date of the exemption (30 days after the
verified notice was filed).
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of its
employees. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c)
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under 49 U.S.C. 11324 and
11325 that involve only Class III rail
carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not
impose labor protective conditions here
because all of the carriers involved are
Class III rail carriers.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions to stay must be
filed no later than July 11, 2024.
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36789, must be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board either via
e-filing on the Board’s website or in
writing addressed to 395 E Street SW,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In

be served on Applicants’ representative,
Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel
LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800,
Chicago, IL 60606–3208.
According to the verified notice, this
action is categorically excluded from
environmental review under 49 CFR
1105.6(c) and from historic preservation
reporting requirements under 49 CFR
1105.8(b).

the Union Pacific Railroad Company
(UP) at UP milepost 613.81 and
proceeds approximately eastward and
then northward 0.51 miles to the main

According to the verified notice,
FRRL and RLCL have entered into an

Managers (International) Limited, and
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.,
seek to continue in control of FRRL
upon FRRL’s becoming a Class III rail

projected revenues as a result of the
transaction will not exceed those that
would qualify it as a Class III carrier and
will not exceed $5 million. FRRL also

not have any interchange commitments.

invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of

conditions, PIREPs are the only means
of confirmation that forecasted
conditions are occurring. The FAA
7110–2 PIREP Form is a guide to assist
pilots in submitting Pilot Weather
Reports into the NAS.

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 May 29, 2024, Mr. Ray Kolasa,
President, Buffalo, Cattaraugus &
Jamestown Scenic Railway (Petitioner)
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) to extend a
waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR parts
215 (Railroad Freight Car Safety
Standards). FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2019–0065.
Specifically, Petitioner requests to
extend the previous special approval
pursuant to 49 CFR 215.203, Restricted
cars, in this docket for caboose PC
18216, which is more than 50 years
from the date of original construction.
Petitioner also seeks relief from

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:36 Jul 02, 2024

Jkt 262001

§ 215.303, Stenciling of restricted cars,
to operate the car in tourist service on
the Buffalo Southern Railroad and the
Buffalo, Cattaraugus & Jamestown
Scenic Railway. The petition states that
stenciling of the caboose per the
regulation ‘‘would distract from [the
caboose’s] historical image.’’ In support
of this request, Petitioner explains that
no accidents or injuries have been
associated with the use of the caboose.
Further, PC 18216 will not be
interchanged with any other railroad.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate

in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.

proceedings should identify the

[Docket Number FRA–2008–0097]

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 by letter dated May 8, 2024, New
Jersey Transit (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 part 218 (Railroad
Operating Practices). The relevant
Docket Number is FRA–2008–0097.
Specifically, NJT requests continued
relief from § 218.29(c)(1), Alternate
methods of protection, which states that
‘‘when workers are on, under, or
between rolling equipment on any track,
other than main track: a derail . . . will
fulfill the requirements of a manually
operated switch when positioned no
less than 150 feet from the end [of] such
equipment.’’ This relief permits NJT to
instead apply the requirements of
§ 218.29(a)(4), which allows a derail to
be positioned ‘‘at least 50 feet from the
end of the equipment to be protected by
the blue signal,’’ at the Morrisville Yard
facility in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.
In support of its request, NJT states
that since the waiver has been in effect,
no accidents, incidents, or injuries have
occurred due to the relief. Additionally,
NJT continues to enforce a speed
restriction of 5 miles per hour and
ensure that a Yard Master is present at
the Morrisville Yard 7 days per week
and for 24 hours per day, per the
conditions of the relief.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
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 parties desire
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
