Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Notices
(FRA) for a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at
49 CFR parts 215 (Railroad Freight Car
Safety Standards) and 224
(Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling
Stock). FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2024–0018.
Specifically, NNRX requests a special
approval pursuant to 49 CFR 215.203,
Restricted cars, for 1 car (caboose NNRX
6) that is more than 50 years from the
date of original construction. NNRX also
seeks relief from § 215.303, Stenciling of
restricted cars, and § 224.101, General
requirements, to operate the car in
tourist/excursion service. In support of
its request, NNRX states that the car will
also be used in occasional tourist
photographic events. NNRX explains
the relief will ‘‘maintain the historic
integrity of this [non-insular tourist]
railroad’’ and that ‘‘the car always
remains on [NNRX] track.’’ Further, the
car will be operated at speeds ‘‘not
exceeding 25 [miles per hour], with
light tonnage (if any).’’
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at

the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
