exempted under this part and equipped 

with the antitheft device on which the 

line’s exemption is based. Further, Part 

543.9(c)(2) provides for the submission 

of petitions ‘‘to modify an exemption to 

permit the use of an antitheft device 

similar to but differing from the one 

specified in that exemption.’’ 

The agency wishes to minimize the 

administrative burden that Part 

543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted 

vehicle manufacturers and itself. The 

agency did not intend in drafting Part 

543 to require the submission of a 

modification petition for every change 

to the components or design of an 

antitheft device. The significance of 

many such changes could be de 

minimis. Therefore, NHTSA suggests 

that if the manufacturer contemplates 

making any changes, the effects of 

which might be characterized as de 

minimis, it should consult the agency 

before preparing and submitting a 

petition to modify.

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. 

Long Island Rail Road 

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0090] 

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) 

seeks a waiver of compliance with the 

Locomotive Safety Standards, 49 CFR 

229.129(b)(2), which requires that the 

sound level of locomotives 

manufactured before September 18, 

2006, have their horns tested before 

June 24, 2010; and 49 CFR 229.129(c), 

which prescribes the testing 

requirements for testing locomotive 

horns. 

LIRR operates 836 M–7 MU passenger 

cars of which 84 have had their horns 

tested; and 170 M–3 MU passenger cars 

of which 60 have had their horns tested. 

In addition, LIRR operates 80 diesel 

electric locomotives of which 7 horns 

have been tested; and 23 control car 

locomotives of which 2 horns have been 

tested. 

LIRR cites the previous winters (2009 

and 2010) climatic conditions for failure 

to complete the required horn testing. 

LIRR is requesting an additional 6- 

month extension to complete the 

testing. Because of the constraints of 

their maintenance facilities, LIRR is also 

requesting that they be allowed to 

utilize an alternate testing standard. 

LIRR would do reference sample testing 

of locomotive horns as required in 49 

CFR 229.129(c), and use the test results 

from the reference tests to develop an 

alternative test plan. 

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 2010–0090) and 

may be submitted by any of the
