RESQ-94-7]


Petition for a Waiver Compliance; Public Hearing

    The James River Corporation seeks permanent exemption from all 
requirements associated with title 49 Code of Federal Regulations parts 
217 Railroad Operating Rules, 218 Railroad Operating Practices, 219 
Control of Alcohol and Drug Use, 228 Hours of Service, and 240 
Qualification of Certification Locomotive Engineers. The James River 
Corporation operates a plant railroad inside their Naheola paper mill, 
located in Pennington, Alabama, and occasionally operates over the 
Meridian and Bigbee Railroad (MBRR), which is also owned by James River 
Corporation. The method of operation on the MBRR is yard limits. The 
petitioner indicates that granting the exemption will greatly 
facilitate the movement of cars within the yard limits and is in the 
public interest and will not adversely affect safety.
    The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has determined that a 
public hearing be held in this matter. Accordingly, a public hearing is 
hereby scheduled for 8 a.m., July 19, 1995, in the Police Court Room at 
2415 Sixth Street, Meridian, Mississippi. The hearing will be informal 
and conducted in accordance with Rule 25 of the FRA rules of practice 
(Title 49 CFR 211.25), by a representative designated by the FRA. The 
hearing will be a nonadversarial proceeding in which all interested 
parties will be given the opportunity to express their view regarding 
this waiver petition.

    Issued in Washington, DC., on June 28, 1995.
James T. Schultz,
Acting Director, Office of Safety Enforcement.
