Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA-2007-0030]
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 March 11, 2022, NJ TRANSIT
Corporation (NJT) 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 213,
219, 221, 222, 223, 229, 231, 234, 236, 238, 239, 242, 243, and 270.
The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2007-0030.
Specifically, NJT requests an extension of relief from multiple
regulations and seeks new relief from two additional parts (243 and
270) for NJT's Southern New Jersey Light Rail Transit (the ``River
Line''). The River Line is a commuter light rail transit system that
operates over the Bordentown Secondary Track, track NJT shares with the
Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail). The operation uses diesel
multiple unit trainsets during an exclusive passenger period,
temporally separated from Conrail's nightly freight operations over the
same tracks. NJT states that the relief facilitates more efficient and
productive joint use of the trackage and that the limited nighttime
joint operations have been carried out safely since the original waiver
was granted.
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 May 13, 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.).
