input from the public on the proposed 

revisions to TS–R–1. Comments are 

being solicited only on the changes 

made between the published 2009 

edition and the draft 2012 edition. 

The draft 2012 edition and the 2009 

version are available online in the 

public docket for this notice. To assist 

in comparing these two documents, the 

IAEA has prepared a table in which the 

original text (2009, as published) is 

compared with the proposed text (draft 

2012 edition); the table may also be 

found online in the public docket for 

this notice. A redline/strikeout version 

of the 2012 draft showing the changes 

from the 2009 version is also available 

in the docket. 

Any comments made should refer to 

the relevant paragraph number in the 

draft 2012 edition, and when 

appropriate, proposed alternative text. 

Please note that to date, PHMSA has 

harmonized the U.S. domestic 

hazardous materials regulations in 49 

CFR with the 1996 edition of TS–R–1, 

as revised in 2000 [Docket No. RSPA– 

99–6283 (HM–230)]. A rulemaking is in 

development which will be issued in 

draft for public review at a later date to 

harmonize with the 2009 edition of TS– 

R–1. PHMSA is not currently 

considering adoption of the 2012 

amendments. However, subsequent 

domestic compatibility rulemakings by 

both NRC and DOT will be considered 

after IAEA final publication of the 2012 

revised TS–R–1.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment and 

Request for Public Scoping Comments 

for the Air Tour Management Plan 

Program at Petrified Forest National 

Park 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA). 

ACTION: Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment and To 

request public scoping comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA, with National Park 

Service (NPS) as a cooperating agency, 

has initiated development of an Air 

Tour Management Plan (ATMP) for 

Petrified Forest National Park (Petrified 

Forest), pursuant to the National Parks 

Air Tour Management Act of 2000 (Pub. 

L. 106–181) and its implementing 

regulations (14 CFR Part 136, Subpart B, 

National Parks Air Tour Management). 

The objective of the ATMP is to develop 

acceptable and effective measures to 

mitigate or prevent the significant 

adverse impacts, if any, of commercial 

air tour operations on the natural 

resources, cultural resources, and visitor 

experiences of a national park unit and 

any Tribal lands within or abutting the 

park. It should be noted that the ATMP 

has no authorization over other non-airtour operations such as military and 

general aviation operations. In 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) and FAA Order 1050.1E, an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) is being 

prepared. 

In April 2010, the NPS and FAA held 

a two-day kickoff meeting at Petrified 

Forest; minutes may be found at: 

http://parkplanning.nps.gov/

projectHome.cfm?parkId=88

&projectId=30802. 

The purpose of the kickoff meeting 

was for the FAA and NPS to have the 

opportunity to share information 

regarding environmental and other 

issues to consider in the development of 

an ATMP. Materials presented at the 

meeting included information on: park 

resources; the acoustical environment at 

Petrified Forest; current and historical 

air tour operations; and representative 

air tour flight paths. In addition, 

Petrified Forest staff provided 

information regarding sensitive park 

resources, Tribal concerns, and tourism 

patterns. 

The FAA and NPS are now inviting 

the public, agencies, Tribes, and other 

interested parties to provide comments, 

suggestions, and input on the scope of 

issues to be addressed in the 

environmental process. 

DATES: By this notice, the FAA is 

requesting comments on the scope of 

the EA for the ATMP at Petrified Forest. 

Comments must be submitted by August 

2, 2010.

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 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. 

Port Authority Trans-Hudson 

Corporation 

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0104] 

The Port Authority Trans-Hudson 

Corporation (PATH) seeks a waiver of 

compliance with the Locomotive Safety 

Standards, 49 CFR 229.129(b)(2), which 

requires that the sound level of horns of 

locomotives manufactured before 

September 18, 2006, be tested before 

June 24, 2010. 

PATH operates a closed interstate rail 

transit system between New York and 

New Jersey, with no public highway-rail 

grade crossings. PATH is in the process 

of replacing its entire fleet of electric 

MU rail cars used in passenger service. 

To date, 122 new cars have been 

delivered and are in compliance with 

horn testing requirements for 

locomotives built after September 18, 

2006. PATH continues to operate 223 

electric MU railcars manufactured prior 

to the September 18, 2006, date that 

require testing. PATH will scrap all but 

52 of the cars built prior to September 

18, 2006, over the next 18 months. The 

52 remaining cars will be used as work 

cars (maintenance of way). 

PATH states that due to the size of the 

railroad, there is only one location 

(Harrison Yard) that meets the criteria of 

the horn testing requirements. This a 

storage yard, and to utilize this facility, 

would cause PATH to hold 4 storage 

tracks out of service which would 

cripple PATH’s operation. PATH 

requests a waiver from the horn testing 

requirements for the cars that were 

manufactured prior to September 18, 

2006, that will be scraped within the 

next 18 months and a reasonable 

extension of time period to test the 52 

cars they will retain for work service. 

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
