Federal Railroad Administration
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.
The Indiana Rail Road Company
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2007-29280]
The Indiana Rail Road Company (INRD) seeks a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Sanitation General Requirements, 49 CFR
Section 229.137(a), which requires a compliant sanitation compartment
for all lead locomotives. INRD states that the two locomotives that
this waiver is being sought for will never operate in a consist alone
as a lead locomotive. When in operation, the two specific locomotives,
INRD 3801 and INRD 36, will always have a companion locomotive with a
fully operational and compliant cab sanitation compartment for the
operating crews use.
