VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations.
FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2013–0010.
Specifically, CLCY has petitioned for
a waiver of compliance from the
requirements of: 49 CFR Sections
223.11, Requirements for existing
locomotives; 231.30, Locomotives used
in switching service; 229.47, Emergency
brake valve; 229.115, Slip/slide alarms;
229.125, Headlights and auxiliary lights;
224.105, Sheeting dimensions and
quantity; 224.106, Location of
retroreflective sheeting; 229.129,
Locomotive horn; 229.131, Sanders; and
229.135, Event recorders. CLCY seeks
this waiver for its 5TM track mobile,
CLCY 106. CLCY employs the track
mobile for yard and industry switching,
which is confined to CLCY’s tracks
within the J. Emil Anderson & Son, Inc.
Industrial Park, located in Melrose Park,
Cook County, IL. CLCY operates on 1.06
miles of track and 431 feet of siding. It
interchanges railcars with the Indiana
Harbor Belt Railroad on a transfer track
that is west of Mannheim Road. CLCY
is the sole rail operator on this line and
provides rail service to two shippers.
The 5TM track mobile switches, shoves,
and pulls all railcars with their train air
brakes cut in to maintain control of all
switching movements. The track mobile
will always operate at speeds not to
exceed 10 mph. CLCY will not use a
locomotive for these switching
operations.

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)

Rail Transit Systems, 65 FR 42626 (July
10, 2000).) FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2002–11809.
NCTD operates its SPRINTER light
rail transit system (SPRINTER) between
Oceanside and Escondido, CA. On June
24, 2003, FRA issued the initial waiver
that granted NCTD conditional relief
from certain Federal railroad safety
regulations, provided that NCTD
maintains temporal separation on track
that is shared between SPRINTER and
freight railroads so that each would
operate at separate and distinct portions
of the day and would not operate on the
shared track at the same time. Since
2003, NCTD has requested and been
granted additional relief from FRA.
NCTD’s SPRINTER also falls under
the safety oversight of the California
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as
authorized by the Federal Transit
Administration.
NCTD’s requested modification to its
existing Shared Use waiver seeks relief
from the hours of service requirements
for its light rail transit (LRT) operators.
In its petition, NCDT states that
SPRINTER operates with an engineeronly train crew. Additionally, NCTD’s
operator training and qualification
program for SPRINTER is approved and
monitored by the CPUC. NCTD’s
program complies with CPUC’s General
Order 143–B, Section 12.04, which
provides that LRT systems shall not
allow any safety sensitive employees to
remain on duty for more than 12
consecutive hours or more than an
aggregate of 12 hours distributed over a
period of 16 hours. Finally, NCTD states
that the dispatch and signal employees
for SPRINTER will continue to meet all
of the requirements of 49 CFR Part 228.

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
February 22, 2011, the Little Kanawha
River Railroad (LKRR), a division of
Marietta Industrial Enterprises, Inc., has
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension
of a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations regarding safety glazing
contained at 49 CFR Part 223. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2001–9717.
LKRR seeks to extend a waiver of
compliance for one locomotive,

Electro-Motive Division Model SW–

Section 223.11, Requirements for
existing locomotives. FRA issued the
initial waiver that granted LKRR relief
on May 20, 2002, and FRA extended the
waiver on August 7, 2006.
The current glazing that is installed in
the locomotive has no identifying
marks. LKRR states that it operates on
1.75 miles of level track at speeds not
exceeding 10 mph, as a yard-type
system. LKRR interchanges directly
with the CSX Corporation (CSX), and it
is a shortline operation that only moves
CSX cars for loading and unloading.
LKRR states that it operates in a secure
area and there have been no known
incidents of broken windows as a result
of vandalism and, therefore, no resulting
worker injuries have occurred due to
broken glass from the locomotive’s
windows. LKRR is requesting an
extension of relief on account of the
prohibitive cost involved in retrofitting
the locomotive with certified glazing.

written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
