BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Pursuant to title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) part 235 and 49 

U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) seeking approval 

for the discontinuance or modification 

of the signal system or relief from the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 236, as 

detailed below. 

Docket Number FRA–1998–4821 

Applicant: Mr. Timothy R. Luhm, 

Canadian National, Manager S&C, 

17641 South Ashland Avenue, 

Homewood, Illinois 60430. 

The Canadian National (CN) seeks an 

extension for an additional 5 years of a 

waiver on the former Duluth, Missabe 

and Iron Range Railway Company 

(DMIR) that permits the railroad to 

utilize wheel counters to detect trains 

over the spans of their steel deck 

bridges. This waiver was granted by 

FRA on January 29, 2001, was renewed 

on April 25, 2006, and will currently 

expire on April 25, 2011. In addition to 

the extension, CN requests that the 

allowable maximum authorized speed 

over the subject bridges be increased 

from 25 miles per hour (mph) to 40 

mph. 

The Applicant’s justification for the 

request is that during the past 10 years 

in which the wheel counters have been 

in service on the DMIR, no incidents 

have occurred at the location of the 

wheel counter devices. Any failures in 

the wheel counter devices have been 

failsafe, resulting in train operations at 

restricted speed. During the past 10 

years, no broken rails occurred on the 

bridges where such systems are 

installed. As for the increase in 

maximum authorized speed from 25 to 

40 mph, CN states that train handling 

will be improved and safety enhanced 

due to less frequent speed transitions. In 

addition, steel-deck bridges on the 

DMIR in signaled territory that have 

traditional signal system trap circuits 

are not restricted in maximum 

authorized speed. 

Any interested party desiring to 

protest the granting of an application 

shall set forth specifically the grounds 

upon which the protest is made, and 

include a concise statement of the 

interest of the party in the proceeding. 

Additionally, one copy of the protest 

shall be furnished to the applicant at the 

address listed above. 

FRA expects to be able to determine 

these matters without an oral hearing. 

However, if a specific request for an oral 

hearing is accompanied by a showing 

that the party is unable to adequately 

present his or her position by written 

statements, an application may be set 

for public hearing. 

All communications concerning this 

proceeding should be identified by 

Docket Number FRA–1998–4821 and 

may be submitted by one of the 

following methods: 

• Web site: http:// 

www.regulations.gov Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments 

on the DOT electronic site; 

• Fax: 202–493–2251; 

• Mail: Docket Management Facility, 

U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200

• Hand Delivery: Room W12–140 of 

the U.S. Department of Transportation 

West Building Ground Floor, 1200 New 

Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC, 

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Communications received within 30 

days of the date of this notice will be 

considered by FRA before final action is 

taken. Comments received after that 

date will be considered as far as 

practicable. All written communications 

concerning these proceedings are 

available for examination during regular 

business hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m.) at the 

above facility. All documents in the 

public docket are also available for 

inspection and copying on the Internet 

at the docket facility’s Web site at 

http://www.regulations.gov. 

FRA wishes to inform all potential 

commenters that anyone is able to 

search the electronic form of all 

comments received into any of our 

dockets by the name of the individual 

submitting the comment (or signing the 

comment, if submitted on behalf of an
