DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2003-15012]

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 November 17, 2022, Canadian
National Railway Company (CN) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained
at 49 CFR part 241 (United States Locational Requirements for
Dispatching of United States Rail Operations). The relevant FRA Docket
Number is FRA-2003-15012.
    Specifically, CN requests an extension of relief pursuant to 49 CFR
241.7(c), Fringe border dispatching, to allow the continuation of
Canadian dispatching of two locations in the United States: the portion
of the Sprague Subdivision extending approximately 43.8 miles between
Baudette and International Boundary, Minnesota, and the portion of the
Strathroy Subdivision extending approximately 3.1 miles between Sarnia,
Ontario, Canada, through the St. Clair River Tunnel, to Port Huron,
Michigan.\1\ CN notes that since FRA's August 29, 2018, decision
letter, CN has idled the Rail Traffic Control Center at Macmillan Yard
in Concord (Toronto), Ontario. Therefore, CN is only seeking relief for
the locations dispatched by the Rail Traffic Control Center in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In support of its request, CN states that it
is ``unaware of any issues that have developed since 2018 regarding the
current arrangement [of dispatching].''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Both of these locations are defined in appendix A to part
241, List of Lines Being Extraterritorially Dispatched in Accordance
with the Regulations Contained in 49 CFR part 241, Revised as of
October 1, 2002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 March 20, 2023 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, including any
personal information the commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as
described in the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can
be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See also https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the privacy notice of

without prior proposal because we believe these SIP revisions are not
controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish
a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments
in subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note that if
we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: October 26, 2005.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
