BILLING CODE 4910-06-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA-2010-0171] Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that on March 1, 2024, Sacramento Southern Railroad/California State Railroad Museum
(CSRM)petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA)to extend a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR parts 215 (Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards) and 224 (Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling Stock). FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0171. Specifically, CSRM requests to extend its previous 1 special approval pursuant to 49 CFR 215.203, *Restricted cars,* for 2 railcars (SSRR 6102 and SSRR 6108) and 1 locomotive (SN 402) that are more than 50 years from the dates of original construction. CSRM also seeks relief from § 215.303, *Stenciling of restricted cars,* and part 224, to operate the cars in excursion service. In support of its request, CSRM states that the cars will not be used in interchange or for revenue freight service, and the locomotive is primarily used to haul passenger trains during daylight hours or for yard switching operations. CSRM also states that the equipment is inspected regularly and in excellent mechanical condition. 1 The special approval/waiver in Docket Number FRA-2010-0171 expired on May 16, 2022. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at *www.regulations.gov.* Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments.
