Federal Highway Administration

Revised Filing Procedures for the

FHWA Rulemaking and Adjudicatory

Dockets

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of docket filing

procedures.

SUMMARY: The FHWA open rulemaking

and adjudicatory docket files will be

temporarily relocated and available for

inspection and copying in Room 2200–

G on the second floor of the Nassif

Building within the TASC Library at

400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington,

DC 20590. This temporary relocation is

necessary because there will be no

access to the fourth floor of the DOT

Headquarters building for

approximately four weeks and because

the FHWA dockets are being

consolidated with the DOT Docket

Management System. The DOT is

consolidating its nine separate docket

facilities and converting from a paperbased system to an optical imaging

system for more efficient storage,

management, and retrieval of docketed

information in order to provide better

service and access to the public and to

government users. The FHWA

rulemaking and adjudicatory docket

files that are closed will be sent to the

Federal Records Center in the near

future and are unavailable for retrieval

during the temporary relocation of

FHWA personnel to Techworld Plaza

from March 7 through April 7, 1997.

DATES: Open rulemaking and

adjudicatory dockets are available for

inspection and copying in Room 2200–

G effective March 3, 1997, until April 7,

1997. Open dockets will be available for

inspection and copying in Room PL–401

beginning on April 7, 1997. Closed

rulemaking and adjudicatory dockets

are temporarily unavailable for

inspection and copying from March 7

through April 7, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Submit all rulemaking

comments and adjudicatory dockets to

the U.S. DOT Dockets, Plaza Level of the

Nassif Building at the U.S. Department

of Transportation, Room PL–401, 400

Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC

20590–0001 between the hours of 10

a.m. and 5 p.m., e.t.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

FHWA rulemaking information: Mr.

Thomas P. Holian, HCC–10, (202) 366–

1383. For FHWA adjudicatory

information: Mr. Steven B. Farbman,

HCC–04, (202) 366–1358. Both are in

FHWA’s Office of the Chief Counsel. For

the U.S. DOT Dockets: Ms. Paulette
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 40 / Friday, February 28, 1997 / Notices 9235

1CACR states that the Clarkdale Branch is the

only rail asset owned by AZCR, although AZCR

owns other assets. For liability and accounting

purposes, and as part of a restructuring of the

business organizations under common control, the

decision was made to transfer AZCR’s only rail

asset to CACR. After consummation of the

transaction, AZCR will no longer be a rail carrier

subject to Board jurisdiction.

2This proceeding is related to STB Finance

Docket No. 33354, wherein David L. Durbano, a

noncarrier individual, has filed a notice of

exemption to continue in control of CACR upon

CACR’s becoming a Class III rail carrier.

3 Due to the Board’s scheduled relocation on

March 16, 1997, any filings made after March 16,

1997, must be filed with the Surface Transportation

Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch,

1925 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20423–0001.

Twine, Documentary Services, Room

PL–401, (202) 366–9329.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

15, 1995, at 60 FR 14050, the DOT

issued a public meeting notice

concerning the centralization and

computerization of DOT dockets. On

June 10, 1996, at 61 FR 29282, the Office

of the Secretary of the DOT published

a final rule revising filing procedures for

OST dockets.

The FHWA docket transition to the

centralized dockets begins on February

28, 1997. All open dockets will be

available for inspection and copying in

Room 2200–G within the TASC Library

of the Nassif Building from 9 a.m. to

3:30 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday,

except for Federal holidays, from March

3 through April 7, 1997. All comments

to open dockets should be clearly

marked with the appropriate docket

number and submitted to the U.S. DOT

Dockets, Room PL–401, 400 Seventh

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590–

0001.

At this time, the U.S. DOT Dockets

will accept only paper filings for an

original document.

