DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

In accordance with part 211 of title 49

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),

notice is hereby given that the Federal

Railroad Administration (FRA) received

a request for a waiver of compliance

with a provision of the Federal hours of

service laws (108 Stat. 888, Pub. L. 103–

272, 49 U.S.C. 21106). The Federal

hours of service laws currently make it

unlawful for a railroad to construct or

reconstruct sleeping quarters for certain

employees if the sleeping quarters are in

an area or in the immediate vicinity of

an area as determined under regulations

prescribed by the Secretary of

Transportation in which railroad

switching or humping operations are

performed. See 49 U.S.C. 21101 and

21106. Title 49 CFR part 228, subpart C,

defines FRA’s distance requirements for

construction, reconstruction, and/or

acquisition of sleeping quarters.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway

Company (BNSF)

[Waiver Petition Docket No. FRA–1999–

5107]

BNSF petitions for approval to utilize

a facility to be constructed, owned, and

operated by a third party which will be

located within one-half mile of railroad

switching operations at Thayer,

Missouri. See 49 CFR 228.103. BNSF

states that the planned structure will be

a commercial lodging facility that is

open to the general public. BNSF

proposes to enter into a lodging contract

with the new facility owner to guarantee

room availability for its train and engine

crews operating in and out of Thayer.

Crews are presently housed at a motel

in White Plains, Missouri,

approximately 27 miles from Thayer.

The petitioner indicates that granting

the exemption will not adversely affect

safety.

Interested parties are invited to

participate in these proceedings by

submitting written views, data, or

comments. FRA does not anticipate

scheduling a public hearing in

connection with these proceedings since

the facts do not appear to warrant a

hearing. If any interested party desires

an opportunity for oral comment, they

should notify FRA, in writing, before

the end of the comment period and

specify the basis for their request.

All communications concerning these

proceedings should identify the

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver

Petition Docket Number 1999–5107) and

must be submitted to the Docket Clerk,

DOT Docket Management Facility,

Room PL–401 (Plaza Level), 400 7th

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.

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
