[Docket Number FRA–2021–0008]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on January 1, 2021, The Everett
Railroad Company (EV) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR part
230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and
Maintenance Standards. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2021–
0008.
Specifically, EV requests relief from
49 CFR 230.16(a), Annual inspection, to
extend the annual inspection interval on
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
locomotive EV 11 until March 2022, and
49 CFR 230.17(a), One thousand four
hundred seventy-two (1472) service day
inspection, to extend the 1472-day
inspection to a 16-year interval. EV
states that the COVID–19 public health

service days in 2021.
EV 11 is currently stored inside a
shop building, and EV does not
