DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA-2006-24647]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on September 3, 2021, the
Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum (HVRM) 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 part 219, Control of Alcohol and Drug Use. The relevant FRA
Docket Number is FRA-2006-24647.
Specifically, HVRM requests an extension of existing relief from 49
CFR part 219, subpart E, Reasonable Cause Testing; subpart G, Random
Alcohol and Drug Testing Programs; and subpart K, Referral Programs.\1\
HVRM is a volunteer-operated, non-profit operating railroad museum,
located in North
[[Page 54786]]
Judson, Indiana. HVRM requests this extension due to its limited
weekend operating schedule and Chesapeake & Indiana Railroad's (CKIN)
weekday schedule. On those few occasions each year where local
communities have festivals, HVRM and CKIN maintain communication
regarding HVRM's operation times.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ By rule dated June 10, 2016 (81 FR 37894), portions of 49
CFR part 219 were revised, which slightly changes the regulations
from which HVRM now seeks relief versus relief sought in the past.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

concerning the petition, is available for review online at
