[Docket No. FRA-1999-5102]


Notice of Public Hearing; The Southeastern Pennsylvania 
Transportation Authority

    The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has 
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking a waiver 
of compliance with the requirements of Title 49 CFR 213.233(c). SEPTA 
proposes to substitute the operation of a track geometry measuring car 
over main track and sidings constructed with continuously welded rail 
in place of one of the currently required twice weekly visual 
inspections.
    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 on this proposal.
    Accordingly, a public hearing is hereby set for 9:00 a.m. EDT, on 
Wednesday, August 25, 1999 in the Wanamaker Building, 100 Penn Square 
East, Tenth Floor Training Center, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
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 Practice (Title 49 CFR Part 
211.25), by a representative designated by the FRA.

    Issued in Washington, DC on July 16, 1999.
Edwards R. English,
Director, Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance.
