[Docket Number FRA–2012–0068] 

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 July 18, 

2012, Housatonic Railroad Company,

service laws contained at 49 U.S.C.

Docket Number FRA–2012–0068. 

In its petition, HRRC seeks relief from 

49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4), which (in part) 

requires a train employee to receive 48 

hours off duty after initiating an on-duty 

period for 6 consecutive days. 

Specifically, HRRC seeks a waiver to 

allow a train employee to initiate an onduty period for 6 consecutive days 

followed by 24 hours off duty. In 

support of the request, HRRC submitted 

documents demonstrating employee 

support and a description of employee 

work schedules.

petition, is available for review online at

BILLING CODE 4910–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2001–10948] 

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 July 23, 

2012, Central Montana Rail, Inc. (CMR) 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for an extension 

of its waiver of compliance from a 

provision of the Federal hours of service 

laws contained at 49 U.S.C. 21103(a), as 

provided by 49 U.S.C. 21102(b). FRA 

assigned the petition Docket Number 

FRA–2001–10948. 

In their petition, CMR seeks relief 

from 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(2), which 

prohibits a train employee from 

remaining or going on duty for a period 

in excess of 12 consecutive hours. Title 

49 U.S.C. 21102(b) allows railroads with 

15 or fewer employees to petition for 

exemption from the restriction outlined 

at 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(2), but the 

exemption may not authorize a carrier 

to require or allow its employees to be 

on duty more than a total of 16 hours 

in a 24-hour period. In support of its 

request, CMR explained that the 

allowance for train crews to accumulate 

up to 16 hours of time on duty has not 

impacted safety negatively, and that this 

allowance is only used occasionally. 

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 U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590. The Docket 

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal Holidays.
