[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.
