[Docket No: FAA–2018–0526] 

Corrections to Previous Notice 

Regarding Supplemental Guidance on 

the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) 

for Fiscal Years 2018–2020 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), U.S. Department 

of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On July 9, 2018, the FAA 

published a Federal Register notice 

announcing the process for eligible 

airport sponsors in two categories to 

notify the FAA of any supplemental 

discretionary funding requests. This 

notice addresses two omissions, one 

correction and one update. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Elliott Black, Director, Office of Airport 

Planning and Programming, APP–1, at 

(202) 267–8775. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The July 

9, 2018 notice required airport sponsors 

to submit specific information via 

electronic mail (email) in order to 

request supplemental funding. In 

addition to the original requirements, 

for each request, the submission must 

also identify the total capital cost of the 

proposed project and the amount of 

funding being requested. 

In addition, the FAA is developing an 

optional form that may make it easier 

for airports to ensure they provide all 

required information. The FAA will 

post the form online at https://

www.faa.gov/airports/aip/aip_

supplemental_appropriation/. 

Accordingly, airports may still submit 

their requests via electronic mail (email) 

as stated in the original Federal Register 

notice, or they may complete the 

optional form and transmit it via email. 

In addition, the FAA may eventually 

develop a web-based electronic portal 

for submission of requests. If this 

happens, then the FAA will post an 

announcement on the same website, 

which now also supports automated 

notifications regarding updates for users 

who choose to subscribe to the website. 

Finally, in the July 9 notice, footnotes 

#6, 7 and 9 incorrectly referred to 

footnote #4. 

They should have referred instead to 

footnote #5. 

All other information, including 

submission requirements, evaluation 

criteria and deadlines remain 

unchanged from the original July 9 

notice. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 18, 

2018.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2007–28700] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides 

the public notice that by a letter dated 

May 31, 2018, Kansas City Southern 

Railway Company (KCSR) petitioned 

the Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA) for a modification of its waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR part 232. FRA 

assigned the petition Docket Number 

FRA–2007–28700. 

By letter dated December 11, 2017, 

KCSR received an extension of its 

conditional relief (originally granted by 

FRA on January 18, 2008) from 49 CFR 

232.205, Class I brake test-initial 

terminal inspection, and 49 CFR part 

215, Freight car safety standards, for 

freight cars received in interchange at 

the U.S./Mexico border crossing in 

Laredo, Texas, to permit required 

inspections to be conducted in Laredo 

Yard, approximately 9 miles north of 

the interchange point. In its present 

petition, KCSR requests clarification to 

perform the Class III air brake test 

required by condition #5 of FRA’s letter 

of December 11, 2017, at its Nuevo 

Laredo or Sanchez Yards, both of which 

are within 19 miles of its Laredo Yard. 

KCSR states that they and U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) have been 

working collaboratively with Mexican 

authorities to solve border security and 

operational challenges of the 

International Bridge complex. KCSR 

states their experience operating trains 

through the complex has demonstrated 

that when northbound trains stop on the 

International Bridge to meet the waiver 

requirement of performing a Class III air 

brake test, they experience a significant 

amount of safety risk. KCSR further 

states having to stop on the 

International Bridge to perform the 


jstallworth on DSKBBY8HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 142 / Tuesday, July 24, 2018 / Notices 35053 

Class III air brake test actually increases 

the risk of equipment damage due to 

vandalism/theft and increases the risk to 

the community due to blocked crossings 

and heavy pedestrian traffic south of the 

border in Nuevo Laredo. The 

Department of Homeland Security and 

CBP have said that trains coming to a 

complete stop at the International 

Border presents the greatest opportunity 

for theft, contraband and/or trespassers 

to gain access to trains entering the 

United States. KCSR states its requested 

clarification to perform the elements of 

the Class III air brake test in Nuevo 

Laredo or Sanchez Yards would mitigate 

these public safety concerns. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov and in person at

(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200
