Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by letter dated May 17, 2022, Symans Enterprises (Symans) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 230.17, One thousand four hundred seventy-two (1472) service day inspection . FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2022-0057.
Specifically, Symans requests relief for steam locomotive VC 6, which is used in public tourist excursions. Regarding the locomotive's 1472 service day inspection, Symans requests to extend the period in which the inspection is due from July 7, 2022, to December 31, 2023. Symans states that the annual inspection of VC 6 was completed in October 2021, and the extension would allow Symans to recover from revenue losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In support of its request, Symans states that the locomotive has been stored inside and has operated without incident.
