BILLING CODE 4910–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2009–0074] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

provides the public notice that on July 

28, 2017, the Canadian National 

Railway Company (CN), the 

Transportation Division of the 

International Association of Sheet 

Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation 

Workers (TD–SMART) and the 

Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers 

and Trainmen (BLET) collectively 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for an extension 

of CN’s existing waiver of compliance 

from certain provisions of the hours of 

service laws contained at Title 49 

United States Code (U.S.C.) section 

21103(a)(4). FRA assigned the petition 

Docket Number FRA–2009–0074. 

CN requested an extension of its 

existing waiver from the provisions of 

49 U.S.C. 21103(a), which prohibits a 

train employee from remaining or going 

on duty after that employee has initiated 

an on-duty period each day for six 

consecutive days, unless that employee 

has had at least 48 consecutive hours off 

duty at the employee’s home terminal. 

Specifically, CN, on behalf of its 

railroad operating subsidiaries based in 

the United States, and its unions, seeks 

a waiver to allow train employees to 

initiate an on-duty period each day for 

6 consecutive days followed by 24 hours 

off duty. In support of the request, CN, 

BLET, and SMART explained that CN 

has operated these schedules of 6 

consecutive on-duty periods followed 

by 24 hours off duty successfully since 

2002. CN, BLET, and SMART indicate 

that these schedules have not had an 

adverse impact on safety. 

CN also provided an analysis of the 

most current 12-month period of trainemployee on-duty human factor-related 

accidents and injuries. CN indicates that 

its analyses revealed that of the 13 

human factor-related accidents 

involving CN employees in the 

preceding 12 months, none involved 

employees covered under the waiver 

working 6 consecutive days followed by 

24 hours off duty.

BILLING CODE 4910–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2003–15196] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

provides the public notice that on 

September 27, 2017, New Jersey Transit 

(NJT) petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for an extension 

of a waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of the Federal railroad safety 

regulations contained at 49 CFR part 

213, Track Safety Standards. The docket 

number associated with this petition is 

FRA–2003–15196. 

NJT seeks an extension of its existing 

waiver from 49 CFR 213.233(c), relating 

to the frequency of the required visual 

track inspections for FRA Class 3 and 4 

track carrying passenger traffic. FRA 

issued the initial waiver that granted 

NJT relief on August 25, 1999 (FRA 

Docket No. RST–97–5), and FRA 

extended the waiver on April 28, 2003, 

May 1, 2008, and December 17, 2012 for 

three 5-year periods. 

NJT requests an extension of its 

waiver for reduced frequency of 

required visual track inspections 

specifically for those tracks constructed 

with continuous welded rail. NJT 

proposes to conduct one visual track 

inspection per week, instead of the two 

inspections per week that are required 

in 49 CFR part 213, and to supplement 

its visual inspections with the operation 

of an automated track geometry 

measuring vehicle over the affected 

main tracks and sidings four times per 

year.
