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 21, 2012, the City of Nevada, Iowa (City), 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 part 222. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2012-0034.
The City is seeking a waiver from the provisions of 49 CFR 222.35(b), which requires active grade crossing warning devices at public crossings within a new quiet zone be equipped with constant warning time devices, so that the active grade crossing warning devices at South West 4th Street (DOT #199653D) are not required to be equipped with a constant warning time device in order to be included in a new quiet zone.
