SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act of 2000 (NPATMA), 

enacted on April 5, 2000, as Public Law 

106–181, required the establishment of 

the NPOAG within one year after its 

enactment. The Act requires that the 

NPOAG be a balanced group of 

representatives of general aviation, 

commercial air tour operations, 

environmental concerns, and Native 

American tribes. The Administrator of 

the FAA and the Director of NPS (or 

their designees) serve as ex officio 

members of the group. Representatives 

of the Administrator and Director serve 

alternating 1-year terms as chairman of 

the advisory group. 

The duties of the NPOAG include 

providing advice, information, and 

recommendations to the FAA 

Administrator and the NPS Director on: 

Implementation of Public Law 106–181; 

quiet aircraft technology; other 

measures that might accommodate 

interests to visitors of national parks; 

and at the request of the Administrator 

and the Director, on safety, 

environmental, and other issues related 

to commercial air tour operations over 

national parks or tribal lands. 

Agenda for the November 30–December 

1, 2010 NPOAG Meeting 

The agenda for the meeting will 

include, but is not limited to, final 

adoption of a Strategic Plan, update on 

ongoing Air Tour Management Program 

projects; and a discussion on the 

competitive bidding process. 

Attendance at the Meetings 

Although these are not public 

meetings, interested persons may 

attend. Because seating is limited, if you

BILLING CODE 4910–13–M 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

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. 

Virginia & Truckee Railroad 

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0093] 

The Virginia & Truckee Railroad 

(V&T) petitioned FRA for relief from the 

requirements of 49 CFR 215.203 

Restricted Cars, for five pieces of freight 

equipment used in tourist/excursion 

service and the associated stenciling as 

required under 49 CFR 215.303. 

V&T is a tourist, excursion, or 

educational railroad operating between 

Virginia City and Carson City via Gold 

Hill, Nevada. The railroad was relayed 

after having been removed at the 

conclusion of commercial operations. 

The railroad operates an average of 

seven round trips between Virginia City 

and Gold Hill Depot, NV, per day, May 

through October. They also operate 

three trains between Carson City to 

Virginia City, NV, Saturday & Sunday 

May through October, with special 

trains scheduled in November. The 

maximum operating speed for the entire 

railroad is 20 mph. 

All of the freight equipment 

referenced in the petition is operated by 

V&T on a non-insular, not part of the 

general system of transportation 

railroad. The railroad line is not 

connected to the general system at 

either end, but has public highway 

crossings at grade. This Special 

Approval shall apply only to the 

following five cars: V&T 50, V&T 55, 

V&T 54, V&T 123, and V&T MW 124, 

owned and operated by V&T. A 

consolidated list of the equipment and 

the prohibited components was 

provided as an attachment to their 

petition. 

These freight cars were either 

converted to passenger excursion cars, 

or used in conjunction with their 

tourist/excursion operation, none carry 

freight. Some of the equipment is used 

for photographic subjects in an 

educational setting to depict the type of 

freight trains that would have operated 

in the era during mining operations. 

Therefore, stenciling the required 

information on the equipment would 

not be consistent with the educational 

setting that the railroad strives to depict. 

Therefore, the railroad seeks relief from 

the requirements to stencil the 

equipment indicating the restricted 

components. There have been no 

derailments or other safety issues with 

the operation of the equipment, nor 

their prohibited components. As stated 

by V&T, loss of use of this equipment 

would cause the railroad to cease 

operations. 

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 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request. 

All communications concerning these 

proceedings should identify the 

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver 

Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0093) and may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

Communications received within 45 

days of the date of this notice will be

date will be considered as far as 

practicable. All written communications 

concerning these proceedings are
