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.

Lake Shore Railway Association

[Docket Number FRA-2002-11530]

    The Lake Shore Railway Association (LSRX) seeks a waiver of 
compliance for locomotive number 13031, from the requirements of the 
Safety Glazing Standards, 49 CFR part 223, which requires certified 
glazing in all locomotive windows except those locomotives used in yard 
service and from the requirements of the Railroad Safety Appliance 
Standards, 49 CFR 231.30, which requires all locomotives used in 
switching service be equipped with four corner stairway openings and 
each stairway opening must be equipped with two vertical handholds. The 
waiver request is for a mid-cab locomotive built by General Electric in 
1941-1942 .
    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-
2002-11530) 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

after that date will be considered as far as practicable. All written
