Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document 
dated August 18, 2015, the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) has 
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 236, subpart I. FRA assigned the 
petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0057.
    CN requests relief from the requirement to implement Positive Train 
Control (PTC) system(s) pursuant to CFR part 236 on the portion of the 
Sprague Subdivision (Prairie Sub-Region from Milepost 0.0 to 
Milepost144.9) located within the United States. The Canadian portion 
is not subject to PTC implementation.
