SUMMARY: The FMCSA announces an 

extension of the comment period for its 

June 8 notice concerning a project to 

demonstrate the ability of Mexicodomiciled motor carriers to operate

commercial zones. On May 1, 2007, 

FMCSA published a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing the 

demonstration project as part of the

American Free Trade Agreement

provisions. On June 8, 2007, FMCSA 

published a second notice adding 

certain details concerning the 

demonstration project. The FMCSA 

extends the comment period on the June 

8 notice in order to give the public more 

time to review supplemental 

information the Agency added to the

problems associated with the relocation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Maritime 

Administration (MARAD). 

Title: MARAD Maritime Operator 

Survey Concerning Mariner 

Availability. 

OMB Control Number: 2133–NEW. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Affected Public: Vessel operating 

companies representing different sectors 

of the U.S. maritime industry. 

Form(s): MA–1048. 

Abstract: Part of the stated statutory 

policy of the Merchant Marine Act, 

1936, is to foster the development and 

maintenance of an adequate U.S.-flag 

merchant marine manned with trained 

and efficient citizen personnel. In order 

to successfully meet this mandate, 

MARAD must determine whether a 

current or projected shortage of 

mariners exists and if there is an 

operational or business impact on the 

merchant marine. MARAD believes that 

a brief preliminary survey is necessary 

at this time because it has received an 

abundance of anecdotal information 

indicating that there is a serious existing 

and projected mariner shortage in 

different market sectors. If the 

preliminary survey indicates that there 

is a projected shortage that appears to be 

more than short-term, MARAD will 

follow-up with a more detailed survey 

to analyze the shortage and ascertain the 

best means to address it. 

Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 

33.34 hours (20 minutes per 

respondent). 

Addressee: Send comments to the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 17th Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20503, Attention 

MARAD Desk Officer. 

Comments Are Invited On: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed 

information collection; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is best assured of 

having its full effect if OMB receives it 

within 30 days of publication.

[STB Docket No. AB–297 (Sub-No. 103X)] 

Columbus and Greenville Railway

Exemption—in Greenwood, MS 

Columbus and Greenville Railway 

Company (CAGY) has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1152 

Subpart F—Exempt Abandonments and 

Discontinuances of Service to 

discontinue service over an out-ofservice line of railroad between 

milepost 21.2 in West Point, MS, and 

milepost 110.7 in Greenwood, MS, a 

distance of approximately 89.5 miles in 

Clay, Oktibbeha, Webster, Montgomery, 

Carroll, and Leflore Counties, MS. The 

line traverses United States Postal 

Service Zip Codes 39773, 39741, 39755, 

39750, 39752, 39744, 39767, 39747, 

38967, 38943, 38947, and 38930. 

CAGY has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic on 

the line can be rerouted over other lines; 

(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 

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 1105.12 

(newspaper publication) and 49 CFR 

1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental

employee adversely affected by the 

discontinuance of service shall be 

protected under Oregon Short Line R. 

Co.—Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 

91 (1979). To address whether this 

condition adequately protects affected 

employees, a petition for partial 

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

must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on August 3, 

2007, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues and 

formal expressions of intent to file an 

OFA for continued rail service under 49 

CFR 1152.27(c)(2),1 must be filed by 

July 13, 2007.2 Petitions to reopen must
