DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2010–0003] 

Establishment of an Emergency Relief 

Docket for Calendar Year 2010 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of establishment of 

public docket. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

establishment of FRA’s emergency relief 

docket (ERD) for calendar year 2010. 

The designated ERD for calendar year 

2010 is docket number FRA–2010–0003. 

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section for further 

information regarding submitting 

petitions and/or comments to Docket 

No. FRA–2010–0003. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

19, 2009, FRA published a direct final 

rule addressing the establishment of 

ERDs and the procedures for handling 

petitions for emergency waivers of 

safety rules, regulations, or standards 

during an emergency situation or event. 

74 FR 23329. That direct final rule 

became effective on July 20, 2009 and 

made minor modifications to § 211.45 to 

the FRA’s Rules of Practice published at 

49 CFR part 211. Paragraph (b) of 

§ 211.45 provides that each calendar 

year FRA will establish an ERD in the 

publicly accessible DOT docket system 

(available on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov). Paragraph (b) of 

§ 211.45 further provides that FRA will 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

identifying by docket number the ERD 

for that year. As noted in the rule, FRA’s 

purpose for establishing the ERD and 

emergency waiver procedures is to 

provide an expedited process for FRA to 

address the needs of the public and the 

railroad industry during emergency 

situations or events. This Notice 

announces that the designated ERD for 

calendar year 2010 is docket number 

FRA–2010–0003. 

As detailed § 211.45, if the FRA 

Administrator determines that an 

emergency event as defined in 49 CFR 

211.45(a) has occurred, or that an 

imminent threat of such an emergency 

occurring exists, and public safety 

would benefit from providing the 

railroad industry with operational relief, 

the emergency waiver procedures of 49 

CFR 211.45 will go into effect. In such 

an event, the FRA Administrator will 

issue a statement in the ERD indicating 

that the emergency waiver procedures 

are in effect and FRA will make every 

effort to post the statement on its Web 

site http://www.fra.dot.gov/. Any party 

desiring relief from FRA regulatory 

requirements as a result of the 

emergency situation should submit a 

petition for emergency waiver in 

accordance with 49 CFR 211.45(e) and 

(f). Specific instructions for filing 

petitions for emergency waivers in 

accordance with 49 CFR 211.45 are 

found at 49 CFR 211.45(f). Specific 

instructions for filing comments in 

response to petitions for emergency 

waivers are found at 49 CFR 211.45(h). 

Privacy 

Anyone is able to search all comments 

received into any of our dockets by the 

name of the individual submitting the 

comment (or signing the comment, if 

submitted on behalf of an association, 

business, labor union, etc.). You may 

review DOT’s complete Privacy Act 

Statement in the Federal Register 

published on April 11, 2000 (Volume 

665, Number 7, Pages 19477–78). The 

statement may also be found at http://
