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) received a request for a waiver of compliance with 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.
Hiwassee River Railroad Co.
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2001-21181]
The Hiwassee River Railroad Co. (HRRC), seeks a waiver of compliance from Certain provisions of the Safety Glazing Standards, title 49, CFR 223.11, Requirements for Existing Locomotives for one locomotive. The HRRC is located in Copperhill, TN. The HRRC states that they operate a non-common carrier between Copperhill, TN and Etowah, TN. Locomotive Number 108 will operate almost exclusively within yard and industrial plant at Copperhill, TN.
The HRRC claims that locomotive 108 is presently equipped with shatterproof glazing, similar to FRA glazing, of the type used before 49 CFR 223.11 was in effect.
Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments.
