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) has 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.

Illinois Railway Museum

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2011-0017]

    The Illinois Railway Museum (IRYM) seeks a waiver of compliance 
with the Steam Locomotive Inspection and Maintenance Standards, 49 CFR 
230.17, as they pertain to the requirement for 1,472 service day 
inspection for steam locomotive number 1630. Locomotive number 1630's 
1,472 day inspection is due to expire in July, 2011, and IRYM requests 
the locomotive be allowed to continue in service until July, 2016, or 
after 1,472 service days, whichever is earlier. Alternately, IRYM 
requests an extension through October, 2011. IRYM is not requesting 
waiver of any other inspection requirements, and is specifically not 
requesting extension of the requirement to conduct the Sec.  230.17 
inspection after 1,472 service days.
    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.
