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) has 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.
Copper Basin Railway, Inc.
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0025]
The Copper Basin Railway, Inc. (CBR) seeks a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards,
49 CFR 215.303, which requires stenciling of restricted cars. CBR owns
46 open top hopper cars that were built in 1958, and are restricted by
the provision of 49 CFR 215.203(a). CBR is seeking special approval to
continue to use these cars under proceeding according to 49 CFR
215.203(b).
This request is for 46 open top hopper cars. The car numbers and
the pertinent information in support of the petition are contained in
the docket. CBR claims that these cars are captive ore cars used to
haul ore from the mine at Ray Mine yard, in Ray, Arizona, to the Hayden
smelter yard in Hayden, Arizona, in a local unit train with like kind
ore cars never used with HAZMAT or other cars. These cars will not
interchange with other railroads.
Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings

scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
