DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. AB–1075X] 

Manufacturers Railway Company— 

Discontinuance Exemption—in St. 

Louis County, MO 

On March 24, 2011, Manufacturers 

Railway Company (MRS) 1 filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board a petition 

under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for exemption 

from the prior approval requirements of 

49 U.S.C. 10903 to discontinue service 

over all tracks and yards located within 

the area bordered by Cedar Street on the 

north to Zepp Street on the south; and 

Mississippi River flood wall on the east 

to U.S. Interstate 55 on the west, in St. 

Louis, Mo. The lines traverse U.S. Postal 

Service Zip Code 63118. MRS intends to 

discontinue service over its lines but 

does not intend, at this point, to remove 

the trackage or rail assets comprising the 

lines. 

According to MRS, the lines do not 

contain any Federally granted rights-ofway. Any documentation in MRS’s 

possession will be made available 

promptly to those requesting it. 

MRS asserts that, because its petition 

seeks discontinuance covering MRS’s 

entire rail system and because MRS has 

no corporate affiliate that will continue 

substantially similar rail operations or a 

corporate parent that will realize 

substantial financial benefits over and 

above relief from the burden of deficit 

operations by its subsidiary railroad, 

labor protective conditions should not 

be imposed. MRS requests that the 

Board follow its established practice 

regarding labor conditions in entire 

system discontinuances. The United 

Transportation Union, the Brotherhood 

of Maintenance of Way Employes 

Division-International Brotherhood of 

Teamsters, and the International 

Association of Machinists and 

Aerospace Workers have filed separate 

statements or comments in opposition 

to the petition, asserting that affected 

employees are entitled to labor 

protection. The Board will consider and 

address comments on the petition, 

including comments regarding labor 

protection, in its final decision on the 

merits. 

By issuance of this notice, the Board 

is instituting an exemption proceeding 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final 

decision will be issued by July 12, 2011. 

Because this is a discontinuance 

proceeding and not an abandonment, 

OFAs to purchase the line for continued 

rail service are not appropriate. Any 

offer of financial assistance (OFA) under 

49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) to subsidize 

continued rail service will be due no 

later than 10 days after service of a 

decision granting the petition for 

exemption. Each offer must be 

accompanied by a $1,500 filing fee. See 

49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 

Because this is a discontinuance 

proceeding and not an abandonment, a 

trail use/rail banking condition, under 

16 U.S.C. 1247(d), and a public use 

condition, under 49 U.S.C. 10905, are 

not appropriate. Additionally, no 

environmental or historic 

documentation is required under 49 

CFR 1105.6(c)(2) and 1105.8. 

All filings in response to this notice 

must refer to Docket No. AB–1075X, and 

must be sent to: (1) Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001; and (2) 

Paul A. Cunningham, Harkins 

Cunningham LLP, 1700 K Street, NW., 

Suite 400, Washington, DC 20006–3804. 

Replies to the petition are due on or 

before May 3, 2011. 

Persons seeking further information 

concerning discontinuance procedures 

may contact the Board’s Office of Public 

Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and 

Compliance at (202) 245–0230 or refer 

to the full abandonment and 

discontinuance regulations at 49 CFR 

part 1152. Questions concerning 

environmental issues may be directed to 

the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) at (202) 245–0305.

BILLING CODE 4915–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Departmental Offices; Debt 

Management Advisory Committee 

Meeting 

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(a)(2), that a meeting 

will be held at the Hay-Adams Hotel, 

16th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC, on May 3, 2011 

at 11:30 a.m. of the following debt 

management advisory committee: 

Treasury Borrowing Advisory 

Committee of The Securities Industry 

and Financial Markets Association. 

The agenda for the meeting provides 

for a charge by the Secretary of the 

Treasury or his designate that the 

Committee discuss particular issues and 

conduct at working session. Following 

the working session, the Committee will 

present a written report of its 

recommendations. The meeting will be 

closed to the public, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(d) and Public Law 

103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B) (31 U.S.C. 3121 

note). 

This notice shall constitute my 

determination, pursuant to the authority 

placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C. 

App. 2, § 10(D) and vested me by 

Treasury Department Order No. 101–05, 

that the meeting will consist of 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

20820 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 13, 2011 / Notices 

discussions and debates of the issues 

presented to the Committee by the 

Secretary of the Treasury and the 

making of recommendations of the 

Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to 

Public Law 103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B). 

Thus, this information is exempt from 

disclosure under that provision and 5 

U.S.C. 522b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the 

meeting is concerned with information 

that is exempt from disclosure under 5 

U.S.C. 522b(c)(1)(A). The public interest 

requires that such meetings be closed to 

the public because the Treasury 

Department requires frank and full 

advice from representatives of the 

financial community prior to making its 

final decisions on major financing 

operations. Historically, this advice has 

been offered by debt management 

advisory committees established by the 

several major segments of the financial 

community. When so utilized, such a 

committee is recognized to be an 

advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 

2, § 3. 

Although the Treasury’s final 

announcement of financing plans may 

not reflect the recommendations 

provided in reports of the Committee, 

premature disclosure of the Committee’s 

deliberations and reports would be 

likely to lead to significant financial 

speculation in the securities market. 

Thus this meeting falls within the 

exemption covered by 5 U.S.C. 

522b(c)(1)(A). 

Treasury staff will provide a technical 

briefing to the press on the day before 

the Committee meeting, following the 

release of a statement of economic 

conditions and financing estimates. This 

briefing will give the press an 

opportunity to ask questions about 

financing projections. The day after the 

Committee meeting, Treasury will 

release the minutes of the meeting, any 

charts that were discussed at the 

meeting, and the Committee’s report to 

the Secretary. 

The Office of Debt Management is 

responsible for maintaining records of 

debt management advisory committee 

meetings and for providing annual 

reports setting forth a summary of 

Committee activities and such other 

matters as may be informative to the 

public consistent with the policy of 5 

U.S.C. 552(b). The Designated Federal 

Officer or other responsible agency 

official who may be contacted for 

additional information is Fred 

Pietrangeli, Deputy Director for Office of 

Debt Management (202) 622–1876.

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected;

information collection on respondents, 

including through the use of 

information technology. 

We will summarize the comments 

that we receive and include them in the 

OTS request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. In this notice, OTS is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

following information collection. 

Title of Proposal: Application and 

Termination Notice for Municipal 

Securities Dealer Principal or 

Representative. 

OMB Number: 1550–0123. 

Form Numbers: MSD–5 and MSD–4. 

Description: Section 15B(a)(2) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Act) 

requires, in part, that municipal 

securities dealers notify their 

appropriate regulatory agency (ARA) of 

their activities. This information is 

required to satisfy the requirements of 

the Act. The Financial Services 

Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 provides 

for the inclusion of the OTS in the 

definition of an ARA for Federal savings 

associations (FSA’s). 

The forms are completed by certain 

FSA employees that act as municipal 

securities dealer principals or 

representatives, and are submitted to 

OTS. OTS reviews the information to 

monitor registered persons’ entry into, 

and exit from, municipal securities 

dealer activities. The information 

contributes to the OTS’s understanding 

of the FSA and helps to facilitate the 

supervision of the municipal securities 

dealer activities. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

14. 

Estimated Frequency of Response: On 

occasion.
