14930 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).’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The decommissioning and disposition

of the NSS is an Undertaking under 

section 106 of the NHPA. Section 106 

requires that Federal agencies consider 

views of the public regarding their 

Undertakings; therefore, in 2020, 

MARAD established a Federal docket at 

https://www.regulations.gov/docket/ 

MARAD-2020-0133 to provide public 

notice about the NSS Undertaking. The 

Federal docket was also used in 2021 to 

solicit public comments on the future 

uses of the NSS. MARAD is continuing 

to use this same docket to take in public 

comment, share information, and post 

agency actions. 

The NHPA Programmatic Agreement 

(PA) for the Decommissioning and 

Disposition of the NSS is available on 

the MARAD docket located at 

www.regulations.gov under docket id 

‘‘MARAD–2020–0133.’’ The PA 

stipulates a deliberative process by 

which MARAD will consider the 

disposition of the NSS. This process 

requires MARAD to make an 

affirmative, good-faith effort to preserve 

the NSS. The PA also establishes the 

PRG in Stipulation II. The PRG is the 

mechanism for continuing consultation 

during the effective period of the PA 

and its members consist of the 

signatories and concurring parties to the 

PA, as well as other consulting parties. 

The PRG members will provide 

individual input and guidance to 

MARAD regarding the implementation 

of stipulations in the PA. PRG members 

and members of the public are invited 

to provide input by attending bimonthly meetings and reviewing and 

commenting on deliverables developed 

as part of the PA. 

II. Agenda

The agenda will include (1) welcome

and introductions; (2) program update; 

(3) status of PA stipulations; (4) other

business; and (5) date of next meeting.

The agenda topic titled PA stipulations

involves deliverables identified in the

PA. MARAD will provide status updates

for the following items: the Disposition

Alternatives Study; the Notice of

Availability/Request for Information;

and the License Termination Plan. The

agenda will also be posted on MARAD’s

website at https://

www.maritime.dot.gov/outreach/

history/maritime-administrationhistory-program and on the MARAD

docket located at www.regulations.gov

under docket id ‘‘MARAD–2020–0133.’’
