Sec.  230.6  Waivers.



    (a) A person subject to a requirement of this part may petition the 

Administrator of FRA for a waiver of compliance with such requirement. 

The filing of such a petition does not affect that person's 

responsibility for compliance with that requirement while the petition 

is being considered.

    (b) Each petition for waiver under this section must be filed in the 

manner and contain the information required by part 211 of this chapter.

    (c) If the Administrator finds that a waiver of compliance is in the 

public interest and is consistent with railroad safety, the 

Administrator may grant the waiver subject to any conditions the 

Administrator deems necessary. Where a waiver is granted, the 

Administrator publishes a notice containing the reasons for granting the 

waiver.

    (d) All waivers of every form and type from any requirement of any 

order or regulation implementing the Locomotive Boiler Inspection Act, 

36 Stat. 913, as amended, 49 U.S.C. 20702, applicable to one or more 

steam locomotives, shall lapse on January 18, 2000 unless a copy of the 

grant of waiver is filed for reassessment prior to that date with the 

Office of Safety, Federal Railroad Administration, 400 Seventh Street, 

Washington, DC 20590. FRA will review the waiver and notify the 

applicant whether the waiver has been continued.
