(OMB Number: 2132–0565) 

Background: 49 U.S.C. 5317, the New 

Freedom Program, authorizes the 

Secretary of Transportation to make 

grants to States for areas with a 

population of less than 200,000 and 

designated recipients in urbanized areas 

of 200,000 persons or greater to reduce 

barriers to transportation services and 

expand the transportation mobility 

options available to people with 

disabilities beyond the requirements of 

the Americans with Disabilities Act 

(ADA) of 1990. Grant recipients are 

required to make information available 

to the public and to publish a program 

of projects which identifies the 

subrecipients and projects for which the 

State or designated recipient is applying 

for financial assistance. FTA uses the 

information to determine eligibility for 

funding and to monitor the grantees’ 

progress in implementing and 

completing project activities. FTA 

collects performance information 

annually from designated recipients in 

rural areas, small urbanized areas, other 

direct recipients for small urbanized 

areas, and designated recipients in 

urbanized areas of 200,000 persons or 

greater. FTA collects milestone and 

financial status reports from designated 

recipients in large urbanized areas on a 

quarterly basis. The information 

submitted ensures FTA’s compliance 

with applicable Federal laws and OMB 

Circular A–102. 

Respondents: State and local 

government, private non-profit 

organizations and public transportation 

authorities. 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 251 hours for each of the

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

122,374 hours.

[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– 

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on Richard R.
