    The City of Placentia, California (City) has petitioned for

CFR 222.42 for continuation of an intermediate partial quiet zone. The

City states that it is working with the BNSF Railway Company to 
establish a 24-hour quiet zone, that certain improvements have already 
been made to the benefit of safety, and that all necessary improvements 
will be completed by September 22, 2006. The City seeks to retain the 
current nighttime quiet zone in order to avoid disruption and confusion 
during the period permanent arrangements are being completed and states 
that safety will not be compromised.
