FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2021–0024. Specifically, SAN seeks relief from the requirements of 49 CFR 237.31, Adoption of bridge management programs. SAN’s requested relief would include continuing the use of a scale inspector rather than a railroad bridge inspector for annual bridge inspections. SAN owns and operates 35 miles of track and has one railroad bridge, which is a weigh-in-motion scale with a maximum authorized speed of 6 miles per hour. The scale provides accurate weights for customers using SAN’s sidings and for Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) to ensure it does not exceed weight restrictions for its intended routes or railcar weight limits. No railcars containing hazardous materials operate over the scale. SAN claims the scale was designed to meet American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association, Association of American Railroads, and Cooper E–80 design specifications. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:48 Feb 19, 2021 Jkt 253001 SAN states that an NS railroad scale inspector inspects the scale annually and provides a report that details any structural deficiencies found that could jeopardize the safety of the scale. SAN believes that its current method of inspection, which has been in place for twenty years, provides a more knowledgeable and less costly inspection than would be required by 49 CFR part 237.
