equipped with the suspect main
reservoir, and any attempt to do so
would require major modifications to
the mounting system. All suspect main
reservoirs can be identified by a name
plate attached to the skin of the tank.
The GETS has informed FRA that it
has contacted the affected railroads and
has provided them each a list of
locomotive road numbers and a gauge to
determine if the reservoir is
geometrically offset (out of round) and
seams misaligned, which may result in
high bending stresses that can lead to
weld failure. The GETS also published
a Field Maintenance Instruction number
24–15309 to assist the railroads in
performing the inspections, and
provided replacement reservoirs for
those failing to pass the gauge
inspection. Locomotives that have had
the main reservoir tanks inspected will
be identified as follows: a blue dot next
to the reservoir tank badge plate
indicates the tank has passed the test, a
red X indicates that the tank has failed
and must be replaced. The Association
of American Railroads is aware of this
safety issue and, in conjunction with its
member railroads, is planning to issue
an industry-wide ‘‘Early Warning’’ letter
in the near future.
Recommended Action: In recognition
of the need to assure safety, FRA
recommends that railroads operating
and owning GETS locomotives inspect
the main reservoir tanks of such
locomotives in service and any main
reservoirs in inventory to determine if
they were manufactured by R&R Metal
Fabricators, Incorporated, between 1988
and 1995. The FRA further recommends
that the railroads adhere to GETS’ Field
Maintenance Instruction number 24–
15309 when conducting its inspection
of any identified main reservoir tank. If
a railroad does not have GETS’ field
maintenance instruction or the required
gauging device, it should contact Mr.
Len Varan, GETS Product Manager, at
(814) 875–2769.
The FRA may modify this Safety
Advisory 2005–02, issue additional
safety advisories, or take other
appropriate action necessary to ensure
the highest level of safety on the
nation’s railroads.
Issued in Washington, DC on April 15,
2005.
Daniel C. Smith,
Associate Administrator for Safety.

Requested Administrative Waiver of

Maritime Administration,
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Invitation for public comments
on a requested administrative waiver of
the Coastwise Trade Laws for the vessel

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: As authorized by Pub. L. 105–

the issuance of the waiver will have an
unduly adverse effect on a U.S.-vessel
builder or a business that uses U.S.-flag
vessels in that business, a waiver will
not be granted. Comments should refer
to the docket number of this notice and
the vessel name in order for MARAD to
