[Docket Number FRA-2004-19999]

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 
received on January 18, 2013, the Fayette Central Railroad (FCRV) has 
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a an extension 
of a waiver of compliance in Docket Number FRA-2004-19999. FCRV seeks 
to extend a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal 
railroad safety regulations contained at Title 49 Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) Part 223, Safety Glazing Standards-Locomotives, 
Passenger Cars and Cabooses, which requires certified glazing in 
locomotive and caboose windows. FRA issued the initial waiver that 
granted FCRV relief on September 6, 2005, and FRA extended the waiver 
on June 12, 2008. The existing waiver will expire on June 11, 2013.
    Specifically, FCRV seeks to extend a waiver of compliance for two 
cabooses, Car Numbers PC 18086 (built in 1946) and P&LE 504 (built in 
1956), as well as one locomotive, Locomotive Number 9061 (built in 
1948).
    FCRV states that it operates in a rural area and does not operate 
through any intercity areas. Additionally, FCRV's operations are 
temporally separated from freight operations. There is no location or 
time where another train will be passing a FCRV train; therefore, there 
is no danger of a rock or debris being thrown up from a passing train. 
The maximum speed on the track over which FCRV operates is 15 mph. 
Finally, there have never been any incidents of people shooting at 
FCRV's trains.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
