Under
part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), this document
provides the public notice that by letter
dated June 16, 2025, APTA petitioned
FRA for a special approval of an
alternative standard to certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR part
238 (Passenger Equipment Safety
Standards). FRA assigned the petition
Docket No. FRA–2025–0260.
Specifically, APTA requests approval
of an alternative standard to
§ 238.309(b)(4), Periodic brake
equipment maintenance, for electropneumatic type brake systems on
Stadler GTW and FLIRT MUs. The
regulation states that brake systems on
MUs have maintenance intervals of 736
days (about 2 years) for cleaning,
repairing, and testing brake
components. APTA petitions to increase
the maintenance interval to at least
1,840 days (about 5 years).1 In support

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

may consider APTA’s petition as a request
to conduct an age exploration program that may
demonstrate a potential cleaning, repairing, and
testing interval beyond the 1,840-day minimum

of its petition, APTA states that the MUs
are 100 percent equipped with air
dryers.
With this petition, APTA intends to
begin an age exploration program, in
which a test committee (including the
original equipment manufacturer and
FRA representatives), would test the
brake components of GTW and FLIRT
MUs. Testing of 2 vehicles per type
would be conducted every half year up
to 5 years of service,2 as a
representational percentage of the 21
GTW and 20 FLIRT cars that are in
revenue service on six railroads.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
Communications received by
September 29, 2025 will be considered
by FRA before final action is taken.
Comments received after that date will
be considered if practicable.
