Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 5, 2011 / Notices 18827 

1On February 8, 2011, the BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF) filed a verified notice of 

exemption under the Board’s class exemption 

procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). The notice 

covered the agreement by Union Pacific Railroad 

Company (UP) to grant local trackage rights to 

BNSF over UP’s lines extending between: (1) UP 

milepost 93.2 at Stockton, Cal., on UP’s Oakland 

Subdivision, and UP milepost 219.4 at Elsey, Cal., 

on UP’s Canyon Subdivision, a distance of 

approximately 126.2 miles; and (2) UP milepost 

219.4 at Elsey, Cal., and UP milepost 280.7 at 

Keddie, Cal., on UP’s Canyon Subdivision, a 

distance of 61.3 miles. BNSF states that the trackage 

rights are only temporary rights, but, because they 

are ‘‘local’’ rather than ‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not 

qualify for the Board’s class exemption for 

temporary trackage rights at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8).

Exemption—Union Pac. R.R., FD 35466 (STB served

governments, and the motor carrier 

industry. The Board also must 

recommend initial annual fees to be 

assessed against carriers, leasing 

companies, brokers, and freight 

forwarders under the UCRA, as well as 

any annual adjustments to those fees. 

Section 14504a(d)(1)(B) provides that 

the UCR Plan’s Board of Directors must 

consist of directors from the following 

groups: 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration: One director must be 

selected from each of the FMCSA 

service areas (as defined by FMCSA on 

January 1, 2005) from among the chief 

administrative officers of the State 

agencies responsible for administering 

the UCRA. 

State Agencies: The five directors 

selected to represent State agencies 

must be from among the professional 

staffs of State agencies responsible for 

overseeing the administration of the 

UCR Agreement. 

Motor Carrier Industry: Five directors 

must be from the motor carrier industry. 

At least one of the five motor carrier 

industry directors must be from ‘‘a 

national trade association representing 

the general motor carrier of property 

industry’’ and one of them must be from 

‘‘a motor carrier that falls within the 

smallest fleet fee bracket.’’ 

U.S. Department of Transportation 

(the Department): One individual, either 

the FMCSA Deputy Administrator or 

such other Presidential appointee from 

the Department appointed by the 

Secretary, represents the Department. 

The establishment of the Board was 

announced in the Federal Register on 

May 12, 2006 (71 FR 27777). In that 

notice, the Agency recognized the 

American Trucking Associations, Inc. 

(ATA) as the national trade association 

representing the general motor carrier of 

property industry. ATA is a national 

affiliation of State trucking 

organizations representing the national, 

State and local interests of the 50 

affiliated State trucking associations; 

and the interests of specialized areas of 

the trucking industry through 

conferences and councils. The Agency 

selected the Owner-Operator 

Independent Drivers Association 

(OOIDA) as the organization from which 

to appoint an individual to represent 

motor carriers comprising the smallest 

fleet fee bracket. OOIDA is a national 

trade association representing the 

interests of small trucking companies 

and drivers. 

Each of the four current directors from 

the chief administrative officers of the 

State agencies responsible for 

overseeing the administration of the 

UCR Agreement are serving terms that 

expire on May 31, 2011. These directors 

may continue to serve until their 

replacements are appointed; each of 

them may be reappointed (49 U.S.C. 

14504a(d)(1)(D)(iii) and (iv)). Today’s 

publication serves as a notice requesting 

nominations for and public comment on 

possible appointment of the four 

members of the UCR Plan’s Board of 

Directors to be appointed from the chief 

administrative officers of the 

responsible State agencies in accordance 

with 49 U.S.C. 14504a(d).
