Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for a Waiver of Compliance

In accordance with Title 49, Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR), sections

211.9 and 211.41, notice is hereby given

that the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) has received a

request for a waiver of compliance with

certain requirements of Federal railroad

safety regulations. The individual

petitions are described below, including

the party seeking relief, the regulatory

provisions involved, the nature of the

relief being requested and the

petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief.

Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum

[Docket Number FRA–2001–8888]

Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum

(TVRM) seeks to renew a waiver from

compliance with 49 CFR Part

240.201(d), which was originally

granted and became effective on

November 19, 1993, for a period of one

year. Specifically, the original waiver

allowed TVRM to operate without

complying with the requirement of 49

CFR Part 240.201(d), which provides

that only certified persons may operate

trains or locomotives. The waiver affects

only persons who participate in the

engineer charter ‘‘Engineer for a Day’’

program. The TVRM plans to conduct

this program on its own trackage from

Mile Post No. 0.00 East Chattanooga

Depot to Mile Post No. 3.0 Grand

Junction Depot, a distance of three

miles. Individuals participating in the

program would be allowed to operate

the train and experience the hands-on

duties of a locomotive engineer.

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

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver

Petition Docket No. FRA–2001–8888)

and must be submitted to the Docket

Clerk, DOT Central Docket Management

Facility, Room PL–401, Nassif Building,

400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington,

D.C. 20590. Communications received

within 45 days of the date of the notice

will be considered by FRA before final

action is taken. Comments received after

that date will be considered as far as

practicable. All written communications

concerning these proceedings are

available for examination during regular

business hours at the above address. All

written communications are also

accessible on the Internet at http://
