[Docket Number FRA-2021-0050]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on March 6, 2021, the Southern 
California Railway Museum (SCRM) petitioned the Federal Railroad 
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions 
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 230.17, 
One thousand four hundred seventy-two (1472) service day inspection. 
FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2021-0050.
    For locomotive SCRM VC 2, SCRM requests to extend the period in 
which the 1472 service day inspection must be completed until November 
21, 2021, which is the date at which the locomotive's next annual 
inspection is due. At the end of the proposed extension period, SCRM VC 
2 will have a total of less than 320 service days, which is less than 
22% of the 1472 service day allowance. SCRM states that the extension 
would allow it to continue operating the locomotive for fundraising 
purposes and aligning the 1472 service day inspection with the annual 
inspection would potentially improve SCRM's financial challenges due to 
less revenue in the previous year.
    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
