UP has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) there is no overhead 

traffic on the line; (3) no formal 

complaint filed by a user of rail service 

on the line (or filed by a state or local 

government entity acting on behalf of 

such user) regarding cessation of service

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment shall be protected under

(1979). To address whether this 

condition adequately protects affected

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 or after 

May 21, 2010, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 2009 Business Relocation 

Assistance Retrospective Study. 

Background: Among benefits 

included in relocation assistance under 

the Uniform Act is a payment, not to 

exceed $10,000, to assist displaced 

businesses in reestablishing at a new 

location. The Uniform Act also includes 

a fixed payment for moving expenses 

not to exceed $20,000 in lieu of the 

payments for actual reasonable moving 

and reestablishment related expenses. 

The Uniform Act benefit levels were last 

revised in 1989. Since that time, 

displaced business moves have become 

increasingly complex and costly. HEPR, 

the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO) and several States have done 

recent research into the costs born by 

businesses that are required to relocate 

as a result of federally funded projects 

and programs. The general conclusion is 

that the Uniform Act benefit levels are 

inadequate. For example the GAO 

recently reported on the need for an 

update of benefit levels in Eminent 

Domain, Information about its Uses and 

Effect on Communities and Property 

Owners Is Limited (GAO–07–28). The 

report communicates in several points, 

including discussions on pages 4 and 

16, that Uniform Act benefits available 

to business are considered inadequate 

by interviewees. 

The data collected utilizing the 

following interview document would 

identify the name, location and type of 

business; actual costs that a business 

incurs which would be reimbursable if 

not for the statutory maximum 

reestablishment expenses or the 

additional in-lieu eligibility that a 

business would be eligible to receive as 

well as the amount of the relocation 

assistance the business received as a 

reimbursement through the relocation 

program. 

Interviews with selected participants 

will be conducted over a one-year 

period. 

Respondents: Approximately 300 

participants to be interviewed in one 

year. 

Frequency: One collection from each 

participant. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Approximately 4 hours per 

participant over a year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 1200 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, 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.
