[Docket Number FRA-2008-0133]


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on February 14, 2020, 
Burlington Junction Railway (BJRY) petitioned the Federal Railroad 
Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from 
the glazing requirements in 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing 
locomotives, for locomotive BJRY 8711. BJRY indicates that installing 
FRA-required glazing remains cost-prohibitive and notes one incident 
from the City of Rochelle, Illinois, with no criminal damage to the 
property. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2008-0133.
    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

SE, W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is 
open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings

scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since

desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they 
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and 
specify the basis for their request.
