DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2013-0081]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated November 13, 2015, the Association of American Railroads (AAR)
has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a Special
Approval of certain industry standards in accordance with the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 231.33, Procedure for
special approval of existing industry safety appliance standards, and
49 CFR 231.35, Procedure for modification of an approved industry
safety appliance standard for new railcar construction. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0081.
    AAR, on behalf of itself and its member railroads, submitted a
petition for Special Approval of existing industry safety appliance
standards contained in 49 CFR part 231, Railroad Safety Appliance
Standards, and minor edits to AAR Standard S-2044 appendices that have
been previously approved by FRA. AAR is requesting approval of the
standards and specifications delineated in AAR Standard S-2044,
Appendices D1, Safety Appliances for Flatcars with Full Decks; F3,
Safety Appliances for Cars with Recessed Car Body Ends; and H1, Safety
Appliances for Enclosed Vehicle-Carrying Cars and Vehicle-Carrying
Superstructures Applied to Flatcars. AAR Standard S-2044 and its
appendices have been developed to serve as requirements for safety
appliance arrangements. The revised standard and its appendices are to
be applied to new railroad freight cars if approved by FRA.
    AAR Standard S-2044 was established by the AAR Safety Appliance
Task Force (Task Force), which was created by AAR's Equipment
Engineering Committee (EEC) to develop industry standards for safety
appliance arrangements on modern railcar types not explicitly covered
by 49 CFR part 231. The Task Force consists of representatives from
Class I railroads, labor unions, car builders, private car owners, and
shippers, along with ergonomics experts and government representatives
from FRA and Transport Canada, who participate as nonvoting members.
The Task Force drafted a base safety appliance standard for all car
types, plus industry safety appliance standards for specific car types.
These industry standards have been adopted by AAR's Engineering
Equipment Committee and, with FRA's approval, will serve as the core
criteria for safety appliance arrangements on railcars that are more
specialized in design. With its petition, AAR included a deviation
table for Appendix D1 that shows where the AAR standard differs from
the regulatory text in 49 CFR part 231 and provides the rationale for
any deviations, along with analysis showing that the AAR Standard S-
2044 provides an equal or greater level of safety in each instance. In
addition, the table describes the ergonomic suitability of many of the
proposed arrangements in normal use, as the standards were developed by
the Task Force to incorporate ergonomic design principles.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the Department of Transportation's
(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140,

Number FRA-2011-0041.
    Amtrak seeks approval of the proposed decrease of the limits of
Hart Interlocking, milepost 32.7 on Amtrak's Springfield Line,

power-operated switch a hand-operated switch, which will be outside of
the decreased interlocking limits

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No: FAA-2023-0203]

Deadline for Notification of Intent To Use the Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) Primary, Cargo, and Nonprimary Entitlement
Funds Available to Date for Fiscal Year 2023

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Federal Register notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action announces February 28, 2023, as the deadline for
each airport sponsor to notify the FAA if it will use its Fiscal Year
(FY) 2023 entitlement funds to accomplish Airport Improvement Program
(AIP) eligible projects. Each sponsor has previously identified to the
FAA such projects through the Airports Capital Improvement Plan
process. This action further announces May 5, 2023, as the deadline for
an airport sponsor to submit a final grant application, based on bids,
for grants that will be funded with FY 2023 entitlement funds only.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David F. Cushing, Manager, Airports
Financial Assistance Division, APP-500, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 49 U.S.C. 47105(f) provides that the
sponsor of an airport for which entitlement funds (referred to as
apportionments in 49 U.S.C. 47114) are apportioned shall notify the
Secretary, by such time and in a form as prescribed by the Secretary,
of the airport sponsor's intent to submit a grant application for its
available entitlement funds. Therefore, the FAA is hereby notifying
such airport sponsors of the steps required to ensure that the FAA has
sufficient time to carry over and convert remaining entitlement funds.
    The AIP grant program is authorized by Public Law 115-254, the
``FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018,'' enacted on October 5, 2018, which
permits the FAA to make grants for planning and airport development and
airport noise compatibility under the AIP through September 30, 2023.
The funds allocated to the FAA to fund the AIP grant program are
appropriated by an annual Appropriations Act. Apportioned funds will be
subject to allocation formulas prescribed by 49 U.S.C. 47114 and any
other applicable legislative text.
    This notice applies only to sponsors of airports that have
entitlement funds appropriated for FY 2023 to use on eligible and
justified projects. State aviation agencies participating in the FAA's
State Block Grant Program, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C. 47128, are
responsible for notifying the FAA which covered nonprimary airports in
their programs will be using their entitlement funds for eligible and
justified projects.
    An airport sponsor intending to apply for any of its available
entitlement funds, including those unused, but still available in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47117 from prior years, must notify the FAA
of its intent to submit a grant application by 12:00 p.m. prevailing
local time on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
    This notice must be in writing and stipulate the total amount the
sponsor intends to use for eligible and justified projects during FY
2023, including those entitlement funds not obligated from prior years
that remain available in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47117 (also known as
protected carryover). These notifications are critical to ensure
efficient planning and administration of the AIP. Absent the
notification of intent to submit a grant application by the above-
mentioned deadline, the FAA will carry over the available entitlement
funds on March 10, 2023. These funds will not be available again to the
airport sponsor until the beginning of FY 2024.
    The final grant application deadline for entitlement funds only is
Friday, May 5, 2023. The final grant application funding requests
should be based on bids, not estimates. As prescribed under 49 U.S.C.
47117, the FAA will carryover the remainder of available entitlement
funds after June 9, 2023. These funds will not be available again to
the airport sponsor until the beginning of FY 2024. Dates are subject
to possible adjustment based on future legislation. As of the
publication of this notice, the appropriations and the authorization
legislation for the FAA both expire on September 30, 2023.
    The FAA has determined these deadlines will expedite and facilitate
the FY 2023 grant-making process.

Director (Acting), Office of Airport Planning and Programming.
