Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 48 / Friday, March 13, 2009 / Notices 10985 

For the foregoing reasons, the agency 

hereby grants in full VW’s petition for 

exemption for the Audi A3 vehicle line 

from the parts-marking requirements of 

49 CFR part 541. The agency notes that 

49 CFR part 541, Appendix A–1, 

identifies those lines that are exempted 

from the Theft Prevention Standard for 

a given model year. 49 CFR part 543.7(f) 

contains publication requirements 

incident to the disposition of all part 

543 petitions. Advanced listing, 

including the release of future product 

nameplates, the beginning model year 

for which the petition is granted and a 

general description of the antitheft 

device is necessary in order to notify 

law enforcement agencies of new 

vehicle lines exempted from the partsmarking requirements of the Theft 

Prevention Standard. 

If VW decides not to use the 

exemption for this line, it must formally 

notify the agency. If such a decision is 

made, the line must be fully marked 

according to the requirements under 49 

CFR parts 541.5 and 541.6 (marking of 

major component parts and replacement 

parts). 

NHTSA notes that if VW wishes in 

the future to modify the device on 

which this exemption is based, the 

company may have to submit a petition 

to modify the exemption. Part 543.7(d) 

states that a part 543 exemption applies 

only to vehicles that belong to a line 

exempted under this part and equipped 

with the anti-theft device on which the 

line’s exemption is based. Further, part 

543.9(c)(2) provides for the submission 

of petitions ‘‘to modify an exemption to 

permit the use of an antitheft device 

similar to but differing from the one 

specified in that exemption.’’ 

The agency wishes to minimize the 

administrative burden that part 

543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted 

vehicle manufacturers and itself. The 

agency did not intend in drafting part 

543 to require the submission of a 

modification petition for every change 

to the components or design of an 

antitheft device. The significance of 

many such changes could be de 

minimis. Therefore, NHTSA suggests 

that if the manufacturer contemplates 

making any changes, the effects of 

which might be characterized as de 

minimis, it should consult the agency 

before preparing and submitting a 

petition to modify.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Finance Docket No. 35219] 

Union Pacific Railroad Company— 

Petition for Declaratory Order 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Institution of declaratory order 

proceeding; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: In response to a petition filed 

by Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP) on February 18, 2009, the Board is 

instituting a declaratory order 

proceeding under 49 U.S.C. 721 and 5 

U.S.C. 554(e).1 UP requests that the 

Board determine the extent of the 

common carrier obligation to quote rates 

for new, lengthy movements of chlorine, 

a toxic inhalation hazard (TIH), where 

the transportation would require 

movement through High Threat Urban 

Areas (HTUAs) 2 and other large 

communities to destinations where, 

according to UP, an ample supply of 

chlorine is available from nearby 

sources. The Board seeks public 

comment on this matter. 

DATES: Replies to UP’s petition and 

comments are due by March 31, 2009. 

UP’s rebuttal and reply to comments are 

due by April 20, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted either via the Board’s e-filing 

format or in the traditional paper 

format. Any person using e-filing should 

attach a document and otherwise 

comply with the instructions at the EFILING link on the Board’s website, at 

http://www.stb.dot.gov. Any person 

submitting a filing in the traditional 

paper format should send an original 

and 10 copies, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35219, to: Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, send one copy of comments to 

UP’s representative, Tonya W. Conley, 

Union Pacific Railroad Company, 1400 

Douglas Street, Omaha, NE 68179. 

Copies of written comments will be 

available for viewing and self-copying at 

the Board’s Public Docket Room, Room 

131, and will be posted to the Board’s 

Web site.

Timothy Strafford, (202) 245–0356. 

[Assistance for the hearing impaired is 

available through the Federal 

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at: 1– 

800–877–8339]. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: UP, as a 

rail common carrier, has an obligation 

under 49 U.S.C. 11101(b) to provide 

common carrier rates and other service 

terms upon reasonable request. UP’s 

petition for declaratory order seeks to 

address a recent request from a 

customer for common carriage rates for 

the transportation of chlorine from Utah 

to destinations in or near Houston and 

Dallas, TX, and Allemania and 

Plaquemine, LA. These movements 

would average 1,900 miles in distance 

and travel through two HTUAs and 

several other large cities. UP declined to 

quote rates for these movements, 

pending the outcome of this proceeding, 

because, according to UP, the risk of 

potential exposure from long distance 

shipments of chlorine is unnecessary 

where all four of these destinations are 

located less than 300 miles from ample 

alternate chlorine supplies. UP asserts 

that the facilities in both Allemania and 

Plaquemine have alternate chlorine 

sources accessible by rail within 70 

miles, none of which will route through 

any HTUAs, and that the facilities in 

Houston and Dallas have alternative 

chlorine sources within 300 miles, with 

potential sources located in the Houston 

metropolitan area. UP also asserts that 

other governmental agencies have
