BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2015–0021] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR), this document provides the 

public notice that by a document dated 

November 20, 2014, the Transportation 

Technology Center (TTCI) has 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR 231.136(c)(4) and 

231.126(c)(4). FRA assigned the petition 

Docket Number FRA–2015–0021. 

Industry efforts are underway to 

develop industry standards for natural 

gas fuel tenders (NGFT) as fuel sources 

for locomotives. FRA has provided 

funding for a program to complement 

work conducted by the Association of 

American Railroads (AAR) NGFT 

Technical Advisory Group (TAG) in 

developing industry standards for NGFT 

tenders. This effort is focused on 

documenting (measuring and analyzing) 

the worst-case displacement 

environment between a common linehaul locomotive and a trailing vehicle 

(simulating a fuel tender). 

This petition for a temporary waiver 

has been filed so that a test project can 

be conducted to measure and an 

understanding can be had of the tri-axial 

displacement environment of 

interconnections (e.g., gas, cooling 

system loop, electrical, air, etc.) between 

the locomotive and adjacent tender 

vehicle during normal full-scale freight 

train operations in revenue service. This 

waiver also serves to give notice that the 

instrumentation brackets will be 

mounted to and partially obstruct the 

safety appliances on the locomotive and 

box car. The safety appliances affected 

will be the A-end end platform and the 

A-end handhold on the box car, and, in 

addition, a test fixture bracket will be 

attached to the uprights that secure 

horizontal handholds on the rear end of 

the locomotive. The test program 

outlined in the petition includes 

measurement of relative longitudinal, 

lateral, and vertical displacements and 

accelerations between the locomotive 

and simulated fuel tender. Data gathered 

will provide input for testing future fuel 

transfer components (e.g., hoses, wires, 

and connectors for gas/heat exchange 

fluids/electrical power/control) planned 

for use on the next generation of NGFT 

vehicles. 

Canadian National Railway (CN) is 

supplying the locomotive and high-cube 

box car for this testing. The locomotive’s 

long hood end will be connected to and 

leading the box car’s A-end. The intent 

is for both to be used throughout the 

testing from Chicago, IL, to Memphis, 

TN, and back. The requested duration of 

the waiver is to allow the testing from 

Chicago, IL, to Memphis, TN, and back 

to be completed. A copy of the petition, 

as well as any written communications 

concerning the petition, is available for 

review online at www.regulations.gov 

and in person at the U.S. Department of 

Transportation’s (DOT) Docket 

Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
