Federal Railroad Administration
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:47 Jun 13, 2006
Jkt 208001
a request for a waiver of compliance
from certain requirements of its safety
regulations. 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.
Minnesota Transportation Museum, Inc
[Docket Number FRA–2006–24774]
The Minnesota Transportation
Museum (MTM) seeks a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
49 CFR part 232, Brake System Safety
Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment.
Specifically, § 232 Appendix B, part
232, prior to May 31, 2001,
§ 232.17(b)(2) for passenger car
maintenance requirements.
MTM is a non-profit corporation that
operates a historical and excursion train
as the Osceola and St. Croix Valley
Railway between Dresser, Wisconsin
and Withrow, Minnesota, a distance of
25 miles, over Canadian National track.
Operation of this train is from mid-April
to the end of October on Thursdays,
Saturdays and Sundays, for a total of
approximately 70 operating days. MTM
currently operates one passenger coach
equipped with LN type brakes that
requires a clean, oil, test and stencil
(COT&S) every 12 months, as prescribed
in the Manual of Standards and
Recommended Practices of the
Association of American Railroads, S–
045, last published in 1984. MTM is
requesting that a waiver be granted to
extend the COT&S time period from 12
months to 24 months. This would give
MTM the ability to operate for two
operating seasons between COT&S
events, which would also provide a
savings of $244 per year in COT&S costs
for this non-profit organization.
MTM declares that safety will not be
compromised if this waiver is granted,
based on their 15+ years of experience
with the LN type brake. MTM states that
previous COT&S events have found the
lubricant to be fresh with no detectable
signs of deterioration. MTM also notes
that since the LN brake was developed
in the 1920’s, there has been
considerable improvement in lubricant
quality and considerable improvement
in all of the flexible gasket and ‘‘O’’ ring
type materials that makes up the LN
Brake.
Interested parties are invited to
submit written comments to FRA. All
written communications concerning this
petition should identify the appropriate
docket number (e.g., Docket Number
FRA–2006–24774) and must be
submitted in triplicate to the Associate

Railroad Administration, 400 7th Street,

Comments received within 45 days of
the date of this notice will be
considered by FRA before any final
action is taken. Although FRA does not
anticipate scheduling a public hearing
in connection with these proceedings, if
any interested party desires an
opportunity for oral comment, they
