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) has
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.
Ashtabula, Carson & Jefferson Railroad
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2009–
0089]
The Ashtabula, Carson & Jefferson
Railroad (ACJR) of Jefferson City, Ohio,
has petitioned for a permanent waiver of
compliance for one locomotive (ACJR
7371) from the requirements of the
Railroad Safety Glazing Standards, Title
49 CFR Part 223, which require certified
glazing in all windows. The locomotive
is equipped with Plexiglas-type safety
glazing that is in good condition, clear
and un-scratched.
ACJR operates over 6.3 miles of track
running from the industrial area of an
Ohio village through level farm lands
and wooded areas to its interchange,
which is also located in a rural area at
speeds not exceeding ten miles per
hour. ACJR states that there has been no
instance of vandalism in 25 years of its
operations. ACJR further states that the
expense of retrofitting the locomotive to
comply with FRA Safety Glazing
Standards would impose an undue
financial burden that ACJR cannot bear
at this time. 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
