[Docket Number FRA-2007-0007]

Petition for Expansion of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on July 9, 2020, SMS Rail 
Service (SLRS) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to 
expand a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal 
railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 223 (Safety 
Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars and Cabooses). The 
relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2007-0007.
    Specifically, SLRS requests to expand its existing relief from 49 
CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing locomotives, for locomotive SLRS 
308, which is currently operated within the Pureland Industrial Park in 
Bridgeport, New Jersey. SLRS requests to expand the service area to 
include Penn Warner Industrial Park in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. In 
support of its request, SLRS states that neither area has a history of 
vandalism or broken glass, nor overhead bridges or tunnels. 
Additionally, SLRS notes that track speeds are restricted speed not 
exceeding 10 miles per hour.
    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 
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate 
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since

should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and 
specify the basis for their request.

considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic form of any 
written communications and comments received into any of our dockets by
