[Docket Number FRA-2022-0066]
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 June 21, 2022,
Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad (OCSR) 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-2022-0066.
Specifically, OCSR requests relief for steam locomotive MCRR #25,
which is used in public tourist excursions. OCSR seeks to extend the
period in which the locomotive's 1472 service day inspection is due
from August 25, 2022, to December 20, 2022 (the end of the 2022 running
season). OCSR states that MCRR #25 is OCSR's primary locomotive for
passenger excursions, which typically sees 80-100 service days, but the
COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 limited the service days to 30. In support of
its request, OCSR states that the locomotive would run no more than 50
service days during the additional months of relief.
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

Communications received by September 8, 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
