DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2009–0009] 

Establishment of an Emergency Relief 

Docket for Calendar Year 2009 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of establishment of 

public docket. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

establishment of FRA’s emergency relief 

docket (ERD) for calendar year 2009. 

The designated ERD for calendar year 

2009 is docket number FRA–2009–0009. 

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section for further 

information regarding submitting 

petitions and/or comments to Docket 

No. FRA–2009–0009. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

9, 2007, FRA published a final rule 

addressing the establishment of ERDs 

and the procedures for handling 

petitions for emergency waivers of 

safety rules, regulations, or standards 

during an emergency situation or event. 

72 FR 17433. That final rule added 

§ 211.45 to the FRA’s Rules of Practice 

published at 49 CFR Part 211. Paragraph 

(b) of § 211.45 provides that each 

calendar year FRA will establish an ERD 

in the publicly accessible DOT docket 

system (available on the internet at 

http://www.regulations.gov). Paragraph 

(b) of § 211.45 further provides that FRA 

will publish a notice in the Federal 

Register identifying by docket number 

the ERD for that year. As noted in the 

final rule, FRA’s purpose for 

establishing the ERD and emergency 

waiver procedures is to provide an 

expedited process for FRA to address 

the needs of the public and the railroad 

industry during emergency situations or 

events. This Notice announces that the 

designated ERD for calendar year 2009 

is docket number FRA–2009–0009. 

As detailed § 211.45, if the FRA 

Administrator determines that an 

emergency event as defined in 49 CFR 

211.45(a) has occurred, or that an 

imminent threat of such an emergency 

occurring exists, and public safety 

would benefit from providing the 

railroad industry with operational relief, 

the emergency waiver procedures of 49 

CFR 211.45 will go into effect. In such 

an event, the FRA Administrator will 

issue a statement in the ERD indicating 

that the emergency waiver procedures 

are in effect and FRA will make every 

effort to post the statement on its Web 

site http://www.fra.dot.gov/. Any party 

desiring relief from FRA regulatory 

requirements as a result of the 

emergency situation should submit a 

petition for emergency waiver in 

accordance with 49 CFR 211.45(e) and 

(f). Specific instructions for filing 

petitions for emergency waivers in 

accordance with 49 CFR 211.45 are 

found at 49 CFR 211.45(f). Specific 

instructions for filing comments in 

response to petitions for emergency 

waivers are found at 49 CFR 211.45(h). 

Privacy 

Anyone is able to search 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 association, 

business, labor union, etc.). You may 

review DOT’s complete Privacy Act 

Statement in the Federal Register 

published on April 11, 2000 (Volume 

665, Number 7, Pages 19477–78). The 

statement may also be found at http:// 

www.dot.gov/privacy.html.

Standards and Program Development.
