[Docket Number FRA-1999-6253]


Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on October 15, 2021, the Utah 
Transit Authority (UTA) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration 
(FRA) for a modification and an extension of a waiver of compliance 
from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations 
contained at 49 CFR parts 210, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 225, 
228, 229, 231, 234, 238, 239, 240, 242, and 243. The relevant FRA 
Docket Number is FRA-1999-6253.
    UTA, operator of the rail fixed guideway public transit system TRAX 
in Salt Lake City, Utah, seeks to extend and expand the terms and 
conditions of its current shared use waiver of compliance. TRAX is 
operated with temporal separation on track owned by UTA and shared 
partially with Utah Railway Company and Savage Bingham & Garfield 
Railroad Company freight trains dispatched by UTA.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov.
    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 and a public hearing, 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 and may be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting 
comments.
    Communications received by December 13, 2021 will be considered by 
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date 
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic 
form of any written communications and comments received into any of 
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or 
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association, 
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S. 
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to 
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
