[Docket Number FRA-1999-6253]
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 October 15, 2021, the Utah
Transit Authority (UTA) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) for a modification and an extension of a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR parts 210, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 225,
228, 229, 231, 234, 238, 239, 240, 242, and 243. The relevant FRA
Docket Number is FRA-1999-6253.
UTA, operator of the rail fixed guideway public transit system TRAX
in Salt Lake City, Utah, seeks to extend and expand the terms and
conditions of its current shared use waiver of compliance. TRAX is
operated with temporal separation on track owned by UTA and shared
partially with Utah Railway Company and Savage Bingham & Garfield
Railroad Company freight trains dispatched by UTA.
A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
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 <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
Communications received by December 13, 2021 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
