**Random Drug and Alcohol Testing Percentage Rates of Covered Aviation**  **Employees for the Period of January 1, 2011, Through December 31, 2011** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA has determined that the minimum random drug and alcohol testing percentage rates for the period January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011, will remain at 25 percent of safety-sensitive employees for randomdrug testing and 10 percent of safetysensitive employees for random alcohol testing.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Mr. Kevin Kearns, Office of Aerospace Medicine, Drug Abatement Division, Program Administration Branch (AAM– 810), Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Room 806, Washington, DC 20591; Telephone (202) 267–8442.

Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR 120.109(b), the FAA Administrator’s decision on whether to change the minimum annual random drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug test positive rate for the entire aviation industry. If the reported random drug test positive rate is less than 1.00%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random drug testing rate at 25%. In 2009, the random drug test positive rate was 0.534%. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing rate will remain at 25% for calendar year 2011.

Similarly, 14 CFR 120.217(c), requires
the decision on the minimum annual random alcohol testing rate to be based
on the random alcohol test violation
rate. If the violation rate remains less than 0.50%, the Administrator may
continue the minimum random alcohol testing rate at 10%. In 2009, the random alcohol test violation rate was 0.088%. Therefore, the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10% for calendar year 2011.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  If you have questions about how the annual random testing percentage rates are determined please refer to the Code of Federal Regulations Title 14, section 120.109(b) (for drug testing), and 120.217(c) (for alcohol testing).

**Docket Number FRA–2010–0154**

**Notice of Application for Approval of**
**Discontinuance or Modification of a Railroad Signal System** 

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 as detailed below.

Applicant: Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company: Mr. John B. Mitchell, Deputy Chief of Engineering Operations, Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company, 32 Cobble Hill Road—Suite 3, Somerville,

MA 02143–4431.

The Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company (MBCR) seeks approval of the proposed modification of the signal system on the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line from milepost (MP) 1.4 Swift Interlocking, in Sommerville, Massachusetts, to but not including MP 25.6 CP—Martin St., in Acton, MA. By contract with the owner, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and in conjunction
with the Small Starts American Recovery and Rehabilitation Act (ARRA), MBCR will be installing
electronic track circuits on both tracks
1 and 2 to facilitate a bi-directional operation. New interlockings will be installed at MP 6, Horgan; MP 9, Beaver Brook; MP 10, Moody; MP 18, Hills; and MP 25, Maynard Junction. All interlockings will be equipped with colorlight LED type signal heads and
electric switch machines.

The interlockings at West Cambridge, Hill Crossing, and Clematis Brook will
be retired and South Acton will becomeMaynard Junction. The mechanical bedlocking interlocking machine at Waltham Tower will be retired. Twentysix existing automatic searchlight style signals will be retired, with twenty new automatic signals installed. The proposed modifications will retire a signal system comprised of dc neutral, mechanical, and searchlight type relays, and traffic control circuitry that operates via line wire and cable. Control of the territory will be transferred into the Commuter Rail Operations Control Center in Somerville, MA. This project is part of several projects designed to decrease passenger train trip time between Fitchburg, and Boston, MA.
