Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2022–0010] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on January 28, 2022, the Western 

Maryland Scenic Railroad (WMSX) 

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) and 224 

(Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling 

Stock). FRA assigned the petition 

Docket Number FRA–2022–0010. 

Specifically, WMSX requested a 

special approval pursuant to 49 CFR 

215.203, Restricted cars, for a total of 6 

cars, comprised of 1 tank car (WMSX 

8959) and 5 coal hopper cars (WMSX 

806641, WMSX 823059, WMSX 823059, 

WMSX 834314, and WMSX 834623) 

that are or are approaching more than 50 

years from the date of original 

construction. WMSX also requests relief 

from 49 CFR 215.303, Stenciling of 

restricted cars, and 224.101, General 

requirements. WMSX seeks to operate 

the cars as historic artifacts in 

conjunction with, but not on, tourist 

and excursion trains. In support of its 

request, WMSX states that the relief 

would enable the cars to maintain 

historic integrity and that the cars 

would not exceed 10 miles per hour and 

not be interchanged. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov. 

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 and a 

public hearing, 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 and may be

instructions for submitting comments. 

Communications received by April 4, 

2022 will be considered by FRA before 

final action is taken. Comments received 

after that date will be considered if 

practicable. Anyone can search the 

electronic form of any written 

communications and comments 

received into any of our dockets by the

BILLING CODE 4910–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2022–0009] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on January 26, 2022, Cuyahoga 

Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR 240.201, 

Implementation. FRA assigned the 

petition Docket Number FRA–2022– 

0009. 

Specifically, CVSR requests relief 

from § 240.201(d), which requires that 

only certified persons operate 

locomotives and trains. The relief would 

allow noncertified persons to pay a fee 

and operate a locomotive as part of a 

visitor experience program. CVSR states 

that this program would support the 

organization’s mission to provide 

educational, recreational, and heritage 

railroad experiences. In support of its 

petition, CVSR notes that the relief 

would only apply to persons 

participating in the program, and that 

participants would be 18 years of age or 

older and under the direct supervision 

of a certified and qualified locomotive 

engineer. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at
