[Docket Number FRA-2002-13398]

Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on September 14, 2022, the 
Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) petitioned the Federal Railroad 
Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from 
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained 
at 49 CFR parts 240 (Qualification and Certification of Locomotive 
Engineers) and 242 (Qualification and Certification of Conductors). The 
relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2002-13398.
    Specifically, HART requests to extend its existing relief related 
to the shared use operation of its TECO Line Streetcar System at a 
``limited connection'' with track operated by CSX Transportation (CSXT) 
in Tampa, Florida. HART states that two FRA inspections of the 14th 
Street shared at grade rail-rail crossing have been completed in the 
previous five years and all reports show no exceptions. HART also notes 
that the standard operating procedure at this interlocking location was 
updated in 2017 with the cooperation of CSXT, and reviewed in August 
2022.
    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 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 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting 
comments.
    Communications received by December 20, 2022 will be considered by 
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date 
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic 
form of any written communications and comments received into any of 
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or 
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association, 
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S. 
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to 
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit, 
including any personal information the commenter provides, to 
www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/
ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See also https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the
