Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2006-23686]


Petition for Approval of Product Safety Plan

    Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
provides the public notice that on October 16, 2018, BNSF Railway 
Company (BNSF) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for 
approval of a Product Safety Plan (PSP) Version 2.5, dated August 31, 
2018, pursuant to 49 CFR 236.907(a). FRA assigned the petition Docket 
Number FRA-2006-23686.
    BNSF requests FRA approval of a PSP for the Dual Radar Roadway 
Vehicle Detector (VDR24). The VDR24, supplied by Island Radar, is used 
as a vehicle detection subsystem for four-quadrant gate crossing 
warning systems, with its intended application as an alternative to 
inductive loop vehicle detectors. BNSF asserts that this PSP addresses 
all requirements of 49 CFR 236.907(a). The petition states that Version 
2.5 incorporates revisions required by the conditions of FRA's July 19, 
2018 letter.
    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

scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since

should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
