DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA-1999-6069]
Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on September 8, 2021, Buffalo
Southern Railroad Inc. (BSOR) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained
at 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing locomotives. The relevant
FRA Docket Number is FRA-1999-6069.
Specifically, BSOR requests an extension of relief from the safety
glazing standards of 49 CFR 223.11 for three yard locomotives (BSOR 93,
BSOR 100, and BSOR 105). BSOR is a short line freight carrier, and the
locomotives are used for rail service and in-plant switching. All yard
switching operations are performed at restricted speed. The locomotives
are equipped with one-quarter inch safety glass consisting of two glass
plates with laminating material. BSOR requests relief because of the
slow speeds and the current safety glass installed on the locomotives.
A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
Communications received by November 15, 2021 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
