1After the Board ordered RJC Railroad Property 

to clarify the endpoint of the Line, the railroad on 

November 13, 2023, modified the description of the 

Line. (See RJC R.R. Prop. Reply 1–2, Nov. 13, 2023; 

see also RJC R.R. Prop. Letter, Nov. 28, 2023 

(making conforming edits to the petition).) 

Thereafter, it also amended its Combined 

Environmental and Historic Report on November 

20, 2023. Therefore, for the purpose of calculating 

upcoming statutory and regulatory dates, November 

20, 2023, will be deemed the filing date for the 

petition for exemption.

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The information collected on the DS– 

5525, Statement of Exigent/Special 

Family Circumstances for Issuance of a 

U.S. Passport to a Child under Age 16, 

is used in conjunction with the DS–11, 

Application for a U.S. Passport. The 

DS–5525 can serve as the statement 

describing exigent or special family 

circumstances, which is required if 

written consent of the non-applying 

parent or guardian cannot be obtained 

when the passport application is 

executed for a child under age 16. 

Methodology 

Passport Services collects information 

from U.S. citizens and non-citizen 

nationals when they complete and 

submit the DS–5525, Statement of 

Exigent/Special Family Circumstances 

for Issuance of a U.S. Passport to a Child 

under Age 16. Passport applicants can 

either download the DS–5525 from the 

internet travel.state.gov or obtain the 

form from an acceptance facility/ 

passport agency. The form must be 

completed, signed, and submitted along 

with the applicant’s DS–11, Application 

for a U.S. Passport.

BILLING CODE 4710–06–P 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. AB 1296 (Sub-No. 1X)] 

R. J. Corman Railroad Property, LLC— 

Abandonment Exemption—in 

Campbell County, Tenn. 

On April 21, 2023, R. J. Corman 

Railroad Property, LLC (RJC Railroad 

Property), a non-operating Class III rail 

carrier, submitted a petition under 49 

U.S.C. 10502 for an exemption from the 

prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

10903 to abandon what it later clarified 

as approximately 3.67 miles of line in 

Campbell County, Tenn. (the Line).1

According to the updated description, 

the Line extends approximately 2.0 

miles from milepost 33 on the Oneida 

Line along Beech Fork before reaching 

a junction from which it continues in a 

southeasterly direction along Stoney 

Fork for approximately 1.67 miles 

before dead-ending in Clinchmore. The 

Line traverses U.S. Postal Service Zip 

Code 37714. 

On November 17, 2022, the Board 

conditioned abandonment of a 

connecting line, known as the Oneida 

Line, on the abandonment of any 49 

U.S.C. 10901 track that could be 

stranded by abandonment of the Oneida 

Line. See R. J. Corman R.R. Prop., LLC— 

Aban. Exemption—in Scott, Campbell & 

Anderson Cntys, Tenn., AB 1296X, slip 

op. at 5–6 (STB served Nov. 17, 2022). 

According to RJC Railroad Property, this 

abandonment proceeding seeks to 

resolve the issue of any and all 

potentially stranded section 10901 track 

by formally seeking abandonment 

authority for the Line, which RJC 

Railroad Property has determined to be 

the only section 10901 track at issue. 

(Pet. 3.) 

In addition to an exemption from 49 

U.S.C. 10903, RJC Railroad Property 

seeks (1) exemption from the offer of 

financial assistance (OFA) procedures of 

49 U.S.C. 10904 and waiver of the 

related regulations at 49 CFR 1152.27, 

(2) exemption from the public use 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10905 and 

waiver of the related regulations at 49 

CFR 1152.28, and (3) waiver of the 

interim trail use provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29. RJC Railroad Property argues 

that these provisions are not necessary 

to carry out the rail transportation 

policy of 49 U.S.C. 10101 (RTP) and that 

granting the exemptions and waivers 

will instead promote the RTP by 

eliminating unnecessary procedures and 

expediting the process. (Pet. 12–13.) 

These requests will be addressed in the 

Board’s final decision. 

Based on the information in its 

possession, RJC Railroad Property states 

that the Line does not contain federally 

granted rights-of-way. Any 

documentation in RJC Railroad 

Property’s possession will be made 

available to those requesting it. 

The interest of railroad employees 

will be protected by the conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad— 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 

91 (1979). 

By decision served July 20, 2023, the 

Board instituted a proceeding pursuant 

to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final decision 

will be issued by March 8, 2024. See 49 

CFR 1152.26(a); R. J. Corman R.R. Prop., 

LLC—Aban. Exemption—in Scott, 

Campbell, & Anderson Cntys., Tenn., 

AB 1296X et al., slip op. 6 n.9 (STB 

served Oct. 11, 2023). 

Any OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) 

will be due no later than March 19, 2024 

(120 days after the November 20, 2023 

deemed filing date of the petition) or 10 

days after service of a decision granting 

the petition for exemption, whichever 

occurs sooner. Persons interested in 

submitting an OFA must first file a 

formal expression of intent to file an 

offer by December 18, 2023, indicating 

the type of financial assistance they 

wish to provide (i.e., subsidy or 

purchase) and demonstrating that they 

are preliminarily financially 

responsible. See 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(1)(i). 

Following abandonment, the Line 

may be suitable for other public use, 

including interim trail use. Any request 

for a public use condition under 49 CFR 

1152.28 or for interim trail use/rail 

banking under 49 CFR 1152.29 will be 

due no later than December 28, 2023.2
