provides the public notice that on 

December 11, 2017, the Union Pacific 

Railroad (UP) petitioned the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking 

approval to discontinue or modify a

Mr. Kevin D. Hicks, AVP Engineering—

the Tennessee Pass Subdivision in the 

state of Colorado. The CP is no longer 

used. It will be replaced with an 

intermediate signal on the main track 

and a leaving signal in the siding. The

Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5320 Paul S. 

Sarbanes Transit in Parks Program 

OMB Number: 2132–0574 

Background: Section 3021 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy 

for Users (SAFETEA–LU), as amended, 

established the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit 

in Parks Program (Transit in Parks 

Program—49 U.S.C. 5320). The program 

was administered by FTA in partnership 

with the Department of the Interior 

(DOI) and the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture’s Forest Service. The 

program provided grants to Federal land 

management agencies that manage an 

eligible area, including but not limited 

to the National Park Service, the Fish 

and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of 

Land Management, the Forest Service, 

the Bureau of Reclamation; and State, 

tribal and local governments with 

jurisdiction over land in the vicinity of 

an eligible area, acting with the consent 

of a Federal land management agency, 

alone or in partnership with a Federal 

land management agency or other 

governmental or non- governmental 

participant. The purpose of the program 

was to provide for the planning and 

capital costs of alternative 

transportation systems that will enhance 

the protection of national parks and 

Federal lands; increase the enjoyment of 

visitors’ experience by conserving 

natural, historical, and cultural 

resources; reduce congestion and 

pollution; improve visitor mobility and 

accessibility; enhance visitor 

experience; and ensure access to all, 

including persons with disabilities. The 

Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in the Parks 

program was repealed under the Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 

Act (MAP–21). However, funds 

previously authorized for programs 

repealed by MAP–21 remain available 

for their originally authorized purposes 

until the period of availability expires, 

the funds are fully expended, the funds 

are rescinded by Congress, or the funds 

are otherwise reallocated. 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: Approximately 4 hours for 

each of the 15 respondents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 60 

hours. 

Frequency: Annually.

Deputy Associate Administrator for 

Administration.
