[Docket Number FRA-2006-24647]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on September 3, 2021, the 
Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum (HVRM) petitioned the Federal Railroad 
Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from 
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained 
at 49 CFR part 219, Control of Alcohol and Drug Use. The relevant FRA 
Docket Number is FRA-2006-24647.
    Specifically, HVRM requests an extension of existing relief from 49 
CFR part 219, subpart E, Reasonable Cause Testing; subpart G, Random 
Alcohol and Drug Testing Programs; and subpart K, Referral Programs.\1\ 
HVRM is a volunteer-operated, non-profit operating railroad museum, 
located in North

Judson, Indiana. HVRM requests this extension due to its limited 
weekend operating schedule and Chesapeake & Indiana Railroad's (CKIN) 
weekday schedule. On those few occasions each year where local 
communities have festivals, HVRM and CKIN maintain communication 
regarding HVRM's operation times.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ By rule dated June 10, 2016 (81 FR 37894), portions of 49 
CFR part 219 were revised, which slightly changes the regulations 
from which HVRM now seeks relief versus relief sought in the past.
