The security zones also exclude persons and vessels from the immediate vicinity of these facilities during military cargo loading and unloading operations.

Correction

In the Federal Register of August 6, 2013 (78 FR 47980), we make the following correction to the Race to the Top—District Program notice of final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria:


### 54589 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 172 / Thursday, September 5, 2013 / Rules and Regulations

1 The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Size Standards develops the numerical definition of a small business. See 13 CFR 121.201. The SBA has established a size standard for rail transportation, stating that a line-haul railroad is considered small if its number of employees is 1,500 or less, and that a short line railroad is considered small if its number of employees is 500 or less. Id. (industry subsector 482). On page 48003, in the first column, before the heading ‘‘Intergovernmental Review,’’ add a new heading, Waiver of Delayed Effective Date under the Congressional Review Act, and the following three paragraphs:

These final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria have been determined to be a major rule for purposes of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) (5 U.S.C. 801, et seq.). Generally, under the CRA, a major rule takes effect 60 days after the date on which the rule is published in the Federal Register . Section 808(2) of the CRA, however, provides that any rule which an agency for good cause finds (and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons therefore in the rule issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, shall take effect at such time as the Federal agency promulgating the rule determines.

These final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are needed to implement the Race to the Top—District program and run the competition in FY 2013. The Department must make awards no later than December 31, 2013, or the funds will lapse. To ensure that we do so, the Department established October 3, 2013, as the deadline by which applicants must submit their applications. This will give applicants sufficient time to submit high-quality applications (58 days), peers sufficient time to conduct a thorough and rigorous review of applications (approximately 45 days), and the Department sufficient time to make awards (approximately 40 days).

An effective date 60 days after publication would fall after October 3, and the priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria would not be effective at the time applications are due. Given the large number of applications we expect, the need to provide peers with sufficient time for review, and the need to allow sufficient time for the Department to make awards, a later due date for applications is not practicable. Accordingly, there is good cause to waive the delayed effective date under the Congressional Review Act.

Dated: August 30, 2013.
Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education.

**Surface Transportation Board**

**49 CFR Parts 1121, 1150, and 1180**

**[Docket No. EP 714]**

**Information Required in Notices and Petitions Containing Interchange**  **Commitments**

**AGENCY :**  Surface Transportation Board, DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rules.

**SUMMARY :**  On November 1, 2012, the Board issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) proposing rules that would establish additional disclosure requirements for notices and petitions for exemption where the underlying lease or line sale includes an interchange commitment. Based on the comments received and further evaluation, the Board now adopts as final the proposed rules, with modifications that reduce the amount of information required to be submitted. The final rules are set forth below.

**DATES :**  Effective date: These rules will be effective on October 5, 2013.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Amy C. Ziehm at (202) 245–0391. Assistance for the hearing impaired is available through the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at (800) 877–8339.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Board modifies its existing rules regarding notices and petitions for acquisition exemption in which an underlying sale or lease agreement includes an interchange commitment with the addition of certain filing requirements. Additional information is contained in the Board’s decision served on September 5, 2013. To obtain a copy of this decision, visit the Board’s Web site
at http://www.stb.dot.gov. Copies of the decision may also be purchased by contacting the Board’s Office of Public Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and Compliance and (202) 245–0238. Paperwork Reduction and Regulatory Flexibility

In the NPR, published in the Federal Register at 77 FR 66165 on November 2, 2012, the Board sought comments pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501–3549, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations at 5 CFR 1320.11, regarding: (1) Whether the collection of information as modified in the proposed rule and further described in Appendix B, is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Board, including whether the collection has practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the Board’s burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, when appropriate. We received comments regarding the Board’s burden estimates and have addressed them in the full decision.

The proposed rule modifications were submitted to OMB for review as required under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3507(d), and 5 CFR 1320.11. No substantive comments were received from OMB. Unless renewed, OMB approval for this collection expires August 31, 2014. The OMB control number is 2140–0016. The display of a currently valid OMB control number for this collection is required by law. Under the PRA and 5 CFR 1320.11, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, generally requires a description and analysis of new rules that would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Under § 605(b), an agency is not required to perform an initial or final regulatory flexibility analysis if it certifies that the proposed or final rules will not have a ‘‘significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.’’ In accordance with § 605(b), we certify that the final rules will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 1 The basis for this determination is as follows.

The regulations adopted here will affect all railroads filing notices and petitions for exemption for sales and leases that contain interchange commitments. The filing railroad (or respondent) is typically a small rail carrier. Between May 2008, when the Board began requiring the disclosure of interchange commitments in notices and petitions for exemption, and the date of this decision, a total of 12 notices or petitions for exemption for
