sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES

Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on November 8, 2017, the
Hillsborough Area Regional Transit
Authority (HART) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for an extension of its existing Shared
Use waiver of compliance addressing its
limited connection with CSX
Transportation (CSX). The petition was
assigned docket number FRA–2002–
13398.
In its petition, HART seeks to extend
the terms and conditions of its Shared
Use waiver, originally granted by FRA’s
Railroad Safety Board (Board) on
October 18, 2002, and extended in 2006,
2011, and 2013. This Shared Use waiver
is for the continued operation of the
TECO Line Streetcar System at a
‘‘limited connection’’ (across the 14th
Street automatic interlocking at-grade

rail-rail crossing) with a railroad
operated by CSX in Tampa, Florida.
Trains belonging to the National
Railroad Passenger Corporation
(Amtrak) also cross at this location. In
its petition, HART sites that there have
been no deficiencies with its operation
since the last approval in 2013 and that
HART, CSX, and Amtrak have
continually interfaced with FRA
Regional staff to monitor the safety at
that location.
Although no relief from any specific
regulations is sought, FRA has closely
monitored this crossing to ensure that
the HART streetcar personnel such as
operators and dispatchers regularly
communicate with CSX and Amtrak in
order to ensure safety at this location.
FRA’s regular audits at this location
focus on operating practices contained
in 49 CFR part 217, Railroad Operating
Rules, in order to ensure that CSX,
Amtrak, and streetcar crews are trained
properly at this location and understand
what to do if signals malfunction or
other issues arise.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket

scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Crash Investigation Sampling
System (CISS).
OMB Control Number: 2127–0706.
Type of Request: Collection of motor
vehicle crash data.
Abstract: The collection of crash data
that support the establishment and
enforcement of motor vehicle
regulations that reduce the severity of
injury and property damage caused by
motor vehicle crashes is authorized
under the National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89–
563, Title 1, Sec. 106, 108, and 112).
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration has been investigating
high severity crashes and collecting
crash data through its National
Automotive Sampling System (NASS)
Crashworthiness Data System (NASS–
CDS) and Special Crash Investigation
(SCI) programs. The NASS was designed
in the 1970’s to collect data. Due to
population shifts and vehicle
transformation, among many other
changes since NASS was established,
the crash population has changed in the
country. At the same time, the data
needs of the transportation community
have significantly increased over the
last three decades. The scope of traffic
safety studies has also been expanding.
For example, the primary focus of the
original NASS design was to enhance
crashworthiness by providing detailed
information about crush damage,
restraint system performance and injury
mechanisms. In recent years, however,
the transportation community has been
increasingly more interested in adding
data elements related to what happens
before a crash and related crash
avoidance safety countermeasures.
Recognizing the importance as well as
the limitations of the past NASS system,
NHTSA has undertaken a
modernization effort to upgrade our data
systems by improving the information
technology infrastructure, updating the
data we collect and reexamining the
sample sites. The goal of this overall
modernization effort was to develop a
new crash data system that meets
current and future data needs. The
newly redesigned investigation-based
acquisition system is a nationallyrepresentative sample of passenger
vehicle crashes. This newly-designed
system, the Crash Investigation
Sampling System (CISS), will focus on
detailed investigation of passenger
vehicle crashes. CISS was implemented
