[Docket Number FRA-2022-0057]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that by letter dated May 17, 2022,
Symans Enterprises (Symans) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 230.17,
One thousand four hundred seventy-two (1472) service day inspection.
FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2022-0057.
Specifically, Symans requests relief for steam locomotive VC 6,
which is used in public tourist excursions. Regarding the locomotive's
1472 service day inspection, Symans requests to extend the period in
which the inspection is due from July 7, 2022, to December 31, 2023.
Symans states that the annual inspection of VC 6 was completed in
October 2021, and the extension would allow Symans to recover from
revenue losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In support of its
request, Symans states that the locomotive has been stored inside and
has operated without incident.
A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at

specify the basis for their request.
