30 Day Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 2023 / Notices
As described in Section I.A above,
FICC’s proposal to replace the current
detailed description of the stressed
period with a more general description
should give FICC more flexibility to
respond to rapidly changing market
conditions more quickly because FICC
would be able to make adjustments to
the stressed period without a rule
change. As a result, this flexibility
should enable FICC to better risk
manage its credit exposure by
enhancing FICC’s ability to calculate
and collect margin commensurate with
the risks and particular attributes of
each member’s portfolio.
For these reasons, the Commission
believes that the proposed changes
should help ensure that FICC produces
margin levels commensurate with the
risks and particular attributes of its
members’ portfolios by adding
flexibility to parameters for the stressed
period to help ensure that the look-back
period captures a sufficient number of
stressed market events, and allowing
FICC to make timely adjustments to the
stressed period in response to rapidly
changing market conditions.
Accordingly, the Commission believes
that the proposed changes would
enhance FICC’s risk-based margin
system to better enable FICC to cover its
credit exposures to its members because
the proposed changes consider the risks
and particular attributes of the relevant
products, portfolios, and markets,
consistent with the requirements of Rule
17Ad–22(e)(6)(i).37 Similarly, the
Commission believes that the proposed
changes are reasonably designed to
cover FICC’s credit exposures to its
members because the proposed changes
would enhance FICC’s risk-based
margin system using appropriate
methods for measuring credit exposures
that account for relevant product risk
factors and portfolio effects, consistent
with the requirements of Rule 17Ad–
22(e)(6)(v).38

III. Conclusion
On the basis of the foregoing, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and in
particular with the requirements of
Section 17A of the Act 39 and the rules
and regulations promulgated
thereunder. It is therefore ordered,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 40
that proposed rule change SR–FICC–

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
Regulations Governing Certain
Positive Train Control System Outages
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public about FRA’s
regulations that currently govern certain
outages of positive train control (PTC)
systems during, for example,
infrastructure upgrades and capital
projects. This notice also contains
information about the process a railroad
must follow to obtain FRA’s approval
before temporarily disabling its PTC
system for such purposes.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
technical questions, please contact Gabe
Neal, Staff Director, Signal, Train
Control, and Crossings Division,
telephone: 816–516–7168, email:
[email protected]. For legal questions,
please contact Stephanie Anderson,
Attorney Adviser, telephone: 202–834–
0609, email: Stephanie.Anderson@
dot.gov.
SUMMARY:

By law,
PTC systems must govern operations on
PTC-mandated main lines, which

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

PO 00000

Frm 00110

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

currently encompass approximately
58,000 route miles, and include Class I
railroads’ main lines over which poisonor toxic-by-inhalation hazardous
materials are transported and any
railroads’ main lines over which
intercity or commuter rail passenger
transportation is regularly provided.1
Previously, FRA’s regulations
permitted railroads to temporarily
disable PTC systems where necessary to
perform PTC system repair or
maintenance.2 That temporary
flexibility expired, by regulation, on
December 31, 2022.3 Under that
temporary provision, railroads were
required only to notify to FRA; seeking
FRA’s approval was not necessary.
FRA appreciates that several types of
PTC systems can be upgraded
seamlessly, without necessitating an
interruption of PTC system service. FRA
also recognizes, however, that in limited
cases, even those types of PTC systems
might experience temporary outages for
a short period during certain
infrastructure upgrades.4 In addition,
FRA understands that the design of
certain PTC systems, including the
Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement
System II on the Northeast Corridor,
may require more extended periods of
outages to facilitate ongoing capital
projects. FRA expects that, in such a
case, a railroad would schedule the
temporary disabling of its PTC system
for the time posing the least risk to
railroad safety and for the minimum
time necessary to complete the capital
project and recommission its PTC
system.5
As noted above, 49 CFR
236.1029(g)(3) previously permitted
railroads to temporarily disable their
PTC systems, with just notification to
FRA; however, that provision expired
on December 31, 2022, and is therefore
no longer available for railroads to
utilize. Now, if a railroad needs to
disable its PTC system temporarily for
maintenance or upgrade purposes, a
railroad must obtain FRA’s approval
under 49 CFR 236.1021,
Discontinuances, material
modifications, and amendments, before
temporarily disabling its PTC system or
1 Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 20157; Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 236.1005(b),
236.1006(a). This requirement does not apply,
however, to a railroad’s controlling locomotives that
are subject to either a temporary or permanent
exception under 49 U.S.C. 20157(j)–(k) or 49 CFR
236.1006(b).
2 49 CFR 236.1029(g)(3).
3 Id.
4 For example, FRA is aware of multiple railroads’
electrical infrastructure upgrade projects that
involved disabling the PTC system for a maximum
period of four hours.
5 See 49 CFR 236.1029(g)(3)(ii), 236.1033(f).
