[Docket Number FRA-1999-6072]

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 May 20, 2014, Lake Superior Railroad Museum (LSRM) petitioned the 
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for renewal of 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. FRA assigned the petition 
Docket Number FRA-1999-6072.
    LSRM seeks an extension of relief from the Safety Glazing Standards 
for operation of former Great Northern Railway Diesel Locomotive Number 
192, built by General Motors in 1946. LSRM seeks to operate this 
locomotive in excursion service with other antique rolling stock over 
26 miles of the North Shore Scenic Railroad and 1,500 feet of Canadian 
National Railway (former Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range) track between 
Duluth and Two Harbors, MN. As described in the previous waiver 
approval, the locomotive is equipped with a mix of FRA Type I and II 
glazing and other glazing identified as ``shatterproof.''
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
