[Docket Number FRA-2003-15432]


BNSF Railway Company; Notice of Extension of Comment Period

    The BNSF Railway Company has petitioned the Federal Railroad 
Administration (FRA) seeking approval to expand the existing waiver, 
granted on June 23, 2004, from Fort Worth, Texas, milepost 346.67, to 
Arkansas City, Kansas, milepost 264.11, on the Fort Worth and Red Rock 
Subdivisions, a distance of approximately 329 miles. This expansion 
request is identified as Docket No. FRA-2003-15432.
    The FRA has issued a public notice seeking comments of interested 
parties. After examining the railroad's proposal and the comments, FRA 
determined that a public hearing was necessary before a final decision 
was made on this proposal. A public hearing was conducted in this 
matter on February 23, 2006. At the hearing, FRA announced that it 
would extend the comment period in this proceeding until 10 business 
days after the transcript of the public hearing is made available on 
the Department of Transportation's (DOT's) Docket Management System 
found at http://dms.dot.gov in order to permit interested parties to 
review the transcript prior to submitting comments.
    Accordingly, FRA is extending the comment period in this proceeding 
until 10 business days after the transcript of the public hearing is 
posted on DOT's Document Management System. All communications 
concerning these proceedings should identify the appropriate docket 
number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2003-15432) and must be 
submitted to the Docket Clerk, DOT Docket Management Facility, Room PL-
401 (Plaza Level), 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. 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.
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all comments 
received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual 
submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf 
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's 
complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register published on 
April 11, 2000 (Volume 65, Number 70; Pages 19477-78). The Statement
