DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2023–0066] 

Petition for Waivers of Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on August 10, 2023, Georgia Central 

Railway, L.P. and Heart of Georgia 

Railroad, Inc. (Petitioners) submitted a 

request to the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) under 49 CFR 

211.51 for approval of a test program, 

and the temporary suspension of certain 

FRA safety regulations in connection 

with that program (Program). Petitioners 

explain that the proposed test program 

involves a system of a ‘‘novel, selfpropelled, zero-emission, batteryelectric rail vehicle’’ (Vehicle) and its 

associated computer and telemetry 

technology (System), manufactured by 

Parallel Systems, Inc. Petitioners state 

that the goal of the technology is to 

provide smaller freight railroads an 

opportunity to meaningfully compete in 

the short-haul transportation of 

containers, and the technology also 

provides ‘‘numerous public benefits for 

the environment, the economy, the 

national highway system, and 

communities disproportionately 

impacted by highway movement of 

containers.’’ Petitioners contend that 

‘‘safety is an overriding focus of the 

proposed program’’ and the Pilot Test 

Safety Plan is included in Exhibit C of 

the submission. Petitioners state that the 

Program is ‘‘designed to evaluate the 

effectiveness of the system and new 

operational approaches to rail vehicle 

technology in the short-haul movement 

of containers.’’

FRA has conducted a preliminary 

review of Petitioner’s application to 

determine whether it meets the 

minimum regulatory requirements and 

provides enough information to be 

actionable by FRA, and FRA has found 

the application complete. However, 

upon analyzing the request, FRA has 

decided to treat Petitioners’ application 

as a request for waivers of compliance 

under the relevant provisions of 49 CFR 

part 211. FRA will also review 

Petitioners’ request for a test program 

under 49 CFR 211.51. 

FRA assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2023–0066. A copy of the 

petition, as well as any written 

communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov. 

Petitioners assert that suspending 

(waiving) certain provisions of the 

Federal railroad safety regulations is 

necessary for the conduct of the 

Program, and, accordingly, Petitioners 

request that FRA temporarily suspend 

certain provisions of the CFR 

throughout the Program. Specifically, 

petitioners request relief from specific 

regulatory requirements during each 

phase of testing, as listed in the table 

below: 

SUMMARY OF REGULATORY RELIEF REQUESTED

Reference Regulation summary Basis for relief Petitioner comments 

Part 218, subpart 

D.

Operating Practices—Prohibition Against Tampering with Safety Devices: §§ 218.55–59 

prohibit disabling of safety devices or knowingly operating a train with disabled safety 

devices.

In order to support testing of certain features 

of the System, some Program procedures 

will require installing, removing, disabling, 

and bypassing onboard sensors, self-diagnostic devices, and other devices of the Vehicles.

Alternative safety protections designed to mitigate the risks associated with the disabled 

functions will remain operative even if safety 

devices on the Vehicles are disabled. The 

petitioner’s safety plan (Safety Plan) is included as Appendix A to the petition. 

Part 229 .............. Locomotive Safety Standards—multiple provisions of part 229 require suspension given 

the unique design of the Vehicle and the 

braking system.

In summary, the following design features of 

the System and characteristics of the Program are directly related to the part 229 

temporary suspension requests: 

—Remotely Directed Operation. 

—Platooning Capability. 

—Alternative Braking Technology. 

For those aspects of the requested part 229 

temporary suspensions that are not predicated on the absence of conventional features due to remotely directed operation, the 

platooning capability or the alternate braking 

technology of the Vehicle, the procedures 

and the System design and operational features explained in the Safety Plan will assure safety. 

229.9, Movement of Non-Complying Locomotives: § 229.9(a)(3).The provision requires tagging of the locomotive at certain locations. This Vehicle 

does not have a locomotive cab.

present on conventional locomotives. 

229.71, Clearance Above Top of Rail: § 229.71 This provision prohibits any part or appliance 

to be less than 2.5 inches above the top of 

rail.

The Vehicle will comply with § 229.71 except 

that if test data indicates that the Vehicle 

does not reliably activate track circuits by 

shunting, electrical rail contacts may be 

added less than 2.5 inches above the top of 

rail to improve shunting performance for the 

testing program. 

229.115(a), (c), Slip/Side Alarms: § 229.115(a) 

and (c).

