          - [Docket Number FRA-2012-0017]

                    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated February 7, 2012, the Savage Bingham and Garfield Railroad (SBG) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations                           ( print page 19412)                        contained at 49 CFR Section 229.23 (which requires a periodic inspection every 92 days) and 49 CFR Section 229.25 (which requires specific tests to be done at every periodic inspection).                

The SBG is asking for this testing interval to be extended to 184 days. SBG conducts rail switching operations for customers in the Midvale, UT, area. For this operation, SBG runs two locomotives for fewer hours than normal Class I railroads. This relief will help SBG to lower costs and thereby be able to pass those savings on to its customers. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2012-0017.

                    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at                     *www.regulations.gov*                     and in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590.
