SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

proposed CTAP changes could affect

flights to and from airports within the

Chicago region, including Chicago

O’Hare International Airport, Chicago

Midway Airport, Milwaukee Mitchell

International Airport, and general

aviation reliever airports. Components

of the proposal include:

• Establish a new high altitude

O’Hare arrival route from the southwest,

separated laterally and vertically from

the existing route

• Modification of the existing high

altitude routes at the southeast and

northwest arrival cornerposts, separated

laterally and vertically from the existing

route

• Establishment of a new high

altitude route to the northeast, separated

vertically from the existing route

• Implementation of more efficient

use of existing routes for O’Hare and

Midway departures to the north, south,

east, and west

• Establishment of a new high

altitude route to Midway for aircraft

from the northwest and northeast

• Establishment of a new high

altitude arrival route for aircraft

destined to Milwaukee from the south

• Transfer of portions of airspace

from Chicago Center to Chicago

Terminal Radar Approach Control

(TRACON) and from Chicago TRACON

to Rockford TRACON

The project is not associated with any

airport development projects or

construction of any physical facilities.

The changes proposed by CTAP are

designed to improve traffic flows and

reduce airborne and ground delays.

They would enhance safety and

efficiency by maximizing controller

flexibility and simplifying operations

for pilots. CTAP has the potential to

enhance air quality by reducing en route

mileage. As disclosed in the DEIS,

CTAP would not result in significant

adverse impacts to any resource

category.

Federal Railroad Administration

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) received

a request for a waiver of compliance

with 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.

Canadian National Illinois Central

Railroad

[Docket Number FRA–2000–8089]

Canadian National Illinois Central

Railroad (CN/IC) seeks a permanent

waiver of compliance from certain

provisions of the Railroad Safety

Appliance Standards, 49 CFR Part 231,

and the Railroad Power Brakes and

Drawbars regulations, 49 CFR Part 232,

concerning RoadRailer’’ train

operations over their system.

Specifically, CN/IC requests relief from

those sections of 49 CFR Part 231 which

stipulates the number, location and

dimensions for handholds, ladders, sill

steps, uncoupling levers and

handbrakes. CN/IC also seeks relief from

49 CFR Part 232.2 which sets the

standard height for drawbars.

CN/IC states that this waiver is

necessary to permit them to begin

operation of RoadRailer equipment

between Chicago, Illinois, and Port

Huron, Michigan. CN/IC requests that

this petition, if approved, be modeled

on conditions contained in waiver FRA–
