1A&F states that during the past 2 years, there has 

been no local common carrier service provided over 

the line nor have there been any requests for 

common carrier service during that period, but 

portions of the line have been used for purposes of 

freight car storage. A&F asserts that movement of its 

empty rail cars for storage does not disqualify A&F 

from the use of the notice of exemption process to 

obtain abandonment authority for the line. See Ind.

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2011–0055] 

Notification of Petition for Approval; 

Product Safety Plan 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

this document provides the public 

notice that by a document dated May 

23, 2011, the Marquette Rail, LLC 

(Marquette) has petitioned the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) approval 

of a Product Safety Plan (PSP) submitted 

pursuant to 49 CFR part 236, subpart H. 

FRA assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2011–0055. 

Marquette submitted a petition for 

approval of a PSP for the Railsoft 

TrackAccess System. The TrackAccess 

System is a processor-based dispatch 

system developed to be operated in the 

autonomous mode (without dispatcher 

intervention) for low density lines. The 

system provides a processor-based 

methodology of requesting and issuing 

track authority to either qualified train 

crewmembers or roadway workers, and 

to do so while significantly improving 

safety of train operations, roadway 

workers, and other railway equipment, 

while also increasing railroad 

productivity. Marquette asserts the PSP 

demonstrates that the TrackAccess 

System has been designed in a highly 

safe manner, and has been sufficiently 

tested to verify that fact. The PSP 

provides descriptions of the 

TrackAccess System itself. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

http://www.regulations.gov and in 

person at the Department of 

Transportation’s Docket Operations 

Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE.,

Friday, except Federal holidays. 

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 and may be

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. AB 1073X] 

Alabama & Florida Railway Co., Inc.— 

Abandonment Exemption—in Geneva, 

Coffee, and Covington Counties, Ala. 

Alabama & Florida Railway Co., Inc. 

(A&F) has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR pt. 1152 

subpart F—Exempt Abandonments to 

abandon its line of railroad between 

milepost 581.3 at Andalusia, Ala., and 

milepost 624.2 at Geneva, Ala., a 

distance of 42.9 miles, in Geneva, Coffee 

and Covington Counties, Ala. The line 

constitutes A&F’s entire rail system and 

traverses United States Postal Service 

Zip Codes 36340, 36420, 36421, 36453, 

36467, and 36477. 

A&F has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; 1 (2) there is no overhead 

traffic on the line that has been, or 

would need to be, rerouted as a result 

of the proposed abandonment; (3) no 

formal complaint filed by a user of rail 

service on the line (or by a state or local 

government entity acting on behalf of 

such user) regarding cessation of service 

over the line either is pending with the 

Surface Transportation Board (Board) or 

with any U.S. District Court or has been 

decided in favor of complainant within 

the 2-year period; and (4) the 

requirements at 49 CFR 1105.7(c) 

(environmental report), 49 CFR 1105.11 

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12 

(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR 

1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental 

agencies) have been met. 

Where, as here, the carrier is 

abandoning a line that constitutes its 

entire rail system, the Board does not 

normally impose labor protection under 

49 U.S.C. 10502(g), unless the evidence 

indicates the existence of: (1) A 

corporate affiliate that will continue 

substantially similar rail operations; or 

(2) a corporate parent that will realize 

substantial financial benefits over and 

above relief from the burden of deficit 

operations by its subsidiary railroad.

865X (STB served Aug. 20, 2004); 

Wellsville, Addison & Galeton R.R.— 

Aban. of Entire Line in Potter & Tioga 

Cntys., Pa., 354 I.C.C. 744 (1978); and 

Northampton & Bath R.R.—Aban. Near 

Northampton & Bath Junction in 

Northampton Cnty, Pa., 354 I.C.C. 784 

(1978). Because A&F does not appear to 

have a corporate affiliate or parent that 

will continue similar operations or that 

could benefit from the proposed 

abandonment, employee protection 

conditions will not be imposed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on 

September 8, 2011, unless stayed 

pending reconsideration. Petitions to 

stay that do not involve environmental

2The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised 

by a party or by the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) in its independent investigation) 

cannot be made before the exemption’s effective 

date. See Exemption of Out-of-Serv. Rail Lines, 5 

I.C.C. 2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should 

be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may 

take appropriate action before the exemption’s 

effective date. 

3Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,500. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 

4A&F states that it does not own title to the real 

property comprising the line’s right-of-way (ROW); 

rather, the title remains with CSX Transportation, 

Inc. (CSXT). According to A&F, when the line was 

sold in 1986 to an unaffiliated short line railroad 

predecessor of A&F (Alabama & Florida Railroad, 

Inc., or ‘‘A&F Railroad’’), CSXT’s predecessor, 

Seaboard System Railroad, Inc., conveyed to A&F 

Railroad the common carrier obligation associated 

with the line but retained for itself an ownership 

interest in the underlying real estate and remained 

as a lessor of the lines’s ROW. A&F states that it 

acquired the line from A&F Railroad subject to this 

arrangement with CSXT. Citing Seminole Gulf 

Railway—Abandonment Exemption—in Lee 

County, Florida, AB 400 (Sub-No. 2X) (ICC served 

Dec. 22, 1994), A&F states that it is now seeking 

abandonment authority on the understanding that 

it is the appropriate entity to do so and that CSXT 

does not need to file its own abandonment 

authority or otherwise join in this request. A&F 

states that it believes that the ROW might be 

suitable for other public purposes, if CSXT is 

amendable to such an arrangement.

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

A&F has filed a combined 

environmental and historic report that 

addresses the effects, if any, of the 

abandonment on the environment and 

historic resources. OEA will issue an 

environmental assessment (EA) by 

August 12, 2011. Interested persons may 

obtain a copy of the EA by writing to 

OEA (Room 1100, Surface 

Transportation Board, Washington, DC

impaired is available through the 

Federal Information Relay Service 

(FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339. Comments 

on environmental and historic 

preservation matters must be filed 

within 15 days after the EA becomes 

available to the public. 

Environmental, historic preservation, 

public use, or trail use/rail banking 

conditions will be imposed, where 

appropriate, in a subsequent decision. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29(e)(2), A&F shall file a notice of 

consummation with the Board to signify 

that it has exercised the authority 

granted and fully abandoned the line. If 

consummation has not been effected by 

A&F’s filing of a notice of 

consummation by August 9, 2012, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC 

is proposing to revise the following 

information collection: 

Title: Fair Housing Home Loan Data 

System Regulation. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0159. 

Description: The Fair Housing Act (42 

U.S.C. 3605) prohibits discrimination in 

the financing of housing on the basis of 

race, color, religion, sex, or national 

origin. The Equal Credit Opportunity 

Act (15 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.) prohibits 

discrimination in any aspect of a credit 

transaction on the basis of race, color, 

religion, national origin, sex, marital 

status, age, receipt of income from 

public assistance, or exercise of any 

right under the Consumer Credit 

Protection Act. The OCC is responsible 

for ensuring that national banks comply 

with those laws. This information in 

collection 12 CFR part 27 is needed to 

promote national bank compliance and 

for OCC to fulfill its statutory 

responsibilities. 

The information collection 

requirements in 12 CFR part 27 are as 

follows: 

• Section 27.3(a) requires national 

banks that are required to collect data 

on home loans under 12 CFR part 203 

to present the data on Federal Reserve 

Form FR HMDA–LAR,1 or in automated 

format in accordance with the HMDA– 

LAR instructions, and to include one
