DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Notice of Petition for Approval 

In accordance with Title 49 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

§ 236.913(e)(1), notice is hereby given 

that the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) has received a 

petition for approval of a revised 

version of an approved Product Safety 

Plan (PSP) submitted pursuant to 49 

CFR Part 236, subpart H. The individual 

petition is described below, including 

the party seeking approval, the requisite 

docket number and a brief summary of 

the petition. 

BNSF Railway Company 

Docket Number FRA–2006–23687 

The BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) 

submitted a petition for approval of a 

revised version (version 3.0) of their 

already approved PSP for the Electronic 

Train Management System (ETMS). 

BNSF asserts that the revised PSP 

demonstrates that ETMS has been 

designed to incrementally scale out 

functionality and applicability to 

different railroad territory type 

configurations. Consequently, ETMS 

and the PSP has evolved over time as 

new functionality was added to the 

system and tested on different 

operational scenarios that exist on the 

BNSF rail network. BNSF also believes 

the revised PSP supports the 

requirements as described in 49 CFR 

Part 236, subpart H regarding the 

‘‘Standards for Development and Use of 

Processor-Based Signal and Train 

Control Systems’’ to receive approval for 

implementation of the ETMS II, ETMS 

IV and ETMS VI configuration types. 

The revised PSP provides descriptions 

of: The ETMS itself, ETMS safety 

process and analyses, validation and 

verification processes used during 

development of ETMS, and operational 

and support requirements and 

procedures. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this safety review by 

providing written information or 

comments pertinent to FRA’s 

consideration of the above petition for 

approval of a revised PSP. All

approval should identify the
