[Docket No. FRA–1999–6404]

Extension of Comment Period; Petition

for Grandfathering of Non-Compliant

Equipment; National Railroad

Passenger Corporation

On October 18, 1999, the National

Railroad Passenger Corporation

(Amtrak) petitioned the Federal

Railroad Administration (FRA) for

grandfathering of non-compliant

passenger equipment manufactured by

Renfe Talgo of America (Talgo) for use

on rail lines between Vancouver, British

Columbia and Eugene, Oregon; between

Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles,

California; and between San Diego,

California and San Luis Obispo,

California. Notice of receipt of such

petition was published in the Federal

Register on November 2, 1999, at 64 FR

59230. Interested parties were invited to

comment on the petition before the end

of the comment period of December 2,

1999.

Through published notice in the

Federal Register, FRA has extended the

comment period in this proceeding and

explained the reasons therefor. FRA

most recently extended the comment

period until January 31, 2000. See 65 FR

2223; Jan. 13, 2000. By this notice, FRA

is further extending the comment period

until February 22, 2000. This extension

will allow FRA to resolve an ongoing

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

request for information related to this

proceeding, see 65 FR 2223, and permit

the requester sufficient time in which to

analyze any further documents that may

be released by FRA. FRA will place in

the docket a copy of any documents

provided to the FOIA requester. FRA

expects that further extensions of the

comment period will not be necessary.

Comments received after February 22,

2000, will be considered to the extent

possible. Amtrak’s petition, documents

inserted in the docket, and all written

communications concerning this

proceeding are available for

examination during regular business

hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) at DOT

0001. All documents in the public

docket are also available for inspection

docket facility’s Web site at http://
