FRA assigned the petition 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 toallow 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.

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 Ave. SE., W12–140, Washington, DC 20590.

**[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.
