Petition For Exemption
Docket No.: FAA–2020–1057.
Petitioner: B/E Aerospace—FSI.
Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected:
§§ 25.813(e) and 121.310(f)(6).
Description of Relief Sought: B/E
Aerospace—FSI is seeking relief from
the requirement that no door may be
installed between any passenger seat
that is occupiable for takeoff and
landing and any passenger emergency
exit, such that the door crosses any
egress path (including aisles, crossaisles
and passageways), as well as the
requirement that no person may operate
an airplane that incorporates a door
installed between any passenger seat
occupiable for takeoff and landing and
any passenger emergency exit. The
petitioner is proposing to install
expandable monuments at emergency
exits on Boeing Model 777 and Model
787 airplanes and Airbus Model A330
and Model A350 airplanes. The
expandable monument is a modular
transforming-unit that exploits
underutilized areas in the cabin by
expanding to provide additional usable
space. This is achieved by taking
advantage of unused space, unfolding
in-flight to provide additional service
areas. When the modular units are
deployed, they block the emergency
exits and the attendant seats, located at
the exits.

Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on March 8, 2021, Georgetown
Loop Railroad (GLRX) 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
230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and
Maintenance Standards. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2021–
0036.
Specifically, GLRX requests relief
from 49 CFR 230.16(a)(2), Fifth annual
inspection, of flexible staybolts and
caps, for a period of one year for
locomotive GLRX #111. The locomotive
has operated for 375 service days since
it entered service in 2016 with a newly
constructed boiler. GLRX states that
because of the coronavirus disease 2019,
GLRX #111 did not incur any service
days in 2020. If granted the requested
relief, GLRX explains it would perform
the required testing at the 2022 annual
inspection.

[Docket Number FRA–2021–0030]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on February 25, 2021, Iowa
Interstate Railroad (IAIS) 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
230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and
Maintenance Standards. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2021–
0030.
Specifically, IAIS requests relief for
its steam locomotive IAIS 6988, from 49
CFR 230.17(a), One thousand four
hundred seventy-two (1472) service day
inspection, to extend the 1472 service
day inspection (SDI) 106 calendar days
from September 5, 2021, to December
20, 2021, if coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID–19) restrictions are reduced to
permit servicing and operation. If
COVID–19 restrictions are not lifted,
and operation is limited or not
permitted in 2021, IAIS requests an
extension of the 1472 SDI until
December 20, 2022, a total of 471
calendar days.
IAIS states that the COVID–19 public
health emergency has caused IAIS to
halt excursion service, which resulted
in IAIS 6988 only accumulating one
service day since its 2020 annual
inspection. IAIS anticipates operating
IAIS 6988 for about 40 service days in
2021. Further, IAIS states that during
the extension period, all regularly
scheduled maintenance and inspections
required will be performed, and the
IAIS 6988 will be stored indoors,
serviceable, and drained.
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. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
