[Docket Number FRA-2015-0059]


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations

[[Page 40130]]

(CFR), this provides the public notice that by a document dated June 
15, 2015, the Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern Railroad (CFER) has 
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of 
compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety 
regulations contained at Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
part 213. FRA assigned the petition docket number FRA-2015-0059.
    Pursuant to 49 CFR 213.119(h), CFER requests a waiver from the 
accepted practice to conduct walking joint bar inspections to detect 
cracks and other indications of potential joint failures in Continuous 
Welded Rail (CWR). The inspection will be conducted utilizing a Joint 
Bar Inspection System (JBIS). The JBIS system will conduct two tests in 
fiscal year 2015 with the target dates of July 20, 2015 and November 2, 
2015. Accordingly, CFER is seeking approval from the FRA to use the 
JBIS to fulfill the requirements of the walking joint bar inspection 
required by 49 CFR213.119(h).
    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
