DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

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) received 

a request for a waiver of compliance 

with 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 from the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 236, as 

detailed below. 

Docket Number FRA–2009–0030 

Applicant: CSX Transportation, Mr. 

C.M. King, Chief Engineer, 

Communications and Signals, 500 

Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202. 

The CSX Transportation (CSXT) 

would like to respectfully request a 

waiver to the portion of 49 CFR 236.303 

requiring portable derails to be 

connected to the signal system. Due to 

the current economic downturn, CSXT 

has found it necessary to use main, 

siding, and auxiliary tracks to facilitate 

the storing of cars. Cars and equipment 

are being stored in accordance with 49 

CFR 232.103. The railroad also feels that 

the placing of portable derails on these 

tracks will increase the security of these 

cars that are being stored for an 

undetermined length of time. 

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. 

All communications concerning these 

proceedings should identify the

Petition Docket Number 2009–0030) and

Communications received within 45 

days of the date of this notice will be
