agreement was filed with the notice of exemption. 

The full version was concurrently filed under seal

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA invites public 

comments about our intention to request 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to approve a current information 

collection. This request is a change to 

FAA Form 5100–127, Operating and 

Financial Summary, where we will now 

collect limited statistical information on 

airport operations. This new 

information will add 10 lines to the 

Form and 1 hour to the Form’s 

preparation time. Large, medium, and 

small hub commercial service airports 

will be asked to provide this 

information. A copy of the modified 

Form is available for public inspection 

at FAA Docket-2009–0257. This notice 

is supplementary to the notice of this 

Airport Grants Program revision 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 3, 2009 [74 FR 5968]. 

Additionally, since that notice of 

revision, the burden for this collection 

has increased due to new requirements 

imposed by the American Recovery and 

Reimbursement Act of 2009 (ARRA). A 

letter of public notification of this 

emergency increase was published in 

the Federal Register on April 10, 2009 

[74 FR 16439]. 

DATES: Please submit comments by June 

22, 2009.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Finance Docket No. 35222] 

Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad 

Company—Temporary Trackage 

Rights Exemption—Norfolk Southern 

Railway Company 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company 

(NSR), pursuant to a written trackage 

rights agreement entered into between 

NSR and Nittany and Bald Eagle 

Railroad Company (N&BE),1 has agreed 

to grant temporary, non-exclusive, 

overhead trackage rights to N&BE over 

a portion of NSR’s line of railroad 

between Lock Haven, PA (milepost BR 

194.2), and Driftwood, PA (milepost BR 

139.2), a distance of approximately 55 

miles. 

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or after May 7, 2009, 

the effective date of the exemption (30 

days after the exemption was filed). The 

temporary trackage rights will expire on 

December 15, 2009. The purpose of the 

temporary trackage rights is to allow 

N&BE to operate bridge train service for 

temporary, seasonal traffic originating 

on N&BE for delivery to an off-line 

destination. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee affected by the acquisition of 

the temporary trackage rights will be 

protected by the conditions imposed in 

Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.—Trackage 

Rights—BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 

modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.— 

Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 

(1980), and any employee affected by 

the discontinuance of those trackage 

rights will be protected by the 

conditions set out in Oregon Short Line 

R. Co.—Abandonment—Goshen, 360 

I.C.C. 91 (1979). 

This notice is filed under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(8). If it 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 transaction. Any 

stay petition must be filed by April 30, 

2009 (at least 7 days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 

(2007), nothing in this decision 

authorizes the following activities at any 

solid waste rail transfer facility: 

collecting, storing, or transferring solid 

waste outside of its original shipping 

container; or separating or processing 

solid waste (including baling, crushing, 

compacting, and shredding). The term 

‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 

U.S.C. 6903. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35222, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Renewals; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously 

announced its decision to renew the 

exemptions from the vision requirement 

in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for 13 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 

exemptions will provide a level of safety 

that will be equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety maintained 

without the exemptions for these 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers.

Programs, (202) 366–4001,

holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic Access 

You may see all the comments online 

through the Federal Document 

Management System (FDMS) at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

Background 

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

FMCSA may grant an exemption 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.’’ The statute also 

allows the Agency to renew exemptions 

at the end of the 2-year period. The 

comment period ended on March 30, 

2009. 

Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

proceeding. 

Conclusion 

The Agency has not received any 

adverse evidence on any of these drivers 

that indicates that safety is being 

compromised. Based upon its 

evaluation of the 13 renewal 

applications, FMCSA renews the 

Federal vision exemptions for David F. 

Breuer, Wilford F. Christian, Richard S. 

Cummings, Joseph A. Dean, Jimmy C. 

Killian, Daniel L. Jacobs, Jimmy C. 

Killian, Jose M. Limon-Alvarado, 

Eugene R. Lydick, John W. Montgomery, 

Billy L. Riddle, Scottie Stewart, and 

Artis Suitt. 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315, each renewal exemption will 

be valid for 2 years unless revoked 

earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will 

be revoked if: (1) The person fails to 

comply with the terms and conditions 

of the exemption; (2) the exemption has 

resulted in a lower level of safety than 

was maintained before it was granted; or 

(3) continuation of the exemption would 

not be consistent with the goals and 

objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.
