    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

The Minnesota Transportation Museum, Inc.

[Docket Number FRA-2001-10213]

    The Minnesota Transportation Museum, Inc, of St. Paul, MN, has 
petitioned for a waiver of compliance for one locomotive identified as 
``Anderson Windows 3110'' from the requirements of the Safety Glazing 
Standards-Locomotive, 49 CFR Part 223.11, which requires that other 
then yard locomotives, locomotives manufactured prior to July 1, 1980, 
must be equipped with certified glazing in all locations of cab 
windows. The subject locomotive is reported to be a Electro-Motive 
Division SW-1 built in 1949. The locomotive is used in tourist service 
over the Wisconsin Central and the Union Pacific Railroad in rural 
east-central Minnesota and north-west Wisconsin.
    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.
