Federal Railroad Administration


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration 
(FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain 
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is 
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory 
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the 
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

Grand Canyon Railway, Inc.

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0143]

    The Grand Canyon Railway, Inc. (GRCX) seeks a waiver of compliance 
with the Steam Locomotive Inspection and Maintenance Standards, 49 CFR 
230.16 and 230.17, as they pertain to the requirement for annual 
inspection and 1,472 service day inspection for steam locomotive number 
4960. Locomotive number 4960 inspections are due to expire on June 30, 
2011, and GRCX request the locomotive be allowed to continue in service 
until September 30, 2011, an additional 92 days. If granted, the 
locomotive would accrue an additional 10 service days and would receive 
all required inspections after the September 30, 2011, date.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings 
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate 
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since

their request.
