Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2013–0081] 

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 July 19, 

2013, the Association of American 

Railroads (AAR) 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 231.33. 

FRA assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2013–0081. 

AAR, on behalf of itself and its 

member railroads, submitted a petition 

for special approval of existing industry 

safety appliance standards. AAR is 

requesting approval of the standards 

and specifications delineated in AAR 

Standard S–2044 and its detailed 

appendices. AAR Standard S–2044 

establishes requirements for safety 

appliance arrangements applied to 

certain new railroad freight cars. 

AAR Standard S–2044 was 

established by the AAR Safety 

Appliance Task Force (Task Force), 

which was created by AAR’s Equipment 

Engineering Committee to develop 

industry standards for safety appliance 

arrangements on modern railcar types 

not explicitly covered by 49 CFR Part 

231. The Task Force consists of 

representatives from Class I railroads, 

labor unions, car builders, private car 

owners, and shippers, along with 

ergonomics experts and government 

representatives from FRA and Transport 

Canada who participate as non-voting 

members. The Task Force drafted a base 

safety appliance standard for all car 

types, plus industry safety appliance 

standards for specific car types. These 

industry standards have been adopted 

by AAR’s Engineering Equipment 

Committee and, with FRA’s 

concurrence, will serve as the core 

criteria for safety appliance 

arrangements on railcars that are more 

specialized in design. With its petition, 

AAR submitted detailed appendices 

establishing the required safety 

appliance arrangements for individual 

car types. AAR also included deviation 

tables that show where the AAR 

standard differs from the regulatory text 

and provide the rationale for any 

deviations, along with analysis showing 

that the AAR standard provides an 

equal or greater level of safety in each 

instance. In addition, the tables describe 

the ergonomic suitability of many of the 

proposed arrangements in normal use, 

as the standards were developed by the 

Task Force to incorporate ergonomic 

design principles. 

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 Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590. The Docket 

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal Holidays.
