    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration

requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is

Morehead and South Fork Railroad

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2006-25520]

    The Morehead and South Fork Railroad (MSF) has petitioned for a 
temporary waiver of compliance from the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 
21103(a), the Federal Hours of Service law (HSL). This provision 
requires the railroad to neither require nor allow train employees to 
begin or remain on duty in excess of 12 hours in a 24-hour period 
without receiving the appropriate 8- or 10-hour statutory off-duty 
period. However, the HSL contains a provision (in 49 U.S.C. 21102(a)) 
permitting a railroad that employs not more than 15 employees subject 
to the statute, to seek an exemption from the 12-hour limitation. The 
MSF states that it is the railroad's intent to use such a waiver only 
in emergency situations and not on a daily basis.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings 
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate 
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since 
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party 
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA in 
writing before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for 
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the 
appropriate docket number (Docket Number FRA-2006-25520) and must be 
submitted to the Docket Clerk, DOT Central Docket Management Facility, 
Room PL-401 (Plaza Level), 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-
0001. Communications received within 30 days of the date of this notice 
will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments
