Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2011–0036] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR), this document provides the 

public notice that by a document dated 

April 11, 2011, the City of Chandler, 

AZ, 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–2011–0036. 

The City of Chandler is seeking a 

waiver from the provisions of 49 CFR 

Section 222.9 (specifically, the 

definition of a non-traversable curb) so 

that three existing public crossings (Ray 

Road (DOT #741579U), Pecos Road 

(DOT #741674P), and Germann Road 

(DOT #741676D)) can be deemed 

acceptable supplemental safety 

measures (SSM). The crossings, 

equipped with flashing lights, gates, and 

medians, comply with all requirements 

necessary to be ‘‘gates with medians or 

channelization devices’’ SSMs with 

non-traversable curbs; except that the 

posted highway speed limit is 45 mph 

instead of 40 mph as required in the 

definition. 

The City of Chandler is also seeking 

a waiver from the provisions of 49 CFR 

Section 222.35(b)(1) so that the active 

grade crossing warning devices at 

Commonwealth Avenue (DOT 

#741672B) and Frye Road (DOT 

#741673H) are not required to be 

equipped with constant warning time 

devices for the siding track at the 

crossings.

petition, is available for review online at
