Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration 
(FRA) received a request for a waiver of compliance with certain 
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is 
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.

Oil Creek & Titusville Lines

    The Oil Creek & Titusville Lines (OCTL), seeks a waiver of 
compliance from certain provisions of the Safety Glazing Standards, 49 
CFR 223, which requires certified glazing, for one locomotive. The OCTL 
is located in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The OCTL states they operate a 
short line freight operation and additionally an excursion railroad 
operation over 15.8 miles of track through rural countryside and one 
community on an average of two (2) round trips per week freight and 
three (3) round trips per week for passenger excursions.
    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
