of the review. In addition, a 

representative from both the 

Department’s Bureau of Educational and 

Cultural Affairs Grants Office and Youth 

Programs Division will join the review 

teams for those sponsors that place 

secondary school students under the 

terms of grant awards. 

These reviews will not replace the 

redesignation process nor alter the 

requirements that sponsors submit 

applications for redesignation prior to 

the expiration of their current 

designations. Nor will the reviews take 

the place of the annual data reports 

required by regulation. Following the 

reviews, the Department will compile 

and share best practices and lessons 

learned with the exchange community. 

The Department recognizes it may also 

find operations that require the 

imposition of corrective action plans, or 

it may find that some entities no longer 

meet the eligibility requirements 

necessary to retain their designations. 

The Department believes that these 

reviews will provide an opportunity for 

continued growth of the partnership 

between the Department and program 

sponsors necessary and that the reviews 

will further our shared goal of ensuring 

that these young and potentially 

vulnerable exchange program 

participants all return to their countries 

with fond and meaningful memories of 

their successful exchange adventure in 

the United States of America.

Federal Railroad Administration 

Notice of Application for Approval of 

Discontinuance or Modification of a 

Railroad Signal System or Relief From 

the Requirements of Title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations Part 236 

Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Part 235 and 49 

U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) seeking approval 

for the discontinuance or modification 

of the signal system or relief from the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 236, as 

detailed below. 

Grenada Railway, LLC 

[Docket Number FRA–2009–0122] 

The Grenada Railway, LCC (GRYR) 

seeks approval of the proposed 

discontinuance and removal of the 

Automatic Block Signal System (ABS) 

on the entire railroad line between, but 

not including, the point of ownership at 

the Tennessee State Line, milepost (MP) 

403.3 (Canadian National connection) 

to, but not including, the point of 

ownership at MP 703.8, near Davis, 

Mississippi (Canadian National 

connection). A northbound operative 

approach signal will be installed at MP 

404.0 and a southbound operative 

approach signal will be installed at MP 

702.8. 

The reason given for the proposed 

changes is that the ABS is no longer 

needed in the current or foreseeable 

future operations of GRYR. There are 

substantial costs in maintaining the 

ABS. GRYR will operate under Rule 

520, Other Than Main Track. 

Any interested party desiring to 

protest the granting of an application 

shall set forth specifically the grounds 

upon which the protest is made, and 

include a concise statement of the 

interest of the party in the proceeding. 

Additionally, one copy of the protest 

shall be furnished to the applicant at the 

address listed above. 

FRA expects to be able to determine 

these matters without an oral hearing. 

However, if a specific request for an oral 

hearing is accompanied by a showing 

that the party is unable to adequately 

present his or her position by written

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Transit Administration 

[Docket FTA–2010–0003] 

Notice of Establishment of Emergency 

Relief Docket for Calendar Year 2010 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) is establishing an 

Emergency Relief Docket for calendar 

year 2010 so grantees and subgrantees 

affected by national or regional 

emergencies may request relief from 

FTA administrative requirements set 

forth in FTA policy statements, 

circulars, guidance documents, and 

regulations. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Richard L. Wong, Attorney-Advisor, 

Legislation and Regulations Division, 

Office of Chief Counsel, Federal Transit 

Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., 

SE., Room E56–308, Washington, DC 

20590, phone: (202) 366–4011, fax: (202) 

366–3809, or e-mail, 

Richard.Wong@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to Title 49 CFR Part 601, Subpart D, 

FTA is opening the Emergency Relief 

Docket. It may be opened at the request 

of a grantee or subgrantee, or on the 

Administrator’s own initiative. When 

the Emergency Relief Docket is opened, 

FTA will post a notice on its Web site, 

at http://www.fta.dot.gov. In addition, 

the notice will be posted in the docket. 

In the event a grantee or subgrantee 

believes the Emergency Relief Docket 

should be opened and it has not been 

opened, that grantee or subgrantee may 

submit a petition in duplicate to the 

Administrator, via U.S. mail, to: Federal 

Transit Administration, 1200 New 

Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590; 

via telephone, at: (202) 366–1936; or via 

fax, at (202) 366–3472, requesting 

opening of the Docket for that 

emergency and including the 

information set forth below. 

All petitions for relief from 

administrative requirements must be 

posted in the docket in order to receive 

consideration by FTA. The docket is 

publicly accessible and can be accessed 

24 hours a day, seven days a week, via 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Petitions may also 

be submitted by U.S. mail or by hand 

delivery to the DOT Docket 

Management Facility, 1200 New Jersey 

Ave., SE., Room W12–140, Washington, 

DC 20590. Any grantee or subgrantee 

submitting petitions for relief or 

comments to the docket must include 

the agency name (Federal Transit 

Administration) and docket number 

FTA–2010–0003. Grantees and 

subgrantees making submissions to the 

docket by mail or hand delivery should 

submit two copies. 

In the event a grantee or subgrantee 

needs to request immediate relief and 

does not have access to electronic 

means to request that relief, the grantee 

or subgrantee may contact any FTA 

regional office or FTA headquarters and 

request that FTA staff submit the 

petition on its behalf. 

A petition for relief shall: 

(a) Identify the grantee or subgrantee 

and its geographic location; 

(b) Specifically address how an FTA 

requirement in a policy statement, 

circular, or agency guidance will limit a 

grantee’s or subgrantee’s ability to 

respond to an emergency or disaster; 

(c) Identify the policy statement, 

circular, guidance document and/or rule 

from which the grantee or subgrantee 

seeks relief; and 

(d) Specify if the petition for relief is 

one-time or ongoing, and if ongoing 

identify the time period for which the 

relief is requested. The time period may 

not exceed three months; however, 

additional time may be requested 

through a second petition for relief. 

A petition for relief from 

administrative requirements will be 

conditionally granted for a period of 

three (3) business days from the date it 

is submitted to the Emergency Relief 

Docket. FTA will review the petition 

after the expiration of the three business 

days and review any comments 

submitted thereto. FTA may contact the 

grantee or subgrantee that submitted the 

request for relief, or any party that 

submits comments to the docket, to 

obtain more information prior to making 

a decision. FTA shall then post a 

decision to the Emergency Relief 

Docket. FTA’s decision will be based on 

whether the petition meets the criteria 

for use of these emergency procedures, 

the substance of the request, and the 

comments submitted regarding the 

petition. If FTA does not respond to the 

request for relief to the docket within 

three business days, the grantee or 

subgrantee may assume its petition is 

granted for a period not to exceed three 

months until and unless FTA states 

otherwise. 

Pursuant to section 604.2(f) of FTA’s 

charter rule, grantees and subgrantees 

may assist with evacuations or other 

movement of people that might 

otherwise be considered charter 

transportation when that transportation 

is in response to an emergency declared 

by the President, governor, or mayor, or 

in an emergency requiring immediate 

action prior to a formal declaration, 

even if a formal declaration of an 

emergency is not eventually made by 

the President, governor or mayor. 

Therefore, a request for relief is not 

necessary in order to provide this 

service. However, if the emergency lasts 

more than 45 calendar days, the grantee 

or subgrantee shall follow the 

procedures set out in this notice.
