Notice of Order Adjusting the Standard

Foreign Fare Level Index

Section 41509(e) of Title 49 of the

United States Code requires that the

Department, as successor to the Civil

Aeronautics Board, establish a Standard

Foreign Fare Level (SFFL) by adjusting

the SFFL base periodically by

percentage changes in actual operating

costs per available seat-mile (ASM).

Order 80–2–69 established the first

interim SFFL, and Order 95–10–9

established the currently effective twomonth SFFL applicable through

November 30, 1995.

In establishing the SFFL for the twomonth period beginning December 1,

1995, we have projected non-fuel costs

based on the year ended September 30,

1995 data, and have determined fuel

prices on the basis of the latest available

experienced monthly fuel cost levels as

reported to the Department.

By Order 95–12–23 fares may be

increased by the following adjustment

factors over the October 1979 level:

Office of the Secretary

Notice That the Department Will No

Longer Issue Formal SFRL Update

Orders, in Light of the Recently Issued

Final Rule Exempting Carriers From

Their Statutory Duty To File

International Air Cargo Tariffs. We Are

Publishing This Notice in Its Entirety

as an Appendix to This Document

DATED: Issued in Washington, DC

NOTICE: Issuing of Formal SFRL Update

Orders Discontinued.

The Department issued a final rule,

November 30, 1995, exempting all U.S. and

foreign air carriers from their statutory duty

to file international air cargo tariffs, subject

to the reimposition of the duty in specific

cases when consistent with the public

interest (60 FR 61472).

In light of this development, the

Department will no longer be issuing

periodic formal orders updating the Standard

Foreign Rate Level (SFRL) for each

geographic area (Atlantic, Latin America and

Pacific). However, as stated in our October

24, 1994, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the

Department will continue to recalculate the

SFRL cost indices. This will continue to

establish benchmark levels that would be

considered reasonable, and that could be

used to resolve any complaints against rates

in any rate categories covered by the SFRL.

These SFRL cost indices will be available

from the Department upon request. Persons

who desire this information may telephone

the Department at 202–366–2435 or write to

the Department at the following address:

U.S. Department of Transportation; Office

of the Secretary; Office of International

Aviation, X–43; 400 7th Street S.W.;

This notice shall be published in the

Federal Register and shall be served on all

certificated air carriers and all foreign air

carriers.

BILLING CODE 4910–62–P

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for a Waiver of Compliance

In accordance with 49 CFR Sections

211.9 and 211.41, notice is hereby given

that the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) has received a

request for a waiver of compliance with

certain requirements of Federal railroad

safety regulations. The individual

petitions are 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.

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 No. HS–95–1) and must

be submitted in triplicate to the Docket

Clerk, Office of Chief Counsel, Federal

Railroad Administration, Nassif

Building, 400 Seventh Street, S.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20590.

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

available for examination during regular

business hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m.) in Room

8201, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh

Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590.

The waiver petitions are as follows:

Mississippi Central Railroad Company

(MSCI)

FRA Waiver Petition Docket No. HS–95–

3

The MSCI seeks a continuation of a

previously issued exemption so it may

permit certain employees to remain on

duty not more than 16 hours in any 24-

hour period. The MSCI states that it is

not its intention to employ a train crew

over 12 hours per day under normal

circumstances, but this exemption, if

granted, would help its operation if

unusual operating conditions are

encountered.

The MSCI railroad operates 55.5 miles

of excepted track from Grand Junction,

Tennessee to Oxford, Mississippi. Train

movements are authorized by Yard

Limit rule and Timetable instructions.

The maximum authorized operating

speed is 10 mph.

The MSCI connects with the

Burlington Northern at Holly Springs,

Mississippi and the Norfolk Southern at

Grand Junction, Tennessee. There are no

operating rights arrangements on any

carrier. Norfolk Southern has 1.8 miles

of track rights at Grand Junction,

Tennessee. The MSCI does not operate

trains on the segment of track. The

Norfolk Southern maintains the 1.8

miles of track.

The petitioner asserts it employs not

more than 15 employees and has

demonstrated good cause for granting

this exemption.

The Puget Sound Railway Historical

Association (PSHX)

FRA Waiver Petition Docket No. HS–95–

5

The Puget Sound Railway Historical

Association (PSHX) requests a waiver

from the requirements of Title 49 Code

of Federal Regulations Part 228.11(a)(4),

which requires the number of

consecutive hours off duty prior to

going on-duty for hours of service

purposes. The PSHX operates 3 miles of

former Northern Pacific branch line

between North Bend, and Snoqualmie,

Washington, as the Puget Sound

Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.

Port Utilities Commission of South

Carolina (PUCC)

FRA Waiver Petition Docket No. HS–95–

6

The PUCC seeks a continuation of a

previously issued exemption so it may

permit certain employees to remain on

duty not more than 16 hours in any 24-

hour period. The PUCC states that it is

not its intention to employ a train crew

over 12 hours per day under normal

circumstances, but this exemption, if

granted, would help its operation if

unusual operating conditions are

encountered. The PUCC is a Terminal

Switching Railroad operating within the

County of Charleston, South Carolina

over a 1.5 miles of trackage at North

Charleston, South Carolina. The

petitioner indicates that granting the

exemption is in the public interest and

will not adversely affect safety.
