BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2017–0109] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

provides the public notice that October 

2, 2017, the Port Authority TransHudson Corporation (PATH) petitioned 

the Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA) for a waiver of compliance from 

certain provisions of the Federal 

railroad safety regulations contained at 

49 CFR P§ 238.123. FRA assigned the 

petition docket number FRA–2017– 

0109. 

PATH is requesting relief from the 

requirements of 49 CFR 238.123, 

Emergency roof access, which requires 

passenger cars ordered on or after April 

1, 2009, or placed in service for the first 

time on or after April 1, 2011, to have 

two emergency roof access locations. 

Alternatively, PATH requests approval 

to install a single emergency roof access 

location on any new passenger car 

ordered from this date forward. PATH 

states that the basis of this petition is 

the unique nature of the PATH PA–5 

vehicles and operation relative to 

typical railroad operations under FRA 

jurisdiction. The railcars used by PATH 

are more typical for urban rapid transit 

operations, and differ from other 

passenger rail equipment in dimension 

and design, such that it is not 

practicable to have two emergency roof 

access locations. PATH asserts that the 

emergency access windows and other 

exits that are available on its equipment 

provide a high level of safety that is 

appropriate to its operations. 

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 

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 parties desire 

an opportunity for oral comment and a 

public hearing, 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 and may be 

submitted by any of the following 

methods: 

• Web site: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments.
