SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 3, 2009, (74 FR 63310) 

PHMSA issued a final rule ‘‘Control 

Room Management/Human Factors’’ 

which became effective on February 1, 

2010. The final rule amended the 

Federal pipeline safety regulations to 

address human factors and other aspects 

of control room management for certain 

pipelines where controllers use 

supervisory control and data acquisition 

(SCADA) systems. Under the final rule, 

pipeline operators must implement 

methods to reduce the risk associated 

with controller fatigue. In addition, 

certain operators must define the roles 

and responsibilities of controllers and 

provide controllers with the necessary 

information, training, and processes to 

fulfill these responsibilities. Affected 

operators must also manage alarms, 

ensure control room considerations are 

taken into account when changing 

pipeline equipment or configurations, 

and review reportable incidents for 

accidents to determine whether control 

room actions contributed to the event. 

The workshop will include 

presentations highlighting several 

topical areas and the sharing of specific 

solutions based on initial feedback 

received from stakeholders. The panel 

format will offer the opportunity for 

dialogue and sharing of ideas to help 

PHMSA generate guidance material.

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) has 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance from 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. 

Austin & Texas Central Railroad 

(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA– 

2010–0149) 

The Austin & Texas Central Railroad 

(ATCX), a Class III railroad, seeks a 

waiver of compliance from the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 223, Safety 

Glazing Standards 49 CFR 223.15 

Requirements for existing passenger 

cars. Specifically, ATCX has petitioned 

for one lightweight passenger car built 

in 1948, for the Denver Rio Grande & 

Western Railway in 1948. ATCX 

operates this car on 154.1 miles of track 

owned by the Capital Metro Transit 

Authority. Since the railroad’s creation 

in 1992, the railroad has operated 

primarily between milepost (MP) 54.5 at 

Milby in Austin, Texas, and MP 115.0 

at Burnet, Texas. Since before 1992, 

there have been no acts of vandalism 

involving any glazing location 

associated with the operation of a train. 

The railroad operates five other cars that 

operate under a previous waiver (Docket 

Number FRA–2008–0066). The 

maximum authorized speed for this 

train is 20 mph. 

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 party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request.

proceedings should identify the

Communications received within 45 

days of the date of this notice will be
