Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2015-0056]


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document 
dated May 30, 2015, the Maine Yacht Center, LLC (MYC) has petitioned 
the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance 
from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations 
contained at 49 CFR part 215-Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards. FRA 
assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2015-0056.
    In an effort to increase business, MYC wants to build a self-
propelled carrier, for boats 30 to 40 or more feet in length, that will 
travel one-half mile over the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad from a 
waterfront facility to a storage facility. The limiting factor for 
over-the-road movement of boats is a fixed bridge height of 14 feet. 
Using rail would allow MYC to move larger boats using a route with a 
fixed bridge height of 18 feet.
    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 
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