This provision requires audible and visual 

alarms in the cab if wheels slip or slide. This 

Vehicle does not have a cab.

SUMMARY OF REGULATORY RELIEF REQUESTED—Continued 

Reference Regulation summary Basis for relief Petitioner comments 

229.137, Sanitation, General Requirements 

and 229.139, Sanitation, Servicing Requirements.

These provisions are premised upon having a 

locomotive cab.

This Vehicle does not have a cab. 

229.141, Body Structure, MU Locomotives: 

§ 229.141.

These provisions are premised upon the MU 

locomotive cars being coupled together. 

This Vehicle does not couple.

Safety Plan sections 2.7 and 5.4 describe the 

safety features of the platooning technology 

that offer an alternative safety standard to 

traditional coupling, brake, and lead locomotive systems. 

Part 229, subpart D, Locomotive Crashworthiness Design Requirements: 

§§ 229.201–206.

These provisions are premised upon having a 

locomotive cab.

This vehicle does not have a cab. 

229.311, Review of Locomotive Electronics 

Safety Analysis Before Use: §§ 229.301–319.

Petitioner seeks temporary suspension of the 

60-day notice requirement and will provide 

details throughout the testing program.

Petitioner will comply with the rest of part 229, 

subpart E, including being subject to FRA’s 

authority to audit the safety analysis any 

time after the System is placed in use under 

the Program. 

Part 231 .............. Railroad Safety Appliance Standards— 

—§ 231.6(a), Handbrakes, 

—§ 231.6(d), End Handholds, 

—§ 231.6(e), Uncoupling Levers. 

These provisions that detail the placement and 

design of safety appliance equipment are 

not applicable to this alterative Vehicle design.

This temporary suspension request is predicated on the fact that the Vehicles will not 

have and do not need ladders, running 

boards or drawbars. 

Part 232 .............. Brake System Safety Standards for Freight 

and Other Non-Passenger Trains and 

Equipment; End-of-Train Devices 

—232.103(f), (g), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (o), General Requirements for All Train Brake Systems. 

—232.205–212, Brake Tests. 

—232.215, Transfer Train Brake Tests. 

—232.303, General Requirements (for periodic 

maintenance). 

—232.305, Single Car Air Brake Tests. 

—232, subpart E, End-of-Train Devices. 

—232.503, Process to Introduce New Brake 

System Technology. 

—232.505, Pre-Revenue Service Acceptance 

Testing Plan. 

Certain design features of the Vehicle, including its platooning capability and alternative 

braking technology, are drivers of the part 

232 temporary suspension requests. The 

Vehicles will not be coupled, and the Program will test a novel braking technology 

that is different than air brakes and evaluate 

the effectiveness of the self-monitoring capabilities of the Vehicles.

The testing program includes extensive testing 

of the new brake system technology and will 

be iterative. FRA test monitoring will review 

the results of testing as the testing progresses through the various stages.

The Petitioner will conduct inspections and 

tests that are functionally similar to the requirements of part 232. Analogous functional features of the novel braking technology will be inspected and tested, but inspections and tests will reference components and metrics that are relevant to the 

design of the novel brake technology. 

Part 236 .............. Rules, Standards, and Instructions Governing 

the Installation, Inspection, Maintenance, 

and Repair of Signal and Train Control Systems, Devices, and Appliances, § 236.913 

Product Safety Plan for Processor-Based 

Signal and Train Control Systems.

This testing will be performed in dark territory 

under track warrant control. Special test provisions will be in place to protect the testing. 

The Vehicle is not equipped with a traditional train control system.

Future development of this Vehicle will likely 

include interface between the locomotive 

electronics and a signal and train control 

system. 

Parts 240 and 

242.

Qualification and Certification of Engineers 

and Conductors 

—240.103 and 242.103 Approval of Design of 

Individual Railroad Programs by FRA.

The remotely directed operation of the Vehicle 

alters the traditional role and requirements 

of Engineers and Conductors. This test program will be used to determine the qualification and certification requirements for Engineers and Conductors operating a Vehicle 

by remotely directed operation.

This testing will be performed by trained testing professionals following the test program 

and Safety Plan. The test program will be 

supported by qualified and certified Georgia 

Central Railway and Heart of Georgia Railroad Engineers and Conductors. 

