                                the special permit to authorize removing unnecessary restrictions contained in
                                paragraph 7.b. safety control measures.
16463-N......................  Request by Salco Products Lemont, IL June 15, 2016. We would like to apply for a
                                special permit to approve for use 1-3 thread by thread
                                ball valves on tank cars produced by SW; Part numbers BWEV6666TTSE00100000,
                                BWEV6666TTSELK100000, BWEV6LH20, BWEV6666TTSE00200000, BWEV6666TTSELK200000,
                                BWEV6666TTSE00300000 and BWEV6666TTSE0030LKOO. These valves are currently on AAR
                                approval number E079023 but the facility producing them has inadvertently
                                allowed their facility certification to lapse. The facility is reapplying for
                                facility approval but due to the high demand on the AAR the re-approval will not
                                happen for an additional (6) months. Before the manufacturer realized the
                                facility certification had lapsed valves were sold and placed into service. We
                                are requesting a special permit to allow the continued use of the SVF valves
                                listed above until such time the AAR can approve the facility. The facility has
                                in place a current ISO 9001:2008 and an EC Certificate of Conformity
                                certification from Lloyd's Register in addition to several PED and EC approvals
                                as evidence of an in place quality system and its continued adherence. We do not
                                believe there is any increase in risk by allowing the continued use of these
                                valves based upon the evidence of an in place quality system and a review of the
                                quality performance associated with these valves. There are currently no known
                                open issues with the valves in service. The manufacturer of these valves has
                                been in business and providing these valves for use on tank cars for 20+ years.
                                There has been no change in manufacturing, materials or design. The special
                                permit is for the manufacturer to be applied to all shippers utilizing the above
                                listed valves.
