Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2024–0089] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on August 5, 2024, the Association 

of American Railroads (AAR) petitioned 

the Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA) for a waiver of compliance from 

certain provisions of the Federal 

railroad safety regulations contained at 

49 CFR part 245 (Qualification and 

Certification of Dispatchers). FRA 

assigned the petition Docket Number 

FRA–2024–0089. 

Specifically, AAR, on behalf of its 

members, requests relief required to 

participate in FRA’s Confidential Close 

Call Reporting System (C3RS) Program. 

AAR seeks to shield its member 

railroads’ reporting employees from 

mandatory punitive sanctions that 

would otherwise arise as provided in 

§§ 245.303(a), (b), (c), (d), (e)(1)–(6), (g), 

(h), and 245.307. The C3RS Program 

would encourage certified dispatchers 

to report close calls and protect the 

employees and the member railroads 

from discipline or sanctions arising 

from the incidents reported per the 

C3RS Implementing Memorandum of 

Understanding. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested parties desire 

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. 

All communications concerning these 

proceedings should identify the 

appropriate docket number and may be 

submitted at www.regulations.gov. 

Follow the online instructions for 

submitting comments. 

Communications received by 

December 2, 2024 will be considered by 

FRA before final action is taken. 

Comments received after that date will 

be considered if practicable. 

Anyone can search the electronic 

form of any written communications 

and comments received into any of our 

dockets by the name of the individual 

submitting the comment (or signing the 

document, if submitted on behalf of an 

association, business, labor union, etc.). 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits 

comments from the public to better 

inform its processes. DOT posts these 

comments, without edit, including any 

personal information the commenter 

provides, to www.regulations.gov, as

notice (DOT/ALL–14 FDMS), which can
