DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Petition for a Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with 49 CFR 211.9 and 211.41, notice is hereby given 
that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has received a request 
for a waiver of compliance with certain requirements of Federal 
railroad safety regulations. The individual petitions are described 
below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory provisions 
involved, the nature of the relief being requested and the petitioner's 
arguments in favor of relief.
    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 comment, 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 (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket No. HS-92-1) 
and must be submitted in triplicate to the Docket Clerk, Office of 
Chief Counsel, Federal Railroad Administration, Nassif Building, 400 
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Communications received 
within 45 days of the date of this notice will be considered by FRA 
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be 
considered as far as practicable. All written communications concerning 
these proceedings are available for examination during regular business 
hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) in Room 8201, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.
    The waiver petition is as follows:

Algers, Winslow and Western Railway Company (AWW) FRA Waiver Petition 
Docket No. HS-95-10

    The AWW seeks a continuation of a previously issued exemption so it 
may permit certain employees to remain on duty not more than 16 hours 
in any 24-hour period. The AWW states that it is not its intention to 
employ a train crew over 12 hours per day under normal circumstances, 
but this exemption, if granted, would help its operation if unusual 
operating conditions are encountered.
    The AWW provides freight service over 16 miles of trackage within 
Pike County, Indiana. The petitioner indicates that granting the 
exemption is in the public interest and will not adversely affect 
safety. Additionally, the petitioner asserts it employs not more than 
15 employees and has demonstrated good cause for granting this 
exemption.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 22, 1995.
Phil Olekszyk,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Compliance and Program 
Implementation.
