According to the verified notice, UP is 

the current operator of the Line. CORP 

states that it has entered into an 

agreement with UP to lease and operate 

the Line. 

CORP certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction will not exceed those that 

would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier 

but its annual revenues currently exceed 

$5,000,000. Pursuant to 49 CFR 

1150.42(e), if a carrier’s projected 

annual revenues will exceed $5 million, 

it must, at least 60 days before the 

exemption becomes effective, post a 

notice of its intent to undertake the 

proposed transaction at the workplace 

of the employees on the affected lines, 

serve a copy of the notice on the 

national offices of the labor unions with 

employees on the affected lines, and 

certify to the Board that it has done so. 

In an exhibit attached to its verified 

notice of exemption, CORP certified that 

notice of the transaction was posted at 

the workplaces of current UP employees 

on the Line on December 10, 2024, and 

that it was concurrently serving a copy 

of the certification and the verified 

notice on the national offices of the 

labor unions for those employees. 

According to the verified notice, the 

lease contains an interchange 

commitment. CORP has provided 

additional information regarding the 

interchange commitment, as required by 

49 CFR 1150.43(h).2

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is February 8, 2025 (60 

days after the certification under 49 CFR 

1150.42(e) was filed). 

If the verified notice 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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than January 31, 2025. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36818, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board either via 

e-filing on the Board’s website or in 

writing addressed to 395 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on CORP’s representative, Eric 

M. Hocky, Clark Hill PLC, Two 

Commerce Square, 2001 Market Street,

environmental review under 49 CFR

reporting requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.8(b).

Title: Relocation Assistance Personal

as amended (Uniform Act). 

Background: This program 

implements 42 U.S.C. 4602, concerning 

acquisition of real property and 

relocation assistance for persons 

displaced by FHWA Federal and 

federally assisted programs. It requires 

the provision of relocation assistance 

and payments to U.S. citizens and 

persons legally present in the United 

States. The information collected 

consists of a personal interview of 

affected persons to establish eligibility 

for relocation assistance and payments. 

Displacing agencies will request each 

person who is to be displaced by a 

FHWA Federal or federally assisted 

project to voluntarily assist the agency 

in determining the benefits that their 

household, business, farm, or non-profit 

organization may be eligible to receive 

through the personal interview to 

determine their needs and preferences 

related to the move. This information is 

not required from the displaced person 

for the agency to proceed. 

Respondents: Any of the 56 State 

Departments of Transportations (52, 

including the District of Columbia, 

Puerto Rico), and the United States 

territories of American Samoa, Guam, N. 

Mariana Is., and the Virgin Islands of 

the United States (4 territories), local 

government agencies, persons 

administering projects or programs 

receiving financial assistance for 

expenditures of Federal funds on 

acquisition and relocation payments 

and required services to displaced 

persons that are subject to the 

Relocation Assistance and Real Property 

Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as 

amended, (Uniform Act) for 

determination of Uniform Act relocation 

program benefit amounts, and file 

maintenance. 

Frequency: The information will be 

collected once per displacement of a 

household, business, farm, or non-profit 

organization. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 1 hour per respondent per 

personal interview. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: It is expected that there is an 

estimated total of 4,600 annual burden 

hours.

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be

electronic technology, without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

The agency will summarize and/or

collection.
