United States Department of the

Interior

[Docket Number FRA–2001–9012]

The United States Department of the

Interior on behalf of Steam Town

National Historic Site seeks a waiver of

compliance with the Inspection and

Maintenance Standards for Steam

Locomotives, 49 CFR Part 230,

published November 17, 1999. Section

230.3(c) of the standards requires steam

locomotives having flue tubes replaced

prior to September 25, 1995, have a one

thousand four hundred seventy-two

service day inspection [49 CFR 230.17]

performed prior to being allowed to

operate under the requirements. The

Steam Town National Historic Site

seeks this waiver for one locomotive

number CP 2317, which had the flue

tubes replaced and was returned to

service in July of 1998. Steam Town

National Historic Site was unaware of

the requirement to file for special

consideration and failed to meet the cut

off filing date of January 18, 2001.

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

Petition Docket Number FRA–2001–

Long Island Rail Road

[Docket Number FRA–2000–8588]

Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) seeks a

waiver of compliance with the Safety

Appliance Safety Standards, 49 CFR

part 231.14, which requires that sill

steps be mounted utilizing mechanical

fasteners. They request that the waiver

be granted for one hundred twenty-one

bi-level passenger coaches and twentythree bi-level control car locomotives

manufactured by Kawasaki. The waiver,

if granted, would allow sill steps located

at the four corners and two located on

each side of the equipment, at the side

door locations, to be mechanical

fastened to a bracket that is welded to

a tubular side sill. The railroad states

that the equipment is a center sill-less

design and is supported by two tubular

side sills and to mechanically fasten the

step to the car would require drilling the

sill which would weaken it.

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
