II. Legal Basis 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315 to grant exemptions 

from certain Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). FMCSA 

must publish a notice of each exemption 

request in the Federal Register (49 CFR 

381.315(a)). The Agency must provide 

the public an opportunity to inspect the 

information relevant to the application, 

including any safety analyses that have 

been conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. 

The Agency reviews safety analyses 

and public comments submitted, and 

determines whether granting the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to, or greater than, 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)) with the reasons for 

denying or granting the application and, 

if granted, the name of the person or 

class of persons receiving the 

exemption, and the regulatory provision 

from which the exemption is granted. 

The notice must also specify the 

effective period and explain the terms 

and conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.300(b)). 

III. Request for Exemption 

Allied seeks an exemption from the 

restriction of the record of duty status 

(RODS) exception for short-haul 

operations to drivers who return to their 

normal work reporting location within 

12 hours [49 CFR 395.1(e)(1)(ii)(A)]. 

Specifically, Allied requests that their 

beverage truck delivery drivers be 

treated the same as drivers operating 

ready-mixed concrete delivery vehicles 

as provided in 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1)(ii)(B). 

Section 395.1(e)(1)(ii)(B) states that the 

driver of a ready-mixed concrete 

delivery vehicle may return to the workreporting location and be released from 

work within 14 consecutive hours 

without losing the short-haul exception. 

The requested exemption would apply 

to all of Allied’s beverage trucks and 

drivers. 

Allied is an interstate private carrier 

headquartered in New Jersey consisting 

of 186 vehicles and 198 drivers. The 

exemption is requested to simplify and 

eliminate the need for paper RODS or 

the cost of installing electronic logging 

devices needed for the recording of duty 

status between the 12th and 14th hour 

of duty when utilizing the short-haul 

exception for operations within a 100 

air-mile radius. Their drivers work on a 

4-day work week and on occasion and 

at times during peak holiday seasons 

work past the 12th hour of duty. They 

are in the same town doing multiple 

stops often crossing town lines only to 

return to complete a stop that was not 

open or required a specific time 

delivery. To log every event change is a 

difficult if not impossible task. At times 

the CMV is in a particular area for at 

most several minutes. Employee’s total 

driving time for the day is minimal, 

with 25–35 stops—the majority of their 

time—spent hand unloading their 

products. Allied operates two 

warehouses in New Jersey, dispatching 

so as to avoid traveling long distances. 

Allied asserts that this exemption 

would have no impact on the safety of 

its fleet or of the general public, as this 

is primarily about a recording 

requirement. Its drivers’ hours are 

recorded and retained by an automated 

data processing system and in addition 

all of their vehicles are under a global 

positioning system tracking system 

provided by Fleetmatics and Roadnet 

dispatching. Allied continues to strive 

for a safer fleet and the increased safety 

of the general public. Allied is also 

exploring the possibility of installing an 

onboard event camera system to help 

the company better monitor its vehicles. 

A copy of the Allied’s application for 

exemption is available for review in the 

docket for this notice.

BILLING CODE 4910–EX–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2018–0050] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

provides the public notice that by a 

letter dated May 1, 2018, the County of 

Sonoma (County), California, has 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR part 222. FRA 

assigned the petition docket number 

FRA–2018–0050. 

The County seeks a waiver from 49 

CFR 222.9, definition of ‘‘quiet zone,’’ 

meaning ‘‘a segment of rail line, within 

which is situated one or a number of 

consecutive public highway-rail 

crossings at which locomotive horns are 

not routinely sounded.’’ The County 

wishes to establish a quiet zone 

consisting of ten private highway-rail 

grade crossings, without a public 

highway-rail grade crossing in the quiet 

zone. The County states it believes 

‘‘safety will not be negatively impacted 

since [Sonoma Marin Area Rapid 

Transit (SMART)] provided input on 

concerns and safety measures during the 

diagnostic review.’’ The County 

explains the private crossings are either 

in remote areas, are rarely used, and 

monitored by SMART, or are equipped 

with active warning devices. 

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 

the Department of Transportation’s 

Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New 

Jersey Ave. SE, W12–140, Washington, 

DC 20590. The Docket Operations
