Qualification and Certification of Conductors. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA20210076.
LIRR requests an extension of the relief that was granted to the American Public Transportation Association APTA, on behalf of its member railroads, by letter dated September 18, 2020, from certain regulations pertaining to training.1 Specifically, LIRR refers to pages 1011 of the FRA
decision letter in Docket Number FRA
20200060, regarding relief from recurrent/refresher training requirements for parts 239, 240, and 242.
LIRR requests relief for approximately 30 higher level Transportation Department employees. LIRR states that it has had to limit classroom capacity for its training sessions because of the coronavirus disease 2019
COVID19 pandemic and states that it has a training backlog. Although LIRR
expects to eliminate this backlog for some groups of employees by September 18, 2021, when the APTA relief expires, LIRR asserts that it does not have the necessary classroom or instructor availability to catch up on training its Transportation Department higher-level employees by that date. Instead, LIRR
seeks an extension to permit recurrent/
refresher training of such employees to occur by December 31, 2021.
