and milepost 0.0 in West Donegal 

Township, in Lancaster County, Pa. 

This transaction may be 

consummated on March 20, 2015 (the 

effective date of this notice). 

Applicants currently control one 

Class III rail carrier, Clinton Terminal 

Railroad Company, which operates in 

the State of North Carolina. 

Applicants certify that: (1) The rail 

lines to be operated by EZR do not 

connect with any other railroads 

operated by the carriers in the 

applicants’ corporate family; (2) the 

continuance in control is not part of a 

series of anticipated transactions that 

would connect the rail lines to be 

operated by EZR with any other railroad 

in applicants’ corporate family; and (3) 

the transaction does not involve a Class 

I rail carrier. Therefore, the transaction 

is exempt from the prior approval 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323. See 49 

CFR 1180.2(d)(2). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of its 

employees. Section 11326(c), however, 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under 11324 and 11325 

that involve only Class III rail carriers. 

Accordingly, the Board may not impose 

labor protective conditions here because 

all of the carriers involved are Class III 

carriers. 

If the 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. Stay petitions must be 

filed no later than March 13, 2015 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35903, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on John K. Fiorilla,

Midlantic Drive, Suite 300S, Mount 

Laurel, NJ 08054.

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces receipt of 

applications from 27 individuals for 

exemption from the vision requirement

various reasons. The exemptions will 

enable these individuals to operate 

commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in 

interstate commerce without meeting 

the prescribed vision requirement in 

one eye. If granted, the exemptions 

would enable these individuals to 

qualify as drivers of commercial motor 

vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 6, 2015. All comments 

will be investigated by FMCSA. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for a 2-year period if it finds 

‘‘such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption.’’ 

FMCSA can renew exemptions at the 

end of each 2-year period. The 27 

individuals listed in this notice have 

each requested such an exemption from 

the vision requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers 

of CMVs in interstate commerce. 

Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate 

the qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting an 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute.

BILLING CODE 4910–EX–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2013–0021] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of renewal of 

exemptions; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to renew the exemptions from 

the vision requirement in the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for 7 

individuals. FMCSA has statutory 

authority to exempt individuals from 

the vision requirement if the 

exemptions granted will not 

compromise safety. The Agency has 

concluded that granting these 

exemption renewals will provide a level 

of safety that is equivalent to or greater 

than the level of safety maintained 

without the exemptions for these 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers. 

DATES: This decision is effective April 4, 

2015. Comments must be received on or 

before April 6, 2015.
