Company—Lease Renewal 

Exemption—Oklahoma Department of 

Transportation 

Wichita, Tillman & Jackson Railway 

Company (WTJR), a Class III rail carrier, 

has filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1150.41 to renew and 

supplement its lease of approximately 

61.02 miles of rail line owned by the 

Oklahoma Department of Transportation 

(ODOT), referred to as the Western 

Branch. The Western Branch extends 

between milepost 17.54 at the TexasOklahoma State line near Burkburnett, 

Tex., and milepost 78.56 at Altus, Okla. 

WTJR has leased and operated the 

Western Branch since 1991.1

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed notice of exemption 

in Wichita, Tillman & Jackson Railway 

Company—Lease Renewal Exemption— 

Union Pacific Railroad Company, FD 

35452, in which WTJR seeks to renew 

its lease of approximately 40.48 miles of 

rail line consisting of two unconnected 

segments in Texas and Oklahoma. 

WTJR states that it and ODOT will 

shortly execute a lease renewal 

agreement renewing the 1991 Track 

Lease and Operating Agreement. The 

term of the lease renewal is 20 years, 

and the lease renewal will also include 

other changes beyond the extension of 

the lease term. 

WTJR certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of the 

transaction will not result in WTJR 

becoming a Class II or Class I rail carrier 

and further certifies that its projected 

annual revenues will not exceed $5 

million. 

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or after January 12, 

2011. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the 

proceeding 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 

transaction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OTS may 

not conduct or sponsor an information

required to respond to an information 

collection, unless the information 

collection displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. As part of the 

approval process, we invite comments 

on the following information collection. 

Comments should address one or 

more of the following points: 

a. Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of OTS;

the burden of the proposed information 

collection;

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

d. Ways to minimize the burden of the 

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: Notice of Hiring or 

Indemnifying Senior Executive Officers 

or Directors. 

OMB Number: 1550–0047. 

Form Numbers: 1606; 1624. 

Description: 12 U.S.C. 1831i requires 

OTS to make a determination as to the 

hiring or appointment of senior 

executive officers or directors at savings 

institutions or thrift holding companies. 

The OTS’s determination must be based 

upon an evaluation of the individual’s 

competence, experience, character, and 

integrity. The information required by 

the collection is necessary to make this 

determination. Without this 

information, the OTS cannot 

accomplish the statutory requirement 

designed to protect the interests of the 

Deposit Insurance Fund. The OTS has 

delegated the Regional Director, or his 

designee, at each Regional Office the 

authority to approve or deny these 

requests. They evaluate the individual’s 

educational and professional experience 

to determine competence in the 

proposed position. An evaluation of the 

individual’s proprietary interests 

identifies conflicts of interest that may 

render such person unsuitable for the 

position. Finally, information such as an 

individual’s criminal offenses, lawsuits, 

and related disclosures enable further 

evaluation of the individual’s integrity 

and character. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

120. 

Estimated Frequency of Response: On 

occasion. 

Estimated Total Burden: 280 hours. 

Dated: December 17, 2010.

Paperwork Clearance Officer, Office of Chief 

Counsel, Office of Thrift Supervision.
