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 from 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.

The Red River Valley & Western Railroad

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2004-17993]

    The Red River Valley & Western Railroad (RRVW) has petitioned FRA 
to grant a waiver of compliance from the Safety Glazing Standards of 49 
CFR part 223, for a change within an existing waiver, docket number 
noted above. The request is to allow Locomotive Number RRVW 1213 to 
service new business within an extended 25-mile radius of Breckenridge, 
MN. There has been no record of vandalism or any record of any 
accident/incident and/or injury to any railroad employee prior to the 
issuance of the present glazing waiver and up to present time. The 
track speed will remain the same and will not exceed 25 miles per hour. 
Most of the area is remote and not heavily populated.
    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-
2004-17993) and must be submitted to the Docket Clerk, DOT Docket 
Management Facility, Room PL-401 (Plaza Level), 400 7th Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20590. 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 site at http://dms.dot.gov.
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all comments

submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf 
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's
