SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 29, 2020, ARRC petitioned FRA for an extension of an Approval granted by the Associate Administrator for Railroad Safety in accordance with 49 CFR
174.63 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA20210064.
Specifically, ARRC sought extension of the approval issued under 174.63 to transport Methane, refrigerated liquid, UN 1972, Division 2.1 Flammable gas, also commonly referred to as LNG, by rail in UN cryogenic portable tanks secured on flat cars via the following routes: 1 Mainline service between Seward, AK and Fairbanks, AK, and 2
branch line service of approximately 12
miles between the Port of Whittier, AK, and milepost 64.3 of the ARRC
mainline.
ARRC notes in its petition that it has not begun to commercially transport LNG under the terms of its approval.
However, in its petition ARRC also notes that there is still a need for a clean and affordable energy source for interior Alaska. As a state-owned railroad operating under a statutory mandate to provide safe, efficient, and economical transportation to meet the overall needs of the state and its citizens, the ARRC
is positioned to facilitate the solution.
Additionally, ARRC suggests that demand for natural gas transportation is increasing, citing the recent installation of a 5.2-million-gallon storage tank by the natural gas distributor in Fairbanks, AK. ARRC describes ongoing business negotiations and developments that could soon result in opportunities to move LNG commercially by rail.
Finally, ARRC projects that once commercial operations commence under the terms of the approval, there may be a need to move as much as 60
portable tanks of product every 4 days, utilizing two portable tanks per flatcar and a maximum of 30 flatcars per train.
FRA first granted ARRCs petition in 2015. FRAs safety assessment was based upon detailed information provided by the ARRC, including results of assessments that were conducted by ARRC and evaluated by FRA technical experts for the routes over which LNG
would be moved. In 2017, FRA
modified the approval to expand the authorization to include the additional 12-mile branch line route from Port of
