BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2017–0129] 

Notice of Application for Approval To 

Discontinue or Modify a Railroad 

Signal System 

Under part 235 of Title 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49 

U.S.C. 20502(a), this provides the public 

notice that on December 19, 2017, 

National Railroad Passenger Corporation 

(Amtrak) petitioned the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking 

approval to discontinue or modify a 

signal system. FRA assigned the petition 

Docket Number FRA–2017–0129. 

Applicant: National Railroad 

Passenger Corporation, Mr. Nicholas J. 

Croce III, PE, Deputy Chief Engineer 

C&S, Acting, 2995 Market Street, 

Philadelphia, PA 19104. 

Amtrak is installing new clear block 

signals at Oak and Bush interlockings to 

establish NORAC Rule 562 territory, cab 

signals without fixed automatic block 

signals. As a result, Amtrak seeks to 

retire the fixed wayside signals numbers 

651, 652, 672, 673, 695, and 696 on 

Tracks 2, 3, and 4 on Amtrak’s 

Northeast Corridor, Mid-Atlantic 

Division, Main Line, Philadelphia to 

Washington. 

All NORAC Rules will remain in 

effect. The existing advanced civil speed 

enforcement system (ACSES) will be 

modified to enforce a positive stop at 

Oak and Bush interlockings for a train 

with failed cab signal equipment unless 

the ‘‘C’’ signal is displayed allowing the 

failed train to enter the block. 

The reason for removal of the signals 

is to eliminate maintenance and 

operation of unnecessary hardware no 

longer needed, and to reduce delays to 

trains caused by failures of the signals. 

The signals are not required in NORAC 

Rule 562 territory. 

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 Avenue SE, W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590. The Docket 

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal Holidays. 

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
