Notice of Public Hearing

    The Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) has petitioned the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking a waiver of compliance with the 
requirements of Title 49 CFR Part 228.11(a)(1). UP proposes to utilize 
a computerized system of recording hours of duty data for Train, Engine 
and Yard employees.
    The FRA issued a public notice seeking comments of interested 
parties. After examining the railroad's proposal and the available 
facts, FRA has determined that a public hearing is necessary before a 
final decision is made of this proposal.
    Accordingly, a public hearing is hereby set for 9:00 a.m. MST, on 
Tuesday, September 15, 1998 in the Peak National Bank Building, 12345 
W. Alameda Parkway, Room 207, in Lakewood, Colorado. Interested parties 
are invited to present oral statements at the hearing.
    The hearing will be an informal one and will be conducted in 
accordance with Rule 25 of the FRA Rules of

[[Page 44302]]

Practice (Title 49 CFR Part 211.25), by a representative designated by 
the FRA.
    The hearing will be a nonadversary proceeding and, therefore, there 
will be no cross-examination of persons presenting statements. The FRA 
representative will make an opening statement outlining the scope of 
the hearing. After all initial statements have been completed, those 
persons wishing to make brief rebuttal statements will be given the 
opportunity to do so in the same order in which they made their initial 
statements. Additional procedures, if necessary for the conduct of the 
hearing, will be announced at the hearing.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on August 11, 1998.
Michael J. Logue,
Acting Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Compliance and Program 
Implementation.
