Privacy Act 

DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its regulatory 

processes, in accordance with statute 49 

U.S.C. 31315(b)(6)(A). DOT posts these 

comments, without edit, including any 

personal information the commenter 

provides, to www.regulations.gov, as 

described in the system of records 

notice (DOT/ALL 14—Federal Docket 

Management System), which can be 

reviewed at www.transportation.gov/ 

privacy. 

II. Legal Basis 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b) to grant exemptions from 

certain parts of the Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). 

FMCSA must publish a notice of each 

exemption request in the Federal 

Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The 

Agency must provide the public an 

opportunity to inspect the information 

relevant to the application, including 

any safety analyses that have been 

conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. The Agency 

reviews the safety analyses and the 

public comments and determines 

whether granting the exemption would 

likely achieve a level of safety 

equivalent to or greater than the level 

that would be achieved by the current 

regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The 

decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)). If the Agency denies 

the request, it must state the reason for 

doing so. If the decision is to grant the 

exemption, the notice must specify the 

person or class of persons receiving the 

exemption and the regulatory provision 

or provisions from which an exemption 

is granted. The notice must specify the 

effective period of the exemption (up to 

5 years) and explain the terms and 

conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.315(c) and 49 CFR 381.300(b)). 

EROAD’s Application for Exemption 

The FMCSRs require devices meeting 

the definition of ‘‘vehicle safety 

technology’’ to be mounted (1) not more 

than 4 inches below the upper edge of 

the area swept by the windshield 

wipers, or (2) not more than 7 inches 

above the lower edge of the area swept 

by the windshield wipers, and outside 

the driver’s sight lines to the road and 

highway signs and signals. EROAD has 

applied for an exemption from 49 CFR 

393.60(e)(1) to allow its Dashcam 

system, which is equipped with 

camera(s) and safety technologies, to be 

mounted lower in the windshield than 

is currently permitted. A copy of the 

exemption application is included in 

the docket referenced at the beginning 

of this notice. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

EROAD’s application for an exemption. 

All comments received before the close 

of business on the comment closing date 

indicated at the beginning of this notice 

will be considered and will be available 

for examination in the docket at the 

location listed under the ADDRESSES

section of this notice. Comments 

received after the comment closing date 

will be filed in the public docket and 

will be considered to the extent 

practicable. In addition to late 

comments, FMCSA will also continue to 

file, in the public docket, relevant 

information that becomes available after 

the comment closing date. Interested 

persons should continue to examine the 

public docket for new material.

BILLING CODE 4910–EX–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2021–0075] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on June 29, 2021, Union Pacific 

Railroad Company (UP) petitioned the 

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 

for a waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of the Federal railroad safety 

regulations contained at 49 CFR 

236.566, Locomotive of each train 

operating in train stop, train control or 

cab signal territory; equipped. FRA 

assigned the petition Docket Number 

FRA–2021–0075. 

UP seeks relief from the requirements 

of 49 CFR 236.566 to operate 

locomotives not equipped with 

automatic train control (ATC) in two 

locations: The Omaha Subdivision 

between control point (CP) B328 and CP 

B349 and the Blair Subdivision between 

CP B328 and mile post (MP) 328.3. UP 

states that trains that pass through these 

locations otherwise operate on non-ATC 

territory, and to comply with § 236.566 

in these two locations, new locomotives 

with the correct signal equipment 

would need to be brought onto trains 

passing through. UP further states that 

this request would not have an adverse 

effect on safety, as the use of wayside 

signals governs movement in the subject 

locations. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov. 

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 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 

proceedings should identify the 

appropriate docket number and may be 

submitted by any of the following 

methods: 

• Website: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Fax: 202–493–2251. 

• Mail: Docket Operations Facility, 

U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT), 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, W12– 

140, Washington, DC 20590. 

Communications received by 

September 9, 2021 will be considered by 

FRA before final action is taken. 

Comments received after that date will 

be considered if practicable. Anyone 

can search the electronic form of any 

written communications and comments 

received into any of our dockets by the 

name of the individual submitting the 

comment (or signing the document, if 

submitted on behalf of an association, 

business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 

U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments 

from the public to better inform its
