BILLING CODE 4910–RY–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2016–0003] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with part 211 of title 49 

of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR), this document provides the 

public notice that by a document dated 

September 22, 2015, Amtrak has 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR part 238— 

Passenger Equipment Safety Standards. 

FRA assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2016–0003. 

Amtrak seeks a temporary waiver of 

compliance from the requirements of 49 

CFR 238.125—Marking and instructions 

for emergency egress and rescue access, 

referencing American Public 

Transportation Association (APTA) 

Standard PR–PS–S_002–98, Rev.3, 

‘‘Standard for Emergency Signage for 

Egress/Access of Passenger Rail 

Equipment;’’ and 49 CFR 238.127—Lowlocation emergency exit path marking, 

referencing APTA Standard PR–PS–S– 

004–99, Rev.2 ‘‘Standard for Lowlocation Exit Path Marking’’ for a period 

of 4 years. Amtrak has strived to meet 

the deadline to comply with these 

regulations, but is now seeking this 

temporary relief because the materials 

that its current vendor has been 

installing are not fully compliant. This 

relief will provide Amtrak the proper 

time to produce internally and purchase 

from outside vendors the new compliant 

decals sufficient for over 1,250 rail cars. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov and in person at 

the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200

scheduling a public hearing in

the end of the comment period and