To ensure that the highest quality

image is captured during the scanning

process, documents must be typed

double-spaced on 81⁄2 by 11 inch white

paper with dark type (not green) to

provide adequate contrast for

photographic reproduction. With one

exception, original documents must be

unbound, without tabs, to reduce

possible damage during removal of pins

and staples and to facilitate the use of

a high-speed mechanism for automated

scanning. Documents of more than one

page may be clipped with a removable

clip or similar device. In cases assigned

by order to an Administrative Law Judge

for hearing, the filing requirements with

respect to tabbing and binding and the

number of copies required will be set by

order of the Administrative Law Judge.

Filers are requested to provide onesided original documents to speed the

physical scanning process, but the

software capability to sort double-sided

copies is available.

Material that cannot be scanned will

be given special handling and a crossreference to this material will be noted

in the docket file.

Surface Transportation Board

[STB Finance Docket No. 33353]

Clarkdale Arizona Central Railroad,

L.C.—Acquisition and Operation

Exemption—Arizona Central Railroad,

Inc.

Clarkdale Arizona Central Railroad,

L.C. (CACR) has filed a verified notice

of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to

acquire approximately 38.74 miles of

rail line owned by Arizona Central

Railroad, Inc. (AZCR), between milepost

0 + 15 feet at Drake, AZ, to the Phoenix

Cement Plant at milepost 38 + 3940.3

feet near Clarkdale, AZ (the Clarkdale

Branch).1 CACR will become a Class III

rail carrier.2 Consummation was

expected to occur on or shortly after

February 7, 1997. Although this notice

of exemption for acquisition and

operation was filed on January 29, 1997,

and the exemption thus became

effective on February 5, 1997, the

transition could not lawfully have been

consummated until February 10, 1997,

at the earliest, because the related notice

of exemption for continuance in control

was filed on February 3, 1997, and, as

a result, that exemption did not become

effective until February 10, 1997.

If the 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 transaction.

An original and 10 copies of all

pleadings, referring to STB Finance

Docket No. 33353, must be filed with

the Surface Transportation Board, Office

of the Secretary, Case Control Branch,

1201 Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20423 3 and served on:

Walter T. Merrill, Durbano & Merrill,

Decided: February 19, 1997.

[STB Finance Docket No. 33354]

David L. Durbano—Continuance in

Control Exemption—Clarkdale Arizona

Central Railroad, L.C.

David L. Durbano (Applicant) has

filed a verified notice of exemption to

continue in control of Clarkdale Arizona

Central Railroad, L.C. (CACR), upon

CACR’s becoming a Class III rail carrier.

The notice stated that Applicant

expected the transaction to be

consummated on or after February 7,

1997. Because this notice of exemption

for continuance in control was filed on

February 3, 1997, however, the 7-day

effective date of this notice was

February 10, 1997, which was thus the

earliest date consummation could

lawfully occur.

This transaction is related to STB

Finance Docket No. 33353, Clarkdale

Arizona Central Railroad, L.C.—

Acquisition and Operation Exemption—

Arizona Central Railroad, Inc., wherein

CACR seeks to acquire 38.74 miles of

rail line owned by Arizona Central

Railroad, Inc. (AZCR).

Applicant controls five existing Class

III rail common carriers. In addition to

controlling AZCR, operating in Arizona,

applicant controls: Wyoming and

Colorado Railroad Company, Inc.

(WYCO), operating in Wyoming; Oregon

Eastern Railroad Company, Inc. (OER),

operating in Oregon; Southwestern

Railroad Company, Inc. (SWR),

operating in New Mexico, Oklahoma,

and Texas; and Cimarron Valley

Railroad, L.C. (CVR), operating in

Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado.

Applicant states that: (i) CACR will

not connect with WYCO, OER, SWR, or

CVR; (ii) the continuance in control is

not part of a series of anticipated

transactions that would connect CACR

with WYCO, OER, SWR, or CVR; and

(iii) the transaction does not involve any

Class I carriers. Therefore, the

transaction is exempt from the prior

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.

11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board

may not use its exemption authority to

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory

obligation to protect the interests of its

employees. Section 11326(c), however,

does not provide for labor protection for

transactions under sections 11324 and

11325 that involve only Class III rail
