Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or 
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    In accordance with Part 235 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice 
that by a document dated July 12, 2013, the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) 
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval 
for the discontinuance or modification of a signal system. FRA assigned 
the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0076.
    Applicant: Port of Los Angeles, Mr. Ron Groves, PE, Senior Civil 
Engineer, Engineering Division, 425 South Palos Verdes Street, San 
Pedro, CA 90731.
    POLA seeks approval of the proposed discontinuance of Control Point 
(CP) Transfer Junction at Milepost 1.2 on the Pacific Harbor Line, San 
Pedro Subdivision. CP Transfer Junction will

be discontinued and all associated signal equipment consisting of Power 
Switch 1, Absolute Signals 2E, 2WA, and 
2WC, and two ``D'' inoperative approach signals will be 
removed.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is the construction of 
new yard storage tracks that will require the discontinuance of CP 
Transfer Junction.