Recognizing that 49 CFR part 231 

involves compliance with certain 

statutory requirements, Petitioners also 

request that FRA exercise its authority 

under 49 U.S.C. 20306 to exempt the 

rail equipment involved in the Program 

from the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

20302, which, in part, requires rail 

equipment to be equipped with certain 

safety appliances (e.g., couplers, sill 

steps, hand brakes, grab irons, hand 

appliances, and power brakes). In 

accordance with 49 U.S.C. 20306, FRA 

may exempt Petitioners from these 

statutory requirements based on 

evidence received and findings 

developed at a hearing demonstrating 

that the statutory requirements 

‘‘preclude the development or 

implementation of more efficient 

railroad transportation equipment or 

other transportation innovations under 

existing law’’ 1 or an ‘‘agreement 

between national railroad labor 

representatives and the developer of the 

new equipment or technology.’’ 2

FRA views the petition as consisting 

of (1) a request for the temporary 

suspension of certain FRA regulations 

or waivers of compliance, and (2) a 

request for approval of a centralized test 

program that would utilize that 

requested relief. FRA intends to review 

Petitioners’ requests for temporary 

suspension of the above-listed 

regulatory requirements as petitions for 

waivers of compliance pursuant to 49 

CFR part 211, subpart C. FRA will also 

review the proposed test program under 

49 CFR 211.51 and will address its 

evaluation of the test program in a 

separate decision after it completes its 

review of the requested waivers. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments relating to the Program, the 

temporary waiver of regulations, or 

both. If any interested party desires an 

opportunity for oral comment and a 

public hearing, they should notify FRA, 

in writing, before the end of the 

comment period and specify the basis 

for their request. In addition, absent an 

agreement under 49 U.S.C. 20306(b)(2), 

FRA will hold a hearing on Petitioners’ 

application and notice of such hearing 

will be published at a later date. 

All communications concerning these 

proceedings should identify Docket 

Number FRA–2023–0066 and may be 

submitted at www.regulations.gov, and 

follow the online instructions for 

submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to issue 

two notices seeking public comment on 

information collection activities before 

OMB may approve paperwork packages. 

See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 

through 1320.12. On November 2, 2023, 

FRA published a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register soliciting comment on 

the ICR for which it is now seeking 

OMB approval. See 88 FR 75368. FRA 

received no comments related to the 

proposed collection of information. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve the proposed collection of 

information, it must provide 30 days for 

public comment. Federal law requires 

OMB to approve or disapprove 

paperwork packages between 30 and 60 

days after the 30-day notice is 

published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR 

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983 

Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes the 30-day 

notice informs the regulated community 

to file relevant comments and affords 

the agency adequate time to digest 

public comments before it renders a 

decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. 

Therefore, respondents should submit 

their respective comments to OMB 

within 30 days of publication to best 

ensure having their full effect. 

Comments are invited on the 

following ICR regarding: (1) whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of 

the burden of the information collection 

activities, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

determine the estimates; (3) ways for 

FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information being 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of information collection 

activities on the public, including the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

The summary below describes the ICR 

that FRA will submit for OMB clearance 

as the PRA requires: 

Title: Workforce Development Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0621. 

Abstract: FRA has statutory 

responsibility to ensure the safety of 

railroad operations under 49 U.S.C. 

20103. To conduct safe railroad 

operations, the workforce must have the 

requisite knowledge and skills to 

operate equipment and utilize 

technologies. FRA therefore seeks to 

promote workforce development 

policies and standards to ensure that the 

workforce has the necessary knowledge 

and skills to conduct safe railroad 

operations. Due to an increasingly 

dynamic and maturing workforce, 

combined with continual changes in 

knowledge and skills required to use 

new technologies, there is an increasing 

risk of not having the necessary talent 

pools to fill critical railroad operational 

positions. FRA uses this information 

collection to survey a select group of 

railroad industry personnel to gain 

insight into the current workforce 

development strategies. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change (with changes in estimates) of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Class I freight and 

passenger railroads, short line and 

regional railroads, labor unions, railroad 

associations, academia, and specialty 

experts. 

Form(s): FRA F240. 

Respondent Universe: 818.1

Frequency of Submission: One-time. 

Total Estimated Annual Responses: 

258. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 107 

hours. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour 

Dollar Cost Equivalent: $4,924. 

FRA informs all interested parties that 

it may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information that does 

not display a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
