Petition for Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2012–0972. 

Petitioner: Boeing Commercial 

Airplane Company. 

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 

§ 25.841(a)(2) and (a)(3) at Amendment 

87. 

Description of Relief Sought. The 

petitioner requests relief from cabin 

decompression requirements following 

an uncontained engine failure so the 

Model 787–9 airplanes would be able to 

operate above 40,000 ft altitude, where 

they are most efficient, thereby reducing 

fuel burn and producing lower 

emissions.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2012–0024] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

this document provides the public 

notice that by a document dated 

February 24, 2012, the Everett Railroad 

Company (EV) has petitioned the 

Federal Railroad Administration (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; 223–Safety Glazing 

Standards—Locomotives, Passengers 

Cars and Cabooses; and 224– 

Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling 

Stock. FRA assigned the petition docket 

number FRA–2012–0024. 

Specifically, EV seeks a waiver of 

compliance from the railroad freight car 

safety standards contained at 49 CFR 

215.303, which requires stenciling on 

restricted freight cars with a clearly 

legible letter ‘‘R’’ followed by the basis 

of the restriction. This request is made 

for a caboose (Car Number EV 91517). 

EV also requested Special Approval to 

continue in service the same cars in 

accordance with 49 CFR 215.203(c). The 

ages of these cars are more than 50 years 

from their original construction dates, 

and therefore, are restricted per 49 CFR 

215.203(a), unless EV receives a Special 

Approval from FRA. Additionally, EV 

requests a waiver from Part 223 for the 

glazing requirements and Part 224 for 

the reflectorization requirements. 

EV states that the subject car is 

restricted by age. It is retained primarily 

for use on excursion trains, historical 

and public relation events, along with 

possible, but very infrequent, use as a 

crew caboose or shoving platform. 

In order to preserve its historic 

appearance, EV requests a waiver from 

requirements for special stenciling and 

reflectorization. EV also stated that the 

requirement of FRA-certified glazing 

would be costly and difficult to install. 

In support of its request, EV stated 

that its operation is over a total of 

approximately 25 miles of track located 

entirely in Blair County, PA. The trains 

operate under restricted speed rules not 

exceeding 20 mph. The subject car is 

not, and will not be, interchanged with 

any other railroad. EV’s operating 

territory is generally rural in nature, and 

the car has been inspected and found to 

be safe to operate. 

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. The Docket 

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal Holidays. 

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
