Federal agencies must solicit public 

comment on proposed collections of 

information, including extensions and

one collection of information for which 

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval, it must publish a document in 

the Federal Register providing a 60-day 

comment period and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information. The OMB has 

promulgated regulations describing 

what must be included in such a 

document. Under OMB’s regulations (at 

5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask 

for public comment on the following: 

(i) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(ii) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(iii) How to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(iv) How to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses. 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA asks public 

comment on the following proposed 

collection of information: 

Title: 49 CFR Section 571.108, 

Compliance Labeling of Retroreflective 

Materials Heavy Trailer Conspicuity. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0569. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for profit organizations. 

Abstract: Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard No. 108, ‘‘Lamps, 

reflective devices, and associated 

equipment,’’ specifies requirements for 

vehicle lighting for the purposes of 

reducing traffic accidents and their 

tragic results by providing adequate 

roadway illumination, improved vehicle 

conspicuity, appropriate information 

transmission through signal lamps, in 

both day, night, and other conditions of 

reduced visibility. For certifications and 

identification purposes, the Standard 

requires the permanent marking of the 

letters ‘‘DOT–C2,’’ DOT–C3’’, or DOT– 

C4’’ at least 3mm high at regular 

intervals on retroreflective sheeting 

material having adequate performance 

to provide effective trailer conspicuity. 

The manufacturers of new tractors 

and trailers are required to certify that 

their products are equipped with 

retroreflective material complying with 

the requirements of the standard. The 

Federal Motor Carriers Safety 

Administration (FMCSA) enforces this 

and other standards through roadside 

inspections of trucks. There is no 

practical field test for the performance 

requirements, and labeling is the only 

objective way of distinguishing trailer 

conspicuity grade material from lower 

performance material. Without labeling, 

FMCSA will not be able to enforce the 

performance requirements of the 

standard and the compliance testing of 

new tractors and trailers will be 

complicated. Labeling is also important 

to small trailer manufacturers because it 

may help them certify compliance. 

Because wider stripes or material of 

lower brightness also can provide the 

minimum safety performance, the 

marking system serves the additional 

role of identifying the minimum stripe 

width required for retroreflective 

conspicuity of the particular material. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 1 hours.

1SSI originally filed the notice of exemption on 

February 23, 2015, and filed a supplement on 

March 10, 2015. Therefore, March 10, 2015, is 

considered the filing date and the basis for all dates 

in this notice. 

2SSI is a noncarrier and has invoked 49 CFR 

1150.31 to acquire rights by contract, which it refers 

to as ‘‘trackage rights.’’

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35909] 

Signal Specialties, Inc.—Acquisition 

and Operation Exemption—Line in 

Buchanan County, MO 

Signal Specialties, Inc. (SSI), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption 1 under 49 CFR 1150.31, to 

acquire from Transit America, LLC (TA, 

LLC) 2 and to operate approximately 

1,650 feet of rail line in Buchanan 

County, Mo., (the Line). The Line 

extends along the Easton-Saxton Road 

and connects to a BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF) mainline on the west 

end and to track owned by Herzog 

Contracting Corporation (HCC) on the 

east end. According to SSI, there are no 

milepost designations on the Line. 

The Line was part of a longer line 

extending between St. Joseph, Mo., and 

Laclede, Mo. This longer line was 

abandoned by a predecessor to BNSF in 

1984.3 Sometime after 1984, but prior to 

October 2002, Herzog Contracting 

Corporation (HCC), an affiliate of TA, 

LLC, acquired a portion of the 

abandoned line. TA, LLC subsequently 

acquired the right, title, and interest to 

a portion of that abandoned line east of 

St. Joseph from HCC and commenced 

operations over it.4 SSI now seeks to 

enter into an agreement with TA, LLC 

to operate on the Line. 

SSI certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not exceed those that would qualify 

it as a Class III rail carrier and will not 

exceed $5 million. 

SSI further certifies that the trackage 

rights agreement does not include a 

provision or agreement that may limit 

future interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after April 9, 2015 (30 days after 

the supplemental notice of exemption 

was filed). 

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 to stay must be 

filed no later than April 2, 2015 (at least 

seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35909, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on Kevin M. Sheys, Nossaman 

LLP, 1666 K St. NW., Suite 500, 

Washington, DC 20006. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at 

‘‘WWW.STB.DOT.GOV’’. 

Decided: March 23, 2015.

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.
