[Docket Number FRA-2000-7137]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on April 20, 2021, San Diego 
Trolley Incorporated (SDTI) submitted a second supplemental petition to 
the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for additional relief from 
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained 
at 49 CFR part 238, Passenger Equipment Safety Standards. The relevant 
FRA Docket Number is FRA-2000-7137.
    Specifically, SDTI seeks relief from 49 CFR part 238 in its 
entirety. SDTI states that it currently complies with California Public 
Utilities Commission General Order 164--Rules and Regulations Governing 
State Safety Oversight of Rail Fixed Guideway Systems, which are 
alternative regulations that cover substantially the same scope as 49 
CFR part 238.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov.
    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 party 
desires an opportunity for oral comment, 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

    Communications received by June 11, 2021 will be considered by FRA 
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be 
considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications 
and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the
