4See Tongue River R.R.—Rail Constr. and 

Operation—In Custer, Powder River and Rosebud 

Cntys., Mont., FD 30186, et al., slip op. at 2 (STB 

served June 18, 2012). 

5Although the decision granting Tongue River I 

authorized the construction of an 89-mile line, 

TRRC described the line in its October 16 filing as 

being approximately 83 miles in length, based on 

refinements that would straighten and shorten the 

alignment. 

6The Board’s review of construction applications 

is governed by 49 U.S.C. 10901, its regulations at 

49 CFR 1150.1–1150.10, and the requirements of 

the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C. 4321–4370f (and related environmental 

laws). 

7The ICC had examined a variation on the 

Colstrip Alignment as a potential route in Tongue 

River I. 

River I.4 As explained in more detail in 

that decision, the Board required TRRC 

to file a revised application that would 

present the its current plans to build a 

rail line between Miles City and 

Ashland. In addition, the Board 

announced that it would conduct a new 

environmental review, rather than a 

supplemental environmental review 

based on the three prior environmental 

reviews conducted in Tongue River I, 

Tongue River II, and Tongue River III. 

In its revised application filed on 

October 16, 2012, TRRC proposed to go 

forward with the Tongue River I project, 

although in modified form.5 After 

reviewing the submission, the Board, in 

a decision served on November 1, 2012, 

clarified that the Board’s review in this 

proceeding would include not only the 

new environmental review of the entire 

construction project, but also an 

examination of the transportation merits 

supporting the entire Tongue River I 

line.6 The November 1 decision also 

directed TRRC to supplement the 

revised application to provide a 

sufficient record for the Board’s review, 

including additional evidence and 

argument in support of the 

transportation merits. Finally, the 

decision established a new procedural 

schedule for filings on the 

transportation merits appropriate for 

this proceeding and required that TRRC 

publish notices consistent with that 

decision. 

On December 17, 2012, TRRC filed a 

supplemental application intended to 

supersede the October 16 filing. TRRC 

explained that, in its October 16 

application, it had proposed the 

construction of a line between Miles 

City, Mont., and Ashland/Otter Creek, 

Mont., following a line similar to that 

approved by the ICC in 1986. However, 

TRRC now proposes a different routing, 

known as the Colstrip Alignment, as its 

preferred alignment.7

According to TRRC, it would 

construct the line, and the line would be 

operated solely by BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF), which owns a onethird interest in TRRC’s parent 

company, Tongue River Holding 

Company, LLC. TRRC states that, if 

selected as the preferred route, the 42- 

mile Colstrip Alignment would provide 

rail transportation for low sulfur, subbituminous coal from proposed mines 

in Rosebud and Powder River Counties, 

Mont., to an existing BNSF line, and 

consequently to the rest of the national 

rail network. Specifically, the line 

would connect at the north end with an 

existing and lightly used BNSF line 

known as the Colstrip Subdivision, 

which currently connects with the 

Forsyth Subdivision at Nichols Wye, a 

point approximately 6 miles west of 

Forsyth and approximately 50 miles 

west of Miles City. At its southern end, 

the Colstrip Alignment would have the 

same two termini south of Ashland as 

those proposed by TRRC in its October 

16 filing. Terminus Point 1 would, 

therefore, be at the previously proposed 

Montco Mine location, and Terminus 

Point 2 would lie along the Otter Creek 

drainage. TRRC claims that the Colstrip 

Alignment offers the shortest, most cost 

effective, and least environmentally 

impactful routing for the proposed line. 

Comments on the transportation 

aspects of TRRC’s supplemental 

application may be filed on or before 

March 1, 2013. Interested persons need 

not be on the service list to file 

comments on TRRC’s supplemental 

application, but they must serve a copy 

of their filing on TRRC and those on the 

service list. At that point, the 

commenting party will be added to the 

service list. TRRC may file a reply to the 

comments on or before April 15, 2013. 

The Board’s environmental review for 

this rail construction project is 

proceeding separately from our review 

of its transportation merits. Because the 

construction and operation of this 

project has the potential to result in 

significant environmental impacts, the 

Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) has determined that the 

preparation of an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) is appropriate. OEA 

issued a notice to stakeholders and the 

public on October 22, 2012, announcing 

its intent to prepare the EIS and 

requesting comments on a draft scope of 

study. In November, OEA held scoping 

meetings in the project area to assist in 

defining the range of issues and 

alternatives to be considered in the EIS. 

