Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws, 20633-20634 [05-7904]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 20, 2005 / Notices 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.
