BILLING CODE 4910–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2017–0100] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides 

the public notice that by an undated 

letter received on June 9, 2017, Arizona 

Eastern Railway (AZER) 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 

232, Brake System Safety Standards for 

Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains 

and Equipment; End-of-Train Devices. 

FRA assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2017–0100. 

In its petition, AZER requests a 

waiver of compliance from the 

requirement of 49 CFR 232.215, 

Transfer train brake tests, at its Clifton 

Yard in Clifton, AZ. AZER currently 

conducts a transfer train air brake test 

after doubling outbound rail cars 

together at the Clifton Yard. Due to an 

increase in AZER’s traffic in Clifton, 

train size has increased from 25 to 40 

cars, resulting in the blocking of 

multiple public grade crossings for an 

extended period of time while 

conducting air brake tests. AZER 

proposes to perform a Class III air brake 

test per 49 CFR 232.211 on rail cars 

doubled in Clifton and operate six miles 

to the AZER yard at South Siding, 

where the train will be profiled and 

receive a Class I air brake test under 49 

CFR 232.205. AZER states its proposal 

would relieve vehicle congestion on 

Coronado Blvd. in Clifton, which would 

allow for better emergency access. 

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 

New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590. The Docket 

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal Holidays. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by

public hearing, they should notify FRA, 

in writing, before the end of the 

comment period and specify the basis
