(FGLK) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to seek an extension of an existing waiver of compliance from certain provisions contained at 49 CFR Part 223–Safety Glazing Standards– Locomotives, Passenger Cars and Cabooses for six cars. The car numbers of those six cars are: FGLK 7201, FGLK PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Total annual burden hours 7202, FGLK 7601, FGLK7602, FGLK 1642, and FGLK 1643. In support of an extension of the existing waiver, the FGLK petition states that the cars subject to this request are in all aspects still operating in the same service environment with no changes to speed or line segments. FGLK is following the conditions stipulated in the existing waiver. FGLK states that glass replacement continues to be an extremely high cost for an excursion operation and would jeopardize any chance of profitability for such operation for quite some time. Additionally, the frequency of excursion services offered by FGLK has decreased by nearly 75 percent in the past 2 years as freight movements have taken precedence. This would further hamper the ability to justify any costs associated with replacing noncompliant window glass with Part 223-compliant glazing. Since the last waiver request was granted by FRA, FGLK replaced 22 pieces of noncompliant glass in 2009 at a cost of nearly $9,000.

FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2002– 11669. SIND has petitioned for a permanent waiver of compliance for two locomotives, SIND 103 and SIND 104, from the requirements of 49 CFR 223.11—Requirements for existing locomotives, which requires FRA Type I material in the forward and rearward end-facing glazing locations of the locomotive cab windshields as well as FRA Type II material in all side-facing windows of the locomotive cabs. Each locomotive is a Model S–3, built by the American Locomotive Company in 1950. Both locomotives were rebuilt in 1988. SIND states that it operates one train per day, over a 5-mile-long single track through mostly rural or lightly populated areas, to interchange with CSX Transportation and the Louisville and Indiana Railway for inbounds and outbounds. SIND further states that it has never had any employee injuries caused by broken locomotive glass. SIND describes the current glazing as single-pane safety plate glass in good condition. SIND is requesting this relief on account of the absence of history of any previous glazing-related accidents or injuries.

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document 
dated November 1, 2012, the Finger Lakes Railway Corp. (FGLK) has 
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to seek an 
extension of an existing waiver of compliance from certain provisions 
contained at 49 CFR Part 223-Safety Glazing Standards-Locomotives, 
Passenger Cars and Cabooses for six cars. The car numbers of those six 
cars are: FGLK 7201, FGLK 7202, FGLK 7601, FGLK7602, FGLK 1642, and 
FGLK 1643.
    In support of an extension of the existing waiver, the FGLK 
petition states that the cars subject to this request are in all 
aspects still operating in the same service environment with no changes 
to speed or line segments. FGLK is following the conditions stipulated 
in the existing waiver. FGLK states that glass replacement continues to 
be an extremely high cost for an excursion operation and would 
jeopardize any chance of profitability for such operation for quite 
some time.
    Additionally, the frequency of excursion services offered by FGLK 
has decreased by nearly 75 percent in the past 2 years as freight 
movements have taken precedence. This would further hamper the ability 
to justify any costs associated with replacing noncompliant window 
glass with Part 223-compliant glazing. Since the last waiver request 
was granted by FRA, FGLK replaced 22 pieces of noncompliant glass in 
2009 at a cost of nearly $9,000.
