DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2011–0078] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

this document provides the public 

notice that by a document dated 

September 26, 2011, Iowa Interstate 

Railroad, Ltd. (IAIS) 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 

230. FRA assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2011–0078. 

IAIS seeks relief from performing the 

fifth annual inspection as it pertains to 

the inspection of flexible staybolt caps 

every 5 years as required by 49 CFR 

230.41(a), and requests to extend the 

inspection interval to the tenth annual 

inspection. IAIS will perform all other 

inspections as required by 49 CFR 

230.16, Annual Inspection. IAIS’s 

justification for requesting this relief is 

that the current level of safety would be 

maintained due to the low number of 

service days accrued in this engine 

since the last flexible staybolt cap 

inspection. There will be a significant 

cost savings as the IAIS shop forces 

would not be required to remove the 

cab, piping, jacketing, and insulation to 

gain access to the caps to perform the 

staybolt cap inspection. IAIS estimates 

that it would take 3 months and five 

full-time employees to perform this 

inspection at a significant cost. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

http://www.regulations.gov and in

Transportation’s (DOT) Docket

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2011–0050] 

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) has 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance from 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. 

FRA has assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2011–0050. 

The Alaska Railroad Corporation 

(ARRC) has applied for extension of the 

clean, repair, and test intervals for air 

brake valves and related components, as 

required by the Railroad Locomotive 

Safety Standards found at Title 49 Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 

229.27, Annual tests, and Section 

229.29, Biennial tests. This relief has 

been requested for Locomotives ARRC 

4001–4016, which are equipped with 

New York Air Brake (NYAB) CCB–I 

brake systems; Locomotives ARRC 

4317–4328, which are equipped with 

NYAB CCB–II brake systems; and Diesel 

Multiple Unit ARRC 751, which is 

equipped with a NYAB CCB–II brake 

system. These units are also equipped 

with air dryers. Applications were 

originally submitted by ARRC for 

inclusion under the relief granted to the 

Association of American Railroads 

(AAR) by Waiver Docket Number FRA– 

2005–21613. However, the decision 

letter for that waiver specifically limits 

the relief to AAR member railroads. 

ARRC is not an AAR member; therefore, 

separate processing of these requests is 

necessary. 

In support of this petition, ARRC 

submitted letters from NYAB attesting 

to the essential similarity of the air 

brake systems on these units to air brake 

systems on locomotives tested and 

inspected at extended intervals and 

granted relief under FRA–2005–21613 

on CSX Transportation and the 

Canadian Pacific Railway. In addition, 

ARRC reported that they have 

experienced very few failures on units 

equipped with CCB brake systems, and 

that inspection of air brake components 

removed from Locomotives 4001–4016, 

at 5 years of age, ‘‘revealed exceptional 

cleanliness and no issues were noted 

which would prevent the continued 

serviceability of the parts or materials

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC 

is proposing to extend OMB approval of 

the following information collection: 

Title: Recordkeeping Requirements 

for Securities Transactions—12 CFR 

parts 12 and 151. 

OMB Number: 1557–0142. 

Description: This submission covers 

an existing regulation and involves no 

change to the regulation or to the 

information collection requirements. 

The only revisions to the submission are 

the revised estimates, which have been 

updated. 

The information collection 

requirements in 12 CFR parts 12 and 

151 are required to ensure national bank 

compliance with securities laws and to 

improve the protection afforded persons 

who purchase and sell securities 

through banks. The transaction 

confirmation information provides 

customers with a record regarding the 

transaction and provides banks and the 

OCC with records to ensure compliance 

with banking and securities laws and 

regulations. The OCC uses the required 

information in its examinations to, 

among other things, evaluate a bank’s 

compliance with the antifraud 

provisions of the Federal securities 

laws. 

The information collection 

requirements contained in 12 CFR part 

12 are as follows: 

• Section 12.3 requires a national 

bank effecting securities transactions for 

customers to maintain records for at 

least three years. The records required 

by this section must clearly and 

accurately reflect the information 

required and provide an adequate basis 

for the audit of the information. 

• 151.50 (a), (b), (c), and (d) requires 

savings associations to maintain an 

itemized daily records of each purchase 

and sale of securities in chronological 

order; they must maintain the account 

record of each customer; They must 

make and keep current a memorandum 

(order ticket) of each order or any other 

instructions given or received for the 

purchase or sale of securities; they must 

maintain a record of all registered 

broker-dealers that are selected to effect 

securities transactions and the amount 

of commissions that are made or 

allocated to each registered brokerdealer during each calendar year; and 

they must maintain a copy of the 

written notice required under subpart B 

of this part. 

• Section 12.4 requires a national 

bank to give or send to the customer a 

written notification of the transaction or 

a copy of the registered broker/dealer 

confirmation relating to the transaction. 

• Section 151.70 describes the type of 

notice a savings association must 

provide when they effect a securities 

transaction for a customer. 

• Sections 12.5(a), (b), (c), and (e) 

describe procedures a national bank 

may use as an alternative to complying 

with § 12.4, to notify customers of 

transactions in which the bank does not
