jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Electro-Motive Diesels, Inc.
(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–
2007–0031)
The Electric-Motive Diesels, Inc.
(EMD) seeks a temporary waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
49 CFR Part 232, Brake System Safety
Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment.
Specifically, the requirements for
equipping new locomotives with the
ability to display in ‘‘real-time’’ in the
cab of the controlling (lead) locomotive
the total train dynamic brake retarding
force available in the train, as prescribed
in § 232.309(g)(2).
EMD is making this request due to a
shortage of a critical component
required for the system. This will affect
up to 40 locomotives that EMD will be
delivering to BNSF Railway during
January and February, 2008, that will
not have the ability to communicate
dynamic brake status with other
locomotives in the consist. EMD states
that this non-compliant condition will
be corrected within 184 days, at the
locomotive’s second quarterly
inspection. EMD states that they will
provide the specific locomotive road
numbers to FRA after the locomotives
are shipped and will follow-up with
notification when they are brought into
compliance. In support of the waiver
request, EMD notes that all of these
units are equipped to display the train
deceleration rate presently allowed as
an alternative for rebuilt locomotives as
prescribed in § 232.109(h)(2).
Communications received within 15
days of the date of this notice will be
considered by FRA before final action is
taken. Comments received after that
date will be considered as far as
practicable. Since this portion of the
regulations did not become effective
until late 2007, and only applies to new
locomotives placed in service after
October 2007, FRA reserves the right to
grant temporary relief prior to the
expiration of the comment period so
that EMD may meet existing contracts.
FRA expects the railroads to operate
these non-compliant locomotives under
the same requirements as prescribed in
§ 232.109, Dynamic Brake
Requirements, for locomotives not
equipped with the ability to display this
real-time dynamic brake information to
the locomotive engineer.
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, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.

proceedings should identify the
