Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 74 / Monday, April 20, 2009 / Notices 18021 

1The Board previously exempted the 

abandonment of the 3.35-mile line in Mid-Michigan 

Railroad, Inc.—Abandonment Exemption—in 

Muskegon County, MI, STB Docket No. AB–364 

(Sub-No. 13X) (STB served Dec. 10, 2007). 

However, the authority to abandon the line expired 

because MMRR did not file its notice of 

consummation by the December 10, 2008 deadline. 

In a decision served on February 25, 2009, MMRR 

was advised that, should it wish to abandon the 

line, it must seek appropriate Board authority with 

a new filing. 

2The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised 

by a party or by the Board’s Section of 

Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent 

investigation) cannot be made before the 

exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any 

request for a stay should be filed as soon as possible 

so that the Board may take appropriate action before 

the exemption’s effective date. 

3Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,500. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 

line, in Muskegon County, MI.1 The line 

traverses United States Postal Service 

Zip Codes 49441, 49442, and 49444. 

MMRR has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic on 

the line can be rerouted over other lines; 

(3) no formal complaint filed by a user 

of rail service on the line (or by a state 

or local government entity acting on 

behalf of such user) regarding cessation 

of service over the line either is pending 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

(Board) or with any U.S. District Court 

or has been decided in favor of 

complainant within the 2-year period; 

and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 

1105.7 (environmental reports), 49 CFR 

1105.8 (historic reports), 49 CFR 

1105.11 (transmittal letter), 49 CFR 

1105.12 (newspaper publication), and 

49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to 

governmental agencies) have been met. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment shall be protected under 

Oregon Short Line R. Co.— 

Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 

(1979). To address whether this 

condition adequately protects affected 

employees, a petition for partial 

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on May 20, 

2009, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues,2

formal expressions of intent to file an 

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),3 and 

trail use/rail banking requests under 49 

CFR 1152.29 must be filed by April 30, 

2009. Petitions to reopen or requests for 

public use conditions under 49 CFR 

1152.28 must be filed by May 11, 2009, 

with the Surface Transportation Board, 

395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 

20423–0001. 

A copy of any petition filed with the 

Board should be sent to MMRR’s 

representative: Louis E. Gitomer, Law 

Offices of Louis E. Gitomer, 600 

Baltimore Avenue, Suite 301, Towson, 

MD 21204. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

MMRR has filed a combined 

environmental report and historic report 

which addresses the effects, if any, of 

the abandonment on the environment 

and historic resources. SEA will issue 

an environmental assessment (EA) by 

April 24, 2009. Interested persons may 

obtain a copy of the EA by writing to 

SEA (Room 1100, Surface 

Transportation Board, Washington, DC 

20423–0001) or by calling SEA, at (202) 

245–0305. [Assistance for the hearing 

impaired is available through the 

Federal Information Relay Service 

(FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339.] Comments 

on environmental and historic 

preservation matters must be filed 

within 15 days after the EA becomes 

available to the public. 

Environmental, historic preservation, 

public use, or trail use/rail banking 

conditions will be imposed, where 

appropriate, in a subsequent decision. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29(e)(2), MMRR shall file a notice 

of consummation with the Board to 

signify that it has exercised the 

authority granted and fully abandoned 

the line. If consummation has not been 

effected by MMRR’s filing of a notice of 

consummation by April 20, 2010, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.

2009 (74 FR 3134). The agency received 

no comments. This is a request for an 

extension of an existing collection. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before May 20, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Title: 49 CFR 575—Consumer 

Information Regulations (sections 103 

and 105). 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0049. 

Form Number: None. 

Affected Public: Vehicle 

manufacturers. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from approval 

date. 

Abstract: NHTSA must ensure that 

motor vehicle manufacturers comply 

with 49 CFR Part 575, Consumer 

Information Regulation part 575.103 

Truck-camper loading and Part 575.105 

Utility Vehicles. Part 575.103, requires 

that manufacturers of light trucks that 

are capable of accommodating slide-in 

campers provide information on the 

cargo weight rating and the longitudinal 

limits within which the center of gravity 

for the cargo weight rating should be

located. Part 575.105, requires that 

manufacturers of utility vehicles affix a 

sticker in a prominent location alerting 

drivers that the particular handling and 

maneuvering characteristics of utility 

vehicles require special driving 

practices when these vehicles are 

operated. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 15. 

Based on prior years’ manufacturer 

submissions, the agency estimates that 

15 responses will be submitted 

annually. Currently 12 light truck 

manufacturers comply with 49 CFR part 

575. These manufacturers file one 

response annually and submit an 

additional response when they 

introduce a new model. Changes are 

rarely filed with the agency, but we 

estimate that three manufacturers will 

alter their information because of model 

changes. The light truck manufacturers 

gather only pre-existing data for the 

purposes of this regulation. Based on 

previous years’ manufacturer 

information, the agency estimates that 

light truck manufacturers use a total of 

20 hours. Specifically, manufacturers 

use 9 hours to gather and arrange the 

data in its proper format, 4 hours to 

distribute the information to its 

dealerships and attach labels to light 

trucks that are capable of 

accommodating slide-in campers, and 7 

hours to print the labels and utility 

vehicle information in the owner’s 

manual or a separate document 

included with the owner’s manual. The 

estimated annual burden hour is 300 

hours. This number reflects the total 

responses (15) times the total hours (20). 

Prior years’ manufacturer information 

indicates that it takes an average of 

$35.00 per hour for professional and 

clerical staff to gather data, distribute 

and print material. Therefore, the 

agency estimates that the cost associated 

with the burden hours is $10,500 

($35.00 per hour x 300 burden hours). 

Estimated Annual Cost: $2,262,631. 

The annual cost is based on light 

truck production. In model year 2008, 

light truck manufacturers produced 

about 6,464,659 units. By assuming that 

all light truck manufacturers (both large 

and small volume manufacturers) incur 

the same cost, the total annual cost to 

comply with statutory requirements, 

§ 575.103 and § 575.105 is $2,262,631 

(or $0.35 each unit). 

Comments Are Invited On: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Department, including whether the 

information will have practical utility. 

• Whether the Department’s estimate 

for the burden of the proposed 

information collection is accurate. 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.
