SUMMARY: This notice announces actions 

taken by the FHWA, USACE, and other 

Federal agencies that are final within 

the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The 

actions relate to a proposed highway 

project to widen State Route 99 from the 

existing four-lane facility to six lanes 

from the Austin Road interchange in the 

City of Manteca (post mile 4.9) to the 

Arch Road interchange in the City of 

Stockton (post mile 15.0), in San 

Joaquin County, State of California. 

Those actions grant licenses, permits, 

and approvals for the project. 

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is 

advising the public of final agency 

actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A 

claim seeking judicial review of the 

Federal agency actions on the highway

is filed on or before November 10, 2010. 

If the Federal law that authorizes 

judicial review of a claim provides a 

time period of less than 180 days for

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) 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. 

United Railroad Historical Society of 

New Jersey 

[Docket Number FRA–2010–0079] 

The United Railroad Historical 

Society of New Jersey (URHS) of 

Jackson, New Jersey, has petitioned for 

a permanent waiver of compliance for 

six passenger cars from the 

requirements of the Railroad Safety 

Glazing Standards, Title 49 CFR Part 

223, which require certified glazing in 

all windows. The identifying mark, type 

of car, year built, number of windows 

and the estimated replacement glazing 

cost for each car are as follows: 

• New York Central ‘‘Hickory Creek,’’ 

Observation/Lounge/Sleeper, 1948, 28, 

$35,000. 

• New York Central No. 43, Tavern/ 

Lounge, 1947, 25, $30,000. 

• New York Central No. 37, Tavern/ 

Lounge, 1947, 25, $30,000. 

• Pennsylvania Railroad 1547, 

Coach/Lounge, 1949, 25, $28,000. 

• URHS 326, Coach, 1950, 26, 

$30,000. 

• URHS 329, Coach, 1953, 33, 

$33,000. 

URHS has collected this historic 

equipment so as to operate it in 

conjunction with a future New Jersey 

Transportation Heritage Center. Part of 

this effort includes operating these cars 

on various short line railroads. For 

example, the New York Central 

‘‘Hickory Creek’’ and the New York 

Central No. 43 periodically (10 trips/ 

year) operate from New York, to various 

other destinations in the country. The 

other four cars: The New York Central 

No. 37, Pennsylvania Railroad 1547, 

URHS 326 and URHS 329 are operated 

on the Cape May Seashore Lines 

between Richland and Tuckahoe (15 

miles); and between Cape May Court 

House and Cape May, New Jersey (13 

miles), with a maximum speed of 30 

mph. These cars were restored over the 

past 10 years, and all are equipped with 

laminated safety plate glazing. 

URHS states that they are a non-profit 

501(c)(3) organization and have little 

income so that it would be prohibitive 

for them to re-equip these cars with the 

FRA certified glazing per provisions of 

49 CFR 223.15 Requirements for existing 

passenger cars. They are therefore 

seeking a waiver of compliance from 

provisions that require certified glazing 

for the passenger cars listed above, and 

presently located in Tuckahoe and 

Lebanon, New Jersey. 

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 

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver 

Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0079) and may be submitted by any of 

the following methods: 

• Web site: http://

Communications received within 45 

days of the date of this notice will be 

considered by FRA before final action is 

taken. Comments received after that 

date will be considered as far as 

practicable. All written communications 

concerning these proceedings are
