Notice of Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

Norfolk Southern Railway Company has submitted a petition to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver from specific regulations that require regular testing of their vital microprocessor-based systems. This notice informs the public about the petition, which, if granted, would allow Norfolk Southern to continue operating under the current relief until June 25, 2026.

By granting this extension, Norfolk Southern can avoid the costs and efforts associated with the periodic testing of their systems until June 2026. This could help them focus on other operational aspects without immediate regulatory pressure.
