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.
Genesis Worldwide Logistics
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0008]
The Genesis Worldwide Logistics (GWWL) has petitioned FRA for a
waiver of compliance from the requirements of 49 CFR 223.11, ``Safety
Glazing Standards for Locomotives,'' and 49 CFR 231.30, ``Locomotives
used in Switching Service.'' GWWL is in the business of providing in-
plant switching services for a warehousing and packaging distribution
business located in Houston, Texas. The efficiency and safety of their
in-plant operation is dependent on their use of the ``Stewart-Stevenson
SS-4650 RailKing.'' GWWL reports that this is a most technologically
up-to-date self-propelled vehicle designed for the movement of rail
cars. The switching and interchange operations of GWWL are limited to
movement on tracks at speeds of less than 10 mph on ``other-than-main-
track'' and on their own leased track from the Union Pacific. The
approval of this request would allow for ``compliant use'' of the
SS4650 RailKing for these operations.
Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-
2010-0008) and may be submitted by any of the following methods:
