Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA-2012-0096]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
provides the public notice that on December 30, 2019, DPS Electronics,
Inc. (DPS) 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 232. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA-2012-0096.
DPS is a Montana-based corporation that specializes in designing
and manufacturing train telemetry and test equipment. DPS seeks to
extend its waiver of compliance from the requirements put forth in 49
CFR 232.409(d), Inspection and Testing of End-of-Train Devices, for
several end-of train (EOT) and head-of-train (HOT) device models. DPS
previously received a waiver for EOT device models DPS 2020 and DPS
2020-He on March 20, 2013. On July 10, 2015, DPS received a waiver for
HOT device models DPS 3030 HTD-CM and DPS 3030 I-HTD. Subsequently, on
January 10, 2017, DPS received a waiver for an additional EOT device
model DPS 2020-He2. These previous waivers were tied to Ritron, Inc.'s
waiver (Docket Number FRA-2009-0015) covering three models of their DTX
radios.

concerning the petition, is available for review online at
