Conclusion
The Agency has not received any
adverse evidence on any of these drivers
that indicates that safety is being
compromised. Based upon its
evaluation of the 13 renewal
applications, FMCSA renews the
Federal vision exemptions for Roy L.
Allen, Lyle H. Banser, Lloyd J. Botsford,
Walter M. Brown, Charley J. Davis, Paul
D. Gaither, Thomas R. Hedden, Sergio
A. Hernandez, Lucio Leal, Earl R. Mark,
Michael R. Moore, Richard W. Neyens,
and Bill L. Pearcy.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, each renewal exemption will
be valid for 2 years unless revoked
earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if: (1)
The person fails to comply with the
terms and conditions of the exemption;
(2) the exemption has resulted in a
lower level of safety than was
maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would
not be consistent with the goals and
objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.
Issued on: June 4, 2008.

Associate Administrator for Policy and
Program Development.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
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
a request for a waiver of compliance
from certain requirements of its safety
standards. 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.
Mid-Continent Railway Historical
Society, Inc.
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
[Docket Number FRA–2006–26300]
On March 15, 2007, FRA granted a
waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the safety glazing
standards, as prescribed by 49 CFR
Section 223.11, Requirements for
existing locomotives, to the MidContinent Railway Historical Society,
Inc. (MCRY) for diesel-electric
Locomotive Number 1256. Condition
Number 1 of the above-referenced
approval letter states: ‘‘This approval of
the requirements of 49 CFR Section
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:13 Jun 10, 2008
Jkt 214001
223.11(c) shall apply to MCRY 1256
while operating on MCRY property at
speeds not exceeding 10 mph.’’ On
December 31, 2007, MCRY asked FRA
for reconsideration of Condition
Number 1 to allow an increase in
operating speed of the locomotive from
10 mph to 15 mph.
MCRY is a tourist railroad operating
over 4.2 miles of private rights-of-way in
rural Wisconsin, with a track speed of
15 mph. In addition, FRA previously
granted safety glazing waivers to MCRY
for two of their diesel locomotives with
maximum operating speeds of 15 mph.
The petitioner states that when more
than one train is operated at a time, it
places an undue hardship on them by
restricting the speed of Locomotive
Number 1256 to 10 mph. There have
been no reported accidents/injuries at
MCRY related to safety glazing, and the
change would make the conditions of
this waiver consistent with those of the
two previously granted. Pursuant to the
receipt of the waiver request, FRA is
hereby providing the public an
opportunity to comment on this waiver.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. All communications

public hearing in connection with these
proceedings since the facts do not
appear to warrant a hearing. If any

FRA, in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
