[Docket Number FRA-2013-0066]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document 
dated June 10, 2013, the Age of Steam Roundhouse (AOSR) has petitioned 
the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance 
from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations 
contained at 49 CFR part 230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and 
Maintenance Standards. AOSR owns and operates No. 1293, a 4-6-2 Pacific 
class steam locomotive built in 1948 by the Canadian Locomotive Works 
for the Canadian Pacific Railway. No. 1293 is operated periodically for 
special trains on the Ohio Central Railroad. FRA assigned the petition 
Docket Number FRA-2013-0066.
    AOSR is requesting an extension not to exceed 92 days in order to 
perform the annual inspection required by 49 CFR 230.16, Annual 
inspection. The annual inspection for No. 1293 is typically performed 
in early September as determined by the 1,472 service-day inspection, 
completed on September 1, 2000. AOSR requests relief to perform the 
annual inspection no later than December 31, 2013, which allows the 
locomotive to operate throughout the fall and winter without removing 
it from service.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
