BILLING CODE 4910-13-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA-2011-0009] Petition for Waiver of Compliance In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated April 21, 2011, the Nevada Northern Railway Museum has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration

(FRA)for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 215.303. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2011-0009. The Nevada Northern Railway Museum seeks a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards, 49 CFR 215.303, which requires stenciling. This request is for the following 11 cars: 3 Cabooses (NN 3, 5, and 22) 3 Flat Cars (NN 23, 100, and SP 78177) 5 Hopper Cars (WSOR 102, 128, 134, 158, and 159) The Nevada Northern Railway Museum states that these cars are operated in irregular “photo” freights. Specifically, these cars operate on the Nevada Northern Railway Museum's 30 miles of track which is isolated from the general railroad system and they never leave the petitioner's property. The Nevada Northern Railway Museum states that these cars are completely restored with a sound car body. The cars will not be interchanged with any other railroad, and will be operated at a speed limit of 25 miles per hour. These cars are painted and stenciled to reflect its historic appearance. Stenciling the car to meet Section 215.303 requirements would detract from the historical and educational impression these cars are intended to preserve. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at *http://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.
