[Docket Number FRA-2012-0034]


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.
    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
