Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 14 / Monday, January 23, 2023 / Notices
Virginia City, Nevada, in a National
Historic District. Regarding the
locomotive’s 1472 service day
inspection, VTRR requests to extend the
period in which the inspection is due
from June 11, 2023, to December 31,
2023, by which time VTRR 29 will have
accumulated fewer than 1,200 service
days. In support of its request, VTRR
states that its railroad is insular, and the
relief will help VTRR ‘‘make up for lost
operating days due to the mandated
shut town of [the] business and the
detrimental effects of the pandemic to
[the] company and to [the] community.’’
VTRR adds that VTRR 29 received a
new dry pipe in 2021 during an
inspection of its boiler interior, and both
interior and exterior boiler inspections
were performed at each annual
inspection since 2008. VTRR also states
it ‘‘exercises complete control of the
operation, inspection, maintenance, and
repairs’’ of VTRR 29.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