Comments on the scope of the EIS must 

be submitted to OEA by January 11, 

2013. Subsequently, OEA will issue a 

final scope of study for the EIS. 

Following the completion of scoping, 

OEA will prepare and issue a Draft EIS 

for public review and comment. The 

comments received will be addressed in 

a Final EIS. The Draft and Final EISs 

(including the public comments) will 

serve as the basis for OEA’s 

recommendations to the Board 

regarding whether, from an 

environmental perspective, TRRC’s 

supplemental application should be 

granted, granted with environmental 

conditions, or denied. 

The Board’s decision on TRRC’s 

supplemental application then will take 

into consideration both the 

transportation merits and the 

environmental impacts of constructing 

and operating the proposed line. 

This decision will not significantly 

affect either the quality of the human 

environment or the conservation of 

energy resources.

Chairman Begeman, and Commissioner 

Mulvey.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Number: 1505–0190. 

Title: Terrorism Risk Insurance 

Program-Conflict of Interest Rebuttal 

Procedures of the Terrorism Risk 

Insurance Act. 

Abstract: Sections 103 (a) and 104 of 

the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 

2002 (Pub. L. 107–297) (as extended by 

the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension 

Act of 2005 (Pub.L. 109–144) and the 

Terrorism Risk Insurance Program 

Reauthorization Act of 2007 (Pub.L. 

110–160) authorize the Department of 

the Treasury to administer and 

implement the Terrorism Risk Insurance 

Program established by the Act. Section 

102 (2) of the Terrorism Risk Insurance 

Act of 2002 defines an ‘‘affiliate’’ with 

respect to an insurer as ‘‘* * * any 

entity that controls, is controlled by, or 

is under common control with the 

insurer’’. Section 102 (3) of the Act 

defines ‘‘Control’’. Section 102(6) 

defines ‘‘insurer’’ to include ‘‘ * * * 

any affiliate thereof’’. Taken together 

these definitions comprise one element 

in calculating costs and payments to the 

insurer under the Program. As such, 

there could be questions as to whether 

an affiliate relation exists between 

specific insurers. The referenced 

Regulation sets forth information which, 

if provided by an insurer on its 

initiative, could rebut presumptions 

that, if not refuted, would lead to a 

determination that an affiliate 

relationship exists. This clearance 

action is for the data submission 

specified in 31 CFR 50.8. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved data collection. 

Affected Public: Business/Financial 

Institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 10 

Estimated Average Time per 

Respondent: 4 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 400 hours. 

Request for Comments: An agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless the 

collection of information displays a 

valid OMB control number. Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collections; (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation,

Background 

On August 28, 2003, the President 

issued Executive Order 13315 (the 

‘‘Order’’) pursuant to the International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 

U.S.C. 1701 et seq., the National 

Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., 

section 5 of the United Nations 

Participation Act, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 

287c, section 301 of title 3, United 

States Code, and in view of United 

Nations Security Council Resolution 

1483 of May 22, 2003. In the Order, the 

President expanded the scope of the 

national emergency declared in 

Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003, 

to address the unusual and 

extraordinary threat to the national 

security and foreign policy of the United 

States posed by obstacles to the orderly 

reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration 

and maintenance of peace and security 

in that country, and the development of 

political, administrative, and economic 

institutions in Iraq. The Order blocks 

the property and interests in property 

of, inter alia, persons listed on the 

Annex to the Order. 

On July 30, 2004, the President issued 

Executive Order 13350, which, inter 

alia, replaced the Annex to Executive 

Order 13315 with a new Annex that 

included the names of individuals and 

entities, including individuals and 

entities that had previously been 

designated under Executive Order 

12722 and related authorities. 

The Department of the Treasury’s 

Office of Foreign Assets Control has 

determined that the following 

individual and entity should be 

removed from the SDN List: 

Individual 

1. SPECKMAN, Jeanine, United 

Kingdom (individual) [IRAQ2]. 

Entity 

1. EUROMAC EUROPEAN 

MANUFACTURER CENTER SRL, Via 

Ampere 5, Monza 20052, Italy [IRAQ2]. 

The removal of the individual’s and 

entity’s names from the SDN List is 

effective as of January 3, 2013. All 

property and interests in property of the 

individual and entity that are in or 

hereafter come within the United States 

or the possession or control of United 

States persons are now unblocked.
