Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA-2022-0030]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on March 31, 2022, Arcade and
Attica Railroad Corporation (ARA) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for 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. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2022-0030.
Specifically, ARA requests a waiver from the glazing regulations in
49 CFR part 223 for one locomotive, #113. ARA states that the
locomotive is equipped with one-quarter-inch safety glass, consisting
of two glass plates with a laminating material. In support of its
request, ARA states that it is a short line historic railroad and
freight carrier serving two customers on 15 miles of track at slow
speeds, installing custom glazing would be cost prohibitive, and it
reports no vandalism or window breakage issues in the past.
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 June 27, 2022 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.).
