The railroad asserts that these cars travel exclusively on their property at speeds of 20 mph or less and that there are only three public road crossings over which the cars traverse. The railroad has requested that it be exempt from applying the required retro-reflective material tape to the sides of these freight cars.

Each comment shall set forth specifically the basis upon which it is made, and contain a concise statement of the interest of the commenter in the proceeding.
