BILLING CODE 4910-EX-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA-2015-0056] Petition for Waiver of Compliance In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated May 30, 2015, the Maine Yacht Center, LLC
(MYC)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 part 215-Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2015-0056. In an effort to increase business, MYC wants to build a self-propelled carrier, for boats 30 to 40 or more feet in length, that will travel one-half mile over the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad from a waterfront facility to a storage facility. The limiting factor for over-the-road movement of boats is a fixed bridge height of 14 feet. Using rail would allow MYC to move larger boats using a route with a fixed bridge height of 18 feet. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at *www.regulations.gov* and in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation's
