This relief was originally granted in 1992 per Docket Number RSGM–91–31. The relief was granted for seven locomotives.

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a 
document dated December 6, 2010, Nimishillen and Tuscarawas Railway

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions 
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 
223. FRA has assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0176.
    NTRY seeks renewal of relief from the requirements of the railroad 
safety glazing standards (49 CFR part 223). This relief was originally 
granted in 1992 per Docket Number RSGM-91-31. The relief was granted 
for seven locomotives. NTRY's current petition requests a permanent 
waiver of compliance for six locomotives (numbered NTRY 1221, 1228, 
1285, and LTEX 1002, 1003, and 1004) from the requirements of 49 CFR 
part 223, which requires certified glazing in all windows.

maximum speed of these operations is 10 mph. Occupancy of the 
locomotive cabs is minimal during shift operations within the 
industrial facility. All existing glazing on these locomotives is

existing glazing with FRA-certified glazing will put a severe hardship 
and financial burden on the railroad.
