[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 143 (Thursday, July 27, 2017)] [Notices] [Pages 35052-35053] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-15790] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA-2017-0059] Petition for Waiver of Compliance Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides the public notice that on June 27, 2017 the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society Inc. (SBRHS) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and Maintenance Standards. FRA assigned the petition docket number FRA-2017-0059. SBRHS maintains and operates No. 3751, a 4-8-4 ``Northern'' type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1927 for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. SBRHS requests relief from performing the 1472 service day inspection (SDI), for No. 3751, as it pertains to the inspection of the boiler every 15 calendar years or 1472 service days under 49 CFR 230.17--One thousand four hundred seventy-two (1472) service day inspection. SBRHS is requesting an additional 139 calendar days before performing a 1472 SDI. The previous SDI was performed on August 14, 2002. Granting relief will allow No. 3751 an [[Page 35053]] SDI period of 15 calendar years and 139 calendar days while not exceeding 1472 service days. SBRHS sporadically operates No. 3751 for display in the Los Angeles area as well as excursions to San Diego and San Bernardino, CA and Williams, AZ. SBRHS's justification for requesting relief is that No. 3751 has only operated for a total of 141 service days within the 15- calendar year period. SBRHS anticipates approximately 10 additional service days for the locomotive during the requested time extension. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov and in person at the Department of Transportation's Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590.
