associated I-ETMS safety processes, safety analyses, and test, 
validation, and verification processes used during the development of 
I-ETMS. The PTCSP also contains CP's operational and support 
requirements and procedures.
    CP's PTCSP and the accompanying request for approval and system 
certification are available for review online at www.regulations.gov

elect not to respond to any particular comment and, under 49 CFR 
236.1009(d)(3), FRA maintains the authority to approve or disapprove 
the PTCSP at its sole discretion. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a 
public hearing regarding CP's PTCSP because the circumstances do not 
appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party desires an 
opportunity for oral comment, the party should notify FRA in writing 
before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for his or 
her request.
