Federal Railroad Administration


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration 
(FRA) received a request for a waiver of compliance with certain 
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is 
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory 
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the 
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

The Canadian National Railway Company

[Waiver Docket Number FRA-2001-9486]

    The Canadian National Railway Company (CN) is the owner of a 100-
ton, seven unit articulated ramp car and has petitioned FRA for 
modification of an extension to the waiver granted on January 11, 2002, 
in FRA Docket Number 2000-9486. Specifically, CN has requested that the 
existing waiver be modified on condition no. 4 to extend the use of the 
ramp car by any of the CN affiliated railroads on any portion of the CN 
system in the United States.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings 
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate 
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since 
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party 
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in 
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for 
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the 
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-
2001-9486) and must be submitted in triplicate to the Docket Clerk, DOT 
Central Docket Management Facility, Room Pl-401, 400 7th Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Communications received within 45 days of 
the date of this notice will be considered by 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 DOT Central Docket Management Facility, Room Pl-401 (Plaza 
Level), 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC. All documents in the 
public docket are also available for inspection and copying on the
