warning time devices, so that the active 

grade crossing warning devices at South 

West 4th Street (DOT #199653D) are not 

required to be equipped with a constant 

warning time device in order to be 

included in a new quiet zone.

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov and in person at
