Federal Railroad Administration


Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or 
Modification of a Railroad Signal System or Relief From the 
Requirements of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 236

    Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 235 and 
49 U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad has petitioned the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval for the discontinuance 
or modification of the signal system or relief from the requirements of 
49 CFR part 236 as detailed below.

[Docket No. FRA-2003-14648]

Applicant: CSX Transportation, Mr. Eric G. Peterson, Assistant Chief 
Engineer, Signal Design and Construction, 4901 Belfort Road, Suite 130 
(S/C J-370), Jacksonville, Florida 32256.

    CSX Transportation seeks approval of the proposed modification of 
the traffic control system (TCS) on the single track Wildwood Lead, 
milepost 0J2-145.31, near Wauhatchie Alabama, on the Nashville 
Division, Chattanooga, Subdivision. The proposed change consists of the 
relocation of the Northbound Absolute Signal from milepost 0J2-145.31 
to milepost 0J2-144.75, effectively decreasing the limits of the TCS by 
approximately .56 mile.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is to decrease the limits 
of the TCS on the Wildwood Lead to accommodate switching moves in 
Wauhatchie Yard.
    Any interested party desiring to protest the granting of an 
application shall set forth specifically the grounds upon which the 
protest is made, and include a concise statement of the interest of the 
party in the proceeding. Additionally, one copy of the protest shall be 
furnished to the applicant at the address listed above.
    All communications concerning this proceeding should be identified 
by the docket number and must be submitted to the Docket Clerk, DOT 
Central Docket Management Facility, Room PL-401 (Plaza Level), 400 7th 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001. Communications received within 
45 days of the date of this notice will be considered by the FRA before 
final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be 
considered as far as practicable. All written communications concerning 
these proceedings are available for examination during regular business 
hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) at the above facility. All documents in the 
public docket are also available for inspection and copying on the 
internet at the docket facility's Web site at http://dms.dot.gov.
    FRA expects to be able to determine these matters without an oral 
hearing. However, if a specific request for an oral hearing is 
accompanied by a showing that the party is unable to adequately present 
his or her position by written statements, an application may be set 
for public hearing.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 7, 2003.
Grady C. Cothen, Jr.,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Standards and Program 
Development.
