DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2006–24774] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on April 25, 2017, the Minnesota 

Transportation Museum (MTM) 

requested renewal of a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

49 CFR part 232, Brake System Safety 

Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment. 

Specifically, MTM requests relief 

from part 232, Appendix B, 

§ 232.17(b)(2) for passenger car 

maintenance requirements. MTM is a 

non-profit corporation that operates 

historic and educational excursion 

trains as the Osceola and St. Croix 

Valley Railway between Dresser, 

Wisconsin and Withrow, Minnesota, a 

distance of 25 miles, over Canadian 

National track. Operation of this train is 

from mid-April to the end of October 

primarily on weekends with occasional 

mid-week special event trains for 

approximately 70 operating days. MTM 

currently operates six coaches equipped 

with either LN, UC or D–22 type brakes 

that require a clean, oil, test, and stencil 

(COT&S) servicing, as prescribed in the 

Manual of Standards and Recommended 

Practices of the Association of American 

Railroads, S–4045, Passenger Equipment 

Maintenance Requirements, last 

published in 2013. 

MTM requests a renewal of relief for 

the COT&S intervals for the coaches 

with the UC and LN type brake valves. 

MTM asserts that it has been performing 

the COT&S servicing at 24-month 

intervals instead of the 15-month 

intervals prescribed in part 232,

BILLING CODE 4910–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2016–0116] 

Notice of Application for Approval To 

Discontinue or Modify a Railroad 

Signal System 

Under part 235 of Title 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49 

U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides 

the public notice that on July 21, 2017, 

CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) requesting 

reconsideration of a prior FRA decision 

granting conditional relief from certain 

provisions of 49 CFR part 236. FRA 

assigned the petition Docket Number 

FRA–2016–0116. 

In a May 30, 2017 decision, the FRA’s 

Railroad Safety Board (Board) 

conditionally approved CSXT’s petition 

for a waiver of compliance from 49 CFR 

236.60, Switch Shunting Circuit; Use 

Restricted. The Board stated in its 

decision the single condition of this 

relief was that it did not apply in 

Positive Train Control (PTC) territory or 

on tracks leading to PTC territory. CSXT 

states the May 30th decision did not 

provide an explanation why this 

condition was included. 

As CSXT explains in its request for 

reconsideration, under the requirements 

of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 

2008 (Pub. L. 110–432, Oct. 16, 2008), 

and the Positive Train Control 

Enforcement and Implementation Act of 

2015 (Pub. L. 114–73, 129 Stat. 576, 582, 

Oct. 29, 2015), all required PTC 

hardware must be installed on or before 

December 31, 2018. CSXT has 

determined that, to date, there are 

approximately 250 switches utilizing 

shunt only protection on subdivisions 

where PTC has been installed or must 

be installed by December 31, 2018. 

CSXT states that excluding all PTC 

territory and tracks leading to PTC 

territory from the waiver would require 

it to modify these 250 switches by 

adding track circuit breaks to each 

location on or before December 31, 

2018. CSXT asserts that while it remains 

on track to meet its PTC hardware 

installation requirement, also requiring 

these shunt-only protected switches to 

be modified puts CSXT’s ability to meet 

this deadline into serious jeopardy, 

because it would add a significant 

amount of unplanned work to 

Engineering Department employees. 

As an alternative to this requirement 

to modify shunt only protected switches 

in PTC territory, CSXT requests that the 

Board modify the waiver to allow CSXT 

to grandfather the current 250 shuntonly protected switches located in PTC 

territory or on tracks leading to PTC 

territory into this waiver. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulatons.gov and in person at the 

U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New 

Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140,

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
