DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2004–20000] 

Petition for Extension of Waiver of 

Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that by letter dated July 26, 2024, Dallas 

Area Rapid Transit (DART) petitioned 

the Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA) for an extension of a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR parts 229 (Railroad 

Locomotive Safety Standards) and 234 

(Grade Crossing Safety). The relevant 

Docket Number is FRA–2004–20000. 

Specifically, DART seeks an extension 

of relief, subject to the terms and 

conditions of its current waiver of 

compliance from the provisions of 49 

CFR 229.125, Headlights and auxiliary 

lights, and 49 CFR 234.105, Activation 

failure. This relief was initially granted 

in 2005 and extended in 2010, 2015, 

and 2020, to allow operation of DART’s 

rail-fixed guideway public transit lines 

that share limited connections with the 

general railroad system, specifically 

with the Dallas Garland and 

Northeastern Railroad. DART 

additionally supplied the event history 

at its highway-rail crossings from 

January 2019 to August 2024.1 DART 

stated that it ‘‘continues to be subject to 

the Texas State Safety Oversight 

Program Plan.’’ 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov.

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested parties desire
