[Docket Number FRA-2008-0028]


Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on October 31, 2022, Riverport 
Railroad, LLC (RVPR) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration 
(FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from certain 
provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 
CFR part 223 (Safety Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars and 
Cabooses). The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2008-0028.
    Specifically, RVPR requests relief from Sec.  223.11(a), 
Requirements for Existing Locomotives, for one locomotive, RVPR 4029, 
for operations not exceeding 10 miles per hour over a section of track 
on the former Department of Defense Savanna Army Depot. The 
installation is located in rural northwestern Illinois, with 80 percent 
of the adjoining land owned by RVPR and partially under private 
ownership. In support of its petition, RVPR states that the subject 
trackage is enclosed and there are no overhead structures or bridges 
from which objects could be thrown.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov.
    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 and a public hearing, 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 and may be submitted at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting 
comments.
    Communications received by January 23, 2023 will be considered by 
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date 
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic 
form of any written communications and comments received into any of 
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or 
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association, 
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S. 
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to 
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit, 
including any personal information the commenter provides, to
