Background: The Motor Carrier Safety
Improvement Act of 1999 (Public Law
106–159, 113 Stat. 1749, December 9,
1999) (MCSIA) authorized the Secretary
of Transportation to regulate household
goods carriers engaged in interstate
operations for individual shippers. In
earlier legislation, Congress abolished
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and transferred the Commission’s
jurisdiction over household goods
transportation to the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) (ICC Termination
Act of 1995, Public Law 104–88). Prior
to FMCSA’s establishment, the
Secretary delegated this household
goods jurisdiction to the Federal
Highway Administration, FMCSA’s
predecessor organization within DOT.
Sections 4202 through 4216 of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for

law regarding household goods

In accordance with Part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
notice is hereby given that the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) has
received a request for a waiver of

of its safety standards. The individual

Great Lakes Central Railroad (Waiver
Petition Docket Number FRA–2010–
0094)
The Great Lakes Central Railroad
(GLC) seeks a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Passenger
Equipment Safety Standards, 49 CFR
238.103(a)(1), which requires that
‘‘Materials used in constructing a
passenger car or a cab of a locomotive
ordered on or after September 8, 2000,
or placed in service for the first time on
or after September 9, 2002, shall meet
the test performance criteria for
flammability and smoke emission
characteristics as specified in Appendix
B to this part.’’
GLC states that it is installing new
seats in its Budd-built commuter cars.
The armrest cover material is made of
urethane which, when burned, emits
smoke and, therefore, not complying
with the aforementioned standard. GLC
states that the armrest is attached to a
metal riser, which is attached to the
metal seat frame. The seat, frame and
the flooring all meet the requirement of
49 CFR 238.103(a)(1). The armrest is
separated by metal from other vehicle
parts, and there are no combustible
materials within four feet of the armrest.
It is unlikely that this armrest could
contribute to flame or smoke unless
there is a major fire. GLC provided a
diagram and photograph of the armrest
which are included in the docket.
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
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver
Petition Docket Number FRA–2010–
0094) and may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
• Web site: http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
