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.

Mohawk Adirondack & Northern Railroad, Corp.

[Docket Number FRA-2001-9487]

    The Mohawk Adirondack & Northern Railroad (MHWA) seeks to add an 
additional locomotive, number LBR 1951, to two previously granted 
waiver numbers RSGM-92-4, Safety Glazing Standards and SA-92-2, Safety 
Appliance Standards. Waiver number RSGM-92-4 was granted for two 
locomotives, number LBR 1947 and LBR 1950, which were not equipped with 
FRA approved glazing as required in Safety Glazing Standards [49 CFR 
223.11]. Waiver number SA-92-02 was granted for two locomotives, number 
LBR 1947 and LBR 1950, which were not equipped with switching steps as 
required in the Safety Appliance Standards [49 CFR 231.30].
    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.
