Notice of Application for Approval of Informational Filing

    In accordance with Part 236 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice that 
BNSF Railway (BNSF) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration 
(FRA) for approval of Informational Filing (IF) for its Radar-Based 
Vehicle Detection System (RB-VDS). FRA assigned the petition Docket 
Number FRA-2006-23686.
    The RB-VDS is a processor-based vehicle presence detection system 
to be substituted for buried inductive loop detectors at four-quadrant 
gate crossings. The system provides radar sensors to detect the 
presence of moving or stopped vehicles in up to 10 lanes and up to 16 
user-configured detection zones. Exit gates are kept in a raised 
position until the RB-VDS confirms that no vehicles are in the crossing 
island.
    FRA is providing public notice that the railroad's IF and related 
documents have been placed in the docket listed above and are available 
for public inspection. FRA is not accepting public comment or notice
