Federal Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR), notice is hereby given that the 

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance with certain requirements of 

its safety standards. The individual 

petition is described below, including 

the party seeking relief, the regulatory 

provisions involved, the nature of the 

relief being requested, and the 

petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief. 

City of Placentia, California 

[Docket Number FRA–2006–24654] 

The City of Placentia, California (City) 

and BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) 

have petitioned for a second extension 

to the waiver granted on June 21, 2006, 

in FRA Docket No. FRA–2006–24654. In 

the June 21, 2006 waiver, FRA agreed to 

extend the original deadline of June 24, 

2006, set forth in 49 CFR 222.42 for 

continuation of an intermediate partial 

quiet zone until September 22, 2006. 

Subsequently, FRA received a waiver 

requesting an extension of September 

22, 2006, to January 20, 2007, from the 

parties. FRA granted this extension on 

September 21, 2006. In this current 

request, the City and BNSF state that 

they will be unable to meet the January 

20, 2007, deadline due to technical 

problems with the radio 

communications system that required 

the ordering of new radio equipment 

and the need to conduct a 30-day test 

period of the radio communications 

system. The City and BNSF seek to 

retain the current partial quiet zone in 

order to avoid disruption and confusion 

in the interim and state that safety will 

not be compromised. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data or 

comments. Each comment shall 

specifically set forth the basis upon 

which it is made and contain a concise 

statement of the interest of the 

commenter in the proceeding. FRA does 

not anticipate the need to schedule a 

public hearing in connection with this 

proceeding since the facts do not appear 

to warrant a hearing. If any interested 

party desires an opportunity to 

comment, they should notify FRA in 

writing within 15 days of the date of 

publication of this notice and specify

taken. Comments received after that 

date will be considered as far as 

practicable. FRA reserves the right to 

grant temporary relief to avoid lapse of 

the existing partial quiet zone while the 

comment period is open, after

New Jersey Transit Corporation 

[Supplement to Waiver Petition Docket 

Number FRA–1999–6135] 

As a supplement to New Jersey 

Transit Corporation’s (NJ Transit) 

Petition for Approval of Shared Use and 

Waiver of Certain FRA Regulations (the 

original shared use waiver was granted 

by the FRA Railroad Safety Board on 

December 3, 1999, and a five year 

extension was granted by the FRA 

Railroad Safety Board on May 2, 2005), 

NJ Transit is making signal 

improvements between CP45 and CP70 

in order to create an ‘‘Extended 

Temporal Separation Mode’’ of 

operation. This will allow NJ Transit 

and Conrail to safely share a limited and 

specific section of the River Line 

outside of the fixed-windows of 

temporal separation. NJ Transit submits 

that this request is consistent with the 

waiver process for Shared Use. See
