Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society

    The Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society (BHRS) seeks a waiver of 
compliance from certain provisions of the Safety Glazing Standards, 49 
CFR 223.15, requirements for two passenger cars. These two cars were 
built by the Budd Company. One car was built in 1953 and the other was 
built in 1963. The BHRS is located in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The 
BHRS states they operate a tourist railroad.

scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since

their request.
