Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2012-0017]


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a 
document dated February 7, 2012, the Savage Bingham and Garfield 
Railroad (SBG) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 
for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal 
railroad safety regulations

[[Page 19412]]

contained at 49 CFR Section 229.23 (which requires a periodic 
inspection every 92 days) and 49 CFR Section 229.25 (which requires 
specific tests to be done at every periodic inspection).
    The SBG is asking for this testing interval to be extended to 184 
days. SBG conducts rail switching operations for customers in the 
Midvale, UT, area. For this operation, SBG runs two locomotives for 
fewer hours than normal Class I railroads. This relief will help SBG to 
lower costs and thereby be able to pass those savings on to its 
customers. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2012-0017.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey 
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
