  • 2025-03363 — Notice of Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 11089
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has announced that the Association of American Railroads (AAR) has requested an extension of relief from certain safety regulations for rail cars with end-of-car cushioning units. The AAR wants to keep using these rail cars even if they show minor leaks, as long as a condition indicator shows the cushioning unit is still working. They argue that this waiver has helped protect workers and avoid unnecessary repairs. The public can submit their comments on this request until April 2, 2025, through the official regulations website.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is thinking about letting train cars with special springs keep rolling even if they have tiny leaks, as long as a little gadget says they're still working okay. People can say what they think about this idea until April next year.

  • 2025-03387 — Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC, Grant of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 11089
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    Mercedes-Benz discovered that some of their 2019-2020 model vehicles have brake warning lights that are slightly smaller than required by safety standards. After filing a report, they asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to decide if this issue is minor and doesn't affect safety. NHTSA agreed with Mercedes-Benz, stating that the smaller size of the warning lights doesn't significantly impact safety, as they are still visible and correctly convey their message. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz does not need to alert customers or fix the issue for free.

    Simple Explanation

    Mercedes-Benz had some cars where the brake warning lights were a little small, but the people in charge checked and decided it's not a big deal because you can still see the lights clearly. So, Mercedes-Benz doesn't have to tell car owners or fix the small lights for free.
