[Docket Number FRA-2007-0007]
Petition for Expansion of Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on July 9, 2020, SMS Rail
Service (SLRS) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to
expand a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 223 (Safety
Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars and Cabooses). The
relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2007-0007.
Specifically, SLRS requests to expand its existing relief from 49
CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing locomotives, for locomotive SLRS
308, which is currently operated within the Pureland Industrial Park in
Bridgeport, New Jersey. SLRS requests to expand the service area to
include Penn Warner Industrial Park in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. In
support of its request, SLRS states that neither area has a history of
vandalism or broken glass, nor overhead bridges or tunnels.
Additionally, SLRS notes that track speeds are restricted speed not
exceeding 10 miles per hour.
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.

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
