during this period. In making a waiver 

determination, the FAA will consider a 

significant number of cancellations 

during those periods because of weather 

at a destination airport. 

FAA Decision 

In consideration of the foregoing, 

ATA’s request for a grant of waiver is 

DENIED. Carriers who were uniquely 

affected by winter weather during 

January and February 2011 may request 

a limited grant of waiver. However, any 

request must detail the hardship caused 

by the snowstorms and demonstrate that 

hardship was not caused or exacerbated 

by underutilization of allocated slots. 

The FAA will carefully consider these 

individual requests for waiver.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release property at the Northeast 

Philadelphia Airport under the 

provisions of Section 47125(a) of Title 

49 U.S.C. On March 28, 2011, the FAA 

determined that the request to release 

property at the Northeast Philadelphia 

Airport submitted by the City of 

Philadelphia (City) met the procedural 

requirements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The City requests the release of real 

property, totaling 3.5 acres, of 

aeronautical airport property, to Biagio 

DeSimone. The land was originally 

purchased with City funds in 1945. The 

purpose of the release is to sell the land 

that was airport property to Biagio 

DeSimone, the current tenant. The 

property is located at 11295 E. Roosevelt 

Boulevard. The Parcel is currently 

leased to a tenant operating as a 

dealership and is improved with a 6,225 

square foot building being used by the 

tenant in the operation of its automobile 

dealership and a gravel parking lot for 

customers of the dealership. The Parcel 

is not contiguous to the area being 

operated as the Northeast Philadelphia 

Airport. The subject land does not serve 

an aeronautical purpose and is not 

needed for airport development, as 

shown on the Airport Layout Plan. All 

proceeds from the sale of property are 

to be used for the capital development 

of the airport. Fair Market Value (FMV) 

will be obtained from the land sale and 

reinvested back in the airport. 

Any person may inspect the request 

by appointment at the FAA office 

address listed above. Interested persons 

are invited to comment on the proposed 

release from obligations. All comments 

will be considered by the FAA to the 

extent practicable.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Safety Advisory 2011–01 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Safety Advisory; 

equipment fouling adjacent tracks. 

SUMMARY: FRA is issuing Safety 

Advisory 2011–01 to remind each 

railroad and railroad employees of the 

importance of compliance with Federal 

regulations and railroad operating rules 

regarding rolling equipment being left in 

a location that is clear of any adjacent 

tracks. This safety advisory contains 

various recommendations to railroads to 

ensure that this issue is addressed by 

appropriate policies and procedures, 

and receives employee compliance. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron 

Hynes, Director, Office of Safety 

Assurance and Compliance, Office of 

Railroad Safety, FRA, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, 

telephone (202) 493–6404; or Joseph St. 

Peter, Trial Attorney, Office of Chief 

Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, 

SE., Washington, DC 20590, telephone 

(202) 493–6047. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

overall safety of railroad operations in 

the area of equipment securement and 

protection has improved in recent years. 

However, two recent fatal incidents 

highlight the need to review and adhere 

to existing Federal regulations and 

railroad operating rules pertaining to 

rolling equipment being left in a 

location that is clear of any adjacent 

tracks. 

On May 18, 2005, the Railroad Safety 

Advisory Committee (RSAC) authorized 

the RSAC Operating Rules Working 

Group to address eight human factors 

(HF) train accident report cause codes 

that were attributed to nearly half (47 

percent) of all HF-caused train accidents 

nationwide. On February 13, 2008, FRA 

published a final rule addressing those 

HF causes, which was codified at Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

Part 218, Subpart F (Subpart F). Two of 

those eight HF cause codes, H301 and 

H302, were designated for rolling 

equipment left out to foul. From 2005 to 

2010, HF-caused train accidents, 

attributed to these two cause codes, 

were reduced by 66 percent. 

Unfortunately, despite that overall 

improvement, the rail industry 

experienced two recent railroad 

employee fatalities that appear to have 

been related to equipment being left in 

a location where it fouled an adjacent 

track. 

Recent Incidents 

The following is a discussion of the 

circumstances surrounding two recent 

fatal incidents, and is based only on 

FRA’s preliminary investigations. The 

incidents are still under investigation by 

FRA. The causes and contributing 

factors, if any, have not yet been 

established. Therefore, nothing in this 

safety advisory is intended to attribute 

a cause to the incidents or place
