Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2015-0023]


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 March 9, 2015, DPS Electronics has petitioned the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain 
provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 
CFR 221.13(d). FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2015-0023.
    DPS Electronics is seeking a waiver of compliance from 49 CFR 
221.13(d), Marking device display, which requires that the centroid of 
the marking device be located a minimum of 48 inches above the top of 
the rail. DPS would like to propose a marking device that will be 
located 41.3 to 44.3 inches (depending on final design) above the top 
of the rail.
    DPS is currently working on a new end-of-train device (ETD) design, 
the DPS 2020-He2. DPS's plan is to reduce weight to well under 15 
pounds. They propose doing so by reducing the enclosure size of the ETD 
to about 16 inches in height. DPS states that a 15 pound or less ETD 
will enhance railroad safety for all North American railways by 
reducing the risk of injuries to employees.
    A copy of the petition, technical attachments, as well as any 
written communications concerning the petition, is available for review 
online at www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey 
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations 
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 
Federal holidays.
    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 and may be submitted by any of the following
