[Docket Number FRA-2016-0050]


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 April 27, 2016, the South Central Florida Express (SCFE) has 
petitioned the

[[Page 36987]]

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from 
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained 
at 49 CFR part 229, Railroad Locomotive Safety Standards. FRA assigned 
this petition Docket Number FRA-2016-0050.
    In its petition, SCFE proposes to maintain the daily inspection 
reports required by 49 CFR 229.21, Daily inspection, solely in 
electronic format. The system that SCFE proposes consists of a USB 
memory drive containing locomotive identifying information permanently 
affixed to each locomotive, with a semi-permanently installed, hardened 
tablet computer in each locomotive. In lieu of paper records, this 
computer system would run software prompting and recording the results 
of daily inspections and transmitting those inspection details directly 
and securely back to a central database maintained by the company, 
where they will be retained for at least 120 days. SCFE states that 
this system would fully satisfy the goals of daily inspection records 
to be accurate, not susceptible to after-the-fact changes, and readily 
available to FRA inspectors at any time.
    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 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 
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax: 202-493-2251.

Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 
except Federal Holidays.
    Communications received by July 25, 2016 will be considered by FRA 
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be 
considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone is able to 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,

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 www.dot.gov/privacy.
