FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2013– 0009. Located in South Dakota, BHC is a privately owned railroad that has operated on 10 miles of scenic right-ofway between Hill City and Keystone since 1957. The line was originally a branch off of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad’s ‘‘Highline,’’ constructed in 1900, that operated from Edgemont to Deadwood. BHC presently operates as a seasonal, tourist operation and no longer operates as part of the general railroad system of transportation. BHC currently has three oil-burning, Baldwin steam locomotives; one EMD E:\FR\FM\12APN1.SGM 12APN1 mstockstill on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 22026 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 71 / Friday, April 12, 2013 / Notices GP9; and a Whitcomb center cab switch engine in service. BHC requests a waiver for Locomotive BHC 7 (BHC 7), a 2–6– 2 tender-type steam locomotive built in 1919. The locomotive originally burned coal but was converted to oil in 1923. It operates at 190 psi boiler pressure. BHC 7 is non-super-heated; consequently, it is not operated on a regular basis due to its fuel consumption. It has accumulated 29 days of service since the last flexible staybolt and cap inspection in March 2008. The current 1472 service-day inspection (SDI) expires in April 2015. BHC requests relief from 49 CFR 230.16(a)(2), with respect to flexible staybolt and cap inspection and 49 CFR 230.41, Flexible staybolts with caps. BHC requests an additional 2 years to the prescribed 5-year period to perform the flexible staybolt and cap inspection, thereby extending the inspection period to a total of 7 years. BHC will perform the annual inspection pursuant to 49 CFR 230.16. Granting the waiver would allow BHC 7 to undergo an annual inspection without the added burden of removing the locomotive cab, boiler jacketing, and attendant insulation, which is required for the flexible staybolt and cap inspection. Additionally, the flexible staybolt and cap inspection would coincide with the next 1472 SDI. BHC believes that due to the limited days of service for BHC 7, the railroad’s high standard of safety would not be compromised. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, Washington, DC 20590.

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 an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for their request.
