Federal Railroad Administration


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.

Heber Valley Historic Railroad Authority

[Docket Number FRA-2000-7413]

    The Heber Valley Historic Railroad Authority seeks a waiver of 
compliance with the Inspection and Maintenance Standards for Steam 
Locomotives, 49 CFR part 230, published November 17, 1999. Section 
230.3(c) of the standards requires steam locomotives having flue tubes 
replaced prior to September 25, 1995, have a one thousand four hundred 
seventy-two service day inspection (49 CFR 230.17) performed prior to 
being allowed to operate under the requirements of part 230. The Heber 
Valley Historic Railroad Authority seeks this waiver for one locomotive 
number 618 which had the flue tubes replaced and was returned to 
service May 13, 1995, one hundred-fifty-five days prior to the cut off 
date published in part 230.
    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, 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 Number FRA-
2000-7413) and must be submitted to the Docket Clerk, DOT Central 
Docket Management Facility, Room Pl-401, Washington, DC, 20590-0001. 
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.) at the above 
facility. All documents in the public docket are also available for 
inspection and copying on the Internet at the docket facility's Web
