FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2021– 0044. Specifically, NS is requesting relief from 49 CFR 213.233(b)(3), and (c), which require track inspections to be conducted visually by railroad track inspectors at certain frequencies based on class of track. NS is petitioning to replace 49 CFR 213.233 visual track inspection requirements with a combination of automated and visual inspections. Proposed automated inspections would be performed by Track Geometry Measurement Systems three times per month, and visual inspections would be performed at least twice per month, for each track segment. In support of its petition, NS references data and analysis from its ongoing Track Inspection Test Program, Docket Number FRA–2019–0099. Through the three phases, NS notes that track geometry defects have a continued downward trend, indicating overall improvement in track quality. NS states that the relief would positively impact safety by increasing defect identification VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:58 May 11, 2021 Jkt 253001 and remediation, reduce employee exposure to potential hazards, and facilitate maintenance program planning.

For locomotive SCRM VC 2, SCRM requests to extend the period in which the 1472 service day inspection must be completed until November 21, 2021, which is the date at which the locomotive’s next annual inspection is due. At the end of the proposed extension period, SCRM VC 2 will have a total of less than 320 service days, which is less than 22% of the 1472 service day allowance. SCRM states that the extension would allow it to continue operating the locomotive for fundraising purposes and aligning the 1472 service day inspection with the annual inspection would potentially improve SCRM’s financial challenges due to less revenue in the previous year.

document provides the public notice that on March 6, 2021, the Southern 
California Railway Museum (SCRM) petitioned the Federal Railroad 
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions 
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 230.17, 
One thousand four hundred seventy-two (1472) service day inspection. 
FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2021-0050.
    For locomotive SCRM VC 2, SCRM requests to extend the period in 
which the 1472 service day inspection must be completed until November 
21, 2021, which is the date at which the locomotive's next annual 
inspection is due. At the end of the proposed extension period, SCRM VC 
2 will have a total of less than 320 service days, which is less than 
22% of the 1472 service day allowance. SCRM states that the extension 
would allow it to continue operating the locomotive for fundraising 
purposes and aligning the 1472 service day inspection with the annual 
inspection would potentially improve SCRM's financial challenges due to 
less revenue in the previous year.
