Background 

The Social Security Administration 

(SSA) is requesting clearance to collect 

data necessary to evaluate the Youth 

Transition Exploration Demonstration 

(YTED) under the Interventional 

Cooperative Agreement Program (ICAP). 

SSA awarded its second set of 

cooperative agreements for ICAP on 

December 22, 2022. ICAP allows SSA to 

partner with various non-federal groups 

and organizations to advance 

interventional research connected to the 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

and Social Security Disability Insurance 

(SSDI) programs. SSA awarded 

Mathematica a cooperative agreement to 

lead the YTED, which will help youth 

with disabilities transition successfully 

into the adult labor force and 

competitive, integrated employment. In 

addition, Mathematica is partnering 

with the Pennsylvania Office of 

Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) to 

recruit youth and deliver intervention 

services and the University of 

Maryland’s Center for Transition and 

Career Innovation (UMD) to provide 

training and technical assistance to 

OVR. 

YTED Project Description 

YTED will provide SSA with 

empirical evidence on the impact of the 

intervention on youth in several 

outcome areas: (1) employment and 

earnings; (2) SSI and SSDI benefit 

receipt; and (3) other related outcomes, 

such as satisfaction and well-being. A 

rigorous evaluation of YTED is 

important to help SSA and other 

interested parties assess promising 

options to improve employment-related 

outcomes and decrease benefit receipts. 

Mathematica is directing YTED and 

evaluating it via a randomized 

controlled trial. OVR will recruit 700 

youth into YTED over a two-year period. 

Potential enrollees include all residents 

in the city of Philadelphia and the 

surrounding four counties in 

Pennsylvania (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, 

and Montgomery) ages 16 to 24 who 

qualify for vocational rehabilitation (VR) 

services; have never signed an 

individualized plan for employment 

with OVR; and are capable of giving 

informed consent or assent. Once

enrolled, youth assigned to the control 

group will remain eligible for standard 

VR services and receive information 

about how to apply to OVR. Youth 

assigned to the treatment group will 

open a case with OVR and receive 

enhanced Transition Exploration (TE) 

services. Treatment group members will 

receive services from a specially trained 

OVR counselor called a Vocational 

Rehabilitation Counselor-YTED (VRC– 

YTED) for up to 12 months. Key 

enhanced services provided by a VRC– 

YTED will include career goal 

development, referral to intensive 

training programs, referral to other 

employment-related resources, and 

intensive engagement and follow up. As 

part of the TE intervention, OVR will 

develop strong collaborative 

relationships with intensive training 

programs like Job Corps and Year Up to 

facilitate seamless referrals and 

cooperation. OVR will also provide 

counseling on SSI, SSDI, and other 

benefits with a goal of helping youth to 

access them temporarily while pursuing 

full-time work. The respondents are 

youth with disabilities who qualify and 

who are selected by SSA to enroll in 

YTED. 

Correction Notice: SSA published this 

information collection as Transition 

Exploration Demonstration (TED), on 

June 29, 2024, at 89 FR 53472. We are 

changing the name of the information 

collection to Youth Transition 

Exploration Demonstration (YTED).

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36810] 

The Pittsburgh & Ohio Central Railroad 

Company—Trackage Rights 

Exemption—CSX Transportation, Inc. 

The Pittsburgh & Ohio Central 

Railroad Company (POHC), a Class III 

rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) to 

acquire trackage rights over 

approximately 4,640 feet (0.88 miles) of 

rail line owned by CSX Transportation, 

Inc. (CSXT), between approximately 

milepost PLE 5.15 and approximately 

milepost PLN 0.24, including over a rail 

bridge (the Common Rail Bridge), to 

access customers and rail lines on 

Neville Island, Pa. (the Line). 

According to the verified notice, 

CSXT and POHC are parties by 

succession to a 1902 trackage rights 

agreement through purchases, 

assignments, and assumptions from 

predecessor railroads. CSXT has agreed 

to extend POHC’s trackage rights over 

the Line pursuant to an amended and 

restated trackage rights agreement 

(Amended Agreement).1

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after October 16, 2024, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the amended 

trackage rights will be protected by the 

conditions imposed in Norfolk & 

Western Railway—Trackage Rights— 

Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 I.C.C. 605 

(1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast 

Railway—Lease & Operate—California 

Western Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980). 

POHC states that, because the Amended 

Agreement provides for the 

continuation of existing trackage rights, 

it does not expect any employees to be 

adversely affected. 

If the verified 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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than October 9, 2024 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36810, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board either via 

e-filing on the Board’s website or in 

writing addressed to 395 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on POHC’s representative, 

Justin J. Marks, Clark Hill PLC, 1001 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite 1300 

South, Washington, DC 20004. 

According to POHC, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c) and from historic preservation 

reporting requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.8(b).

Decided: September 26, 2024.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
