[Docket Number FRA-1999-6364]


Northeast Illinois Railroad Corporation; Cancellation of Public 
Hearing

    On April 4, 2000, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 
published a notice in the Federal Register (65 FR 17704) announcing 
that a public hearing will be held based upon the Northeast Illinois 
Railroad Corporation's (Metra) request seeking a permanent waiver of 
compliance with the Passenger Equipment Safety Standards, 49 CFR part 
238.303, which requires exterior calendar day inspection, and 238.313, 
which requires a class one brake test be performed by a qualified 
maintenance person. Metra has withdrawn its request; therefore, the 
hearing scheduled for Tuesday, May 16, 2000, in Chicago, Illinois, has 
been canceled.
    FRA regrets any inconvenience occasioned by the cancellation of 
this hearing.

    Issued in Washington, DC on May 8, 2000.
Grady C. Cothen, Jr.,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Standards and Program 
Development.
