Leased Lines),1 and (2) operate pursuant 

to a trackage rights agreement among 

DDRR, NS, and New Jersey Transit 

Corporation (NJT) over 80.7 miles of rail 

lines (the Trackage Lines), all in the 

State of New Jersey. 

The Leased Lines run (i) between

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified petition for 

exemption in Kean Burenga & 

Chesapeake & Delaware, LLC— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Dover & Delaware River Railroad, LLC, 

Docket No. FD 36259, in which Kean 

Burenga and Chesapeake and Delaware, 

LLC seek the Board’s approval to 

continue in control of DDRR upon 

DDRR’s becoming a Class III rail carrier. 

DDRR states that NS currently 

provides freight service on the Lines. 

DDRR further states that NS owns the 

Leased Lines, and NJT owns the 

Trackage Lines, over which NS holds a 

residual freight easement and trackage 

rights. DDRR represents that, upon 

consummation of the transaction, it will 

become the freight operator on the 

Lines. 

DDRR certifies that its projected 

annual revenues from this transaction 

will not result in the creation of a Class 

I or Class II rail carrier and will not 

exceed $5 million. As is required under 

49 CFR 1150.33(h)(1), DDRR discloses 

in its verified notice that its lease 

agreement with NS for the Leased Lines 

contains an interchange commitment 

that will affect interchange with carriers 

other than NS on the Leased Lines. 

DDRR has provided additional 

information regarding the interchange 

commitment as required under 49 CFR 

1150.33(h). DDRR represents that the 

trackage rights agreement among it, NS, 

and NJT for the Trackage Lines does not 

contain an interchange commitment. 

DDRR states that it will not 

commence operations on the Lines until 

the Board issues a decision on the 

concurrently filed verified petition for 

exemption in Docket No. FD 36259. The 

effective date of this lease and operation 

exemption will be held in abeyance 

pending review of the petition for 

exemption. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of 

a petition to revoke will not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than seven days before 

the exemption becomes effective; a 

deadline for filing petitions for stay will 

be established in a future decision that 

establishes an effective date for this 

exemption. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

36258, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on DDRR’s representative, 

Eric. M. Hocky, Clark Hill PLC, One 

Commerce Square, 2005 Market Street, 

Suite 1000, Philadelphia, PA 19103. 

According to DDRR, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c) and from historic reporting 

under 49 CFR 1105.8(b). 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our website at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: December 14, 2018.

Director, Office of Proceedings.

qualified individuals who do not meet 

this latter requirement.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Air Carrier 

Contract Maintenance Requirements 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. This information collection 

requires air carriers to report monthly to 

the FAA, all maintenance providers 

with whom they have contracted with to 

perform maintenance on their aircraft. 

This is necessary to ensure that 

maintenance provider data is current, 

and in a format readily accessible to the 

FAA. This will enable the FAA to 

adequately target its inspection 

resources for surveillance, and make 

accurate risk assessments. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by February 19, 2019. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA 

at the following address: Barbara Hall, 

Federal Aviation Administration, ASP– 

110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort 

Worth, TX 76177. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Barbara Hall by email at: 

Barbara.L.Hall@faa.gov; phone: 940– 

594–5913. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0766. 

Title: Air Carrier Contract 

Maintenance Requirements. 

Form Numbers: There are no forms 

associated with this collection. 

Type of Review: This is a renewal of 

an information collection. 

Background: Air carrier maintenance 

has evolved from mostly an ‘‘in-house’’ 

operation to an extended network of 

maintenance providers that fulfill 

contracts with air carriers to perform 

their aircraft maintenance. Any person 

performing maintenance for an air 

carrier must follow the air carrier’s 

maintenance manual. 

The FAA has found that, although an 

air carrier is required to list its 

maintenance providers and a general 

description of the work to be done in its 

maintenance manual, these lists are not 

always kept up to date, are not always 

complete, and are not always in a format 

that is readily useful for FAA oversight 

and analysis purposes. Without accurate 

and complete information on the work 

being performed for air carriers, the 

FAA cannot adequately target its 

inspection resources for surveillance 

and make accurate risk assessments. 

This collection of information 

supports regulatory requirements 

necessary under 14 CFR part 121 and 

part 135 to ensure safety of flight by 

requiring air carriers to provide a list to 

the FAA of all persons with whom they 

contract their maintenance. The list 

must be updated with any changes, 

including additions or deletions, and 

the updated list provided to the FAA in 

a format acceptable to the FAA by the 

last day of each calendar month. The 

FAA uses its oversight tool, the Safety 

Assurance System (SAS), to generate 

and electronically provide a 

standardized template to air carriers. Air 

carriers document maintenance 

provider changes on this template and 

return it via email to their Flight 

Standards District Office or Certificate 

management Office. 

This collection also supports the 

FAA’s strategic goal to provide to the
