[Docket Number FRA-2008-0028]
Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on October 31, 2022, Riverport
Railroad, LLC (RVPR) 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 223 (Safety Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars and
Cabooses). The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2008-0028.
Specifically, RVPR requests relief from Sec. 223.11(a),
Requirements for Existing Locomotives, for one locomotive, RVPR 4029,
for operations not exceeding 10 miles per hour over a section of track
on the former Department of Defense Savanna Army Depot. The
installation is located in rural northwestern Illinois, with 80 percent
of the adjoining land owned by RVPR and partially under private
ownership. In support of its petition, RVPR states that the subject
trackage is enclosed and there are no overhead structures or bridges
from which objects could be thrown.
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="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
Communications received by January 23, 2023 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.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to
