# 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 October 31, 2022, Riverport Railroad, LLC (RVPR) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 223 (Safety Glazing Standards—Locomotives, Passenger Cars and Cabooses). The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2008-0028.
Specifically, RVPR requests relief from § 223.11(a), *Requirements for Existing Locomotives,* for one locomotive, RVPR 4029, for operations not exceeding 10 miles per hour over a section of track on the former Department of Defense Savanna Army Depot. The installation is located in rural northwestern Illinois, with 80 percent of the adjoining land owned by RVPR and partially under private ownership. In support of its petition, RVPR states that the subject trackage is enclosed and there are no overhead structures or bridges from which objects could be thrown.
A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at *www.regulations.gov.*
