Request for Information 

Through this notice, we are soliciting 

suggestions for potential policy changes

beneficiaries, SSI recipients, and 

disability program applicants in their 

efforts to return to, remaining in, or 

enter the labor force. We are also 

soliciting suggestions for other potential 

demonstrations. Responses to this 

request may inform our decisions about 

future demonstrations and how to 

design such projects. This notice is for 

our internal planning purposes only and 

should not be construed as a solicitation 

or as an obligation on our part or on the 

part of any participating Federal 

agencies. For each proposed idea, please

increased labor force participation); 

2. The target population (e.g., youth, 

denied applicants, potential applicants, 

new beneficiaries, older applicants); 

3. The specific statute, regulation, or 

other policy being suggested for change, 

if any;

5. The specific reason why the policy 

change or service is expected to achieve 

the policy goal for the target population 

(if available, logic models, theories of 

change, or other aids and evidence 

supporting the proposed policy change 

or service should be included); 

6. The specific partnerships (e.g., 

Department of Labor, State Departments 

of Education, private employers, legal 

aid agencies), if any, we should consider 

to implement the demonstration; and 

7. Any changes to our demonstration 

authorities that would be necessary to 

test the policy change or service.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. AB 310 (Sub-No. 3X)] 

Utah Railway Company— 

Discontinuance of Service 

Exemption—in Carbon and Emery 

Counties, Utah 

On August 30, 2021, Utah Railway 

Company (UTAH), a Class III rail 

carrier, filed a petition under 49 U.S.C. 

10502 for exemption from the prior 

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

10903 to discontinue service over a 

railroad line between approximately 

milepost 0.25 near Helper, Utah, in 

Carbon County and approximately 

milepost 25.3 near Mohrland, Utah, in 

Emery County, a distance of 

approximately 25.05 miles (the Line). 

The Line traverses U.S. Postal Service 

Zip Codes 84526, 84501, 84527, and 

84528. The Line includes stations at 

Martin, at milepost 0.8, and Wildcat, at 

milepost 6.2. 

The petition indicates that the Line is 

stub-ended and only serves a single 

freight customer, Wildcat Midstream 

Limited Partnership (Wildcat 

Midstream).1 (Pet. 5.) UTAH has agreed 

to lease the segment between milepost 

0.2 and milepost 9.0 to Wildcat 

Midstream for Wildcat Midstream’s use 

as a private industrial side track. (Id. at 

3.) Pursuant to that plan, UTAH will 

continue to move rail cars for Wildcat 

Midstream over the leased track and 

will continue to provide common 

carrier switching service to the 

interstate rail network over the 

connecting track between milepost 0.2 

and milepost 0.0. (Id.) 

UTAH asserts that, because it is 

seeking discontinuance rather than an 

abandonment, the question of whether 

the Line contains any federally granted 

rights-of-way is inapplicable. (Id. at 2.) 

UTAH also states that any 

documentation related to title in its 

possession will be made available to 

those requesting it. (Id.) 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

discontinuance of service shall be 

protected under Oregon Short Line 

Railroad—Abandonment Portion 

Goshen Branch Between Firth & 

Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville 

Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). 

By issuance of this notice, the Board 

is instituting an exemption proceeding 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final 

decision will be issued by December 17, 

2021. 

Because this is a discontinuance 

proceeding and not an abandonment, 

interim trail use/rail banking and public 

use conditions are not appropriate. 

Because there will be environmental 

review during any subsequent 

abandonment, this discontinuance does 

not require an environmental review. 

See 49 CFR 1105.6(c)(5), 1105.8(b). 

Any offer of financial assistance 

(OFA) for subsidy under 49 CFR 

1152.27(b)(2) will be due no later than 

120 days after the filing of the petition 

for exemption, or 10 days after service 

of a decision granting the petition for 

exemption, whichever occurs sooner.2

Persons interested in submitting an OFA 

must first file a formal expression of 

intent to file an offer by September 27, 

2021, indicating the intent to file an 

OFA for subsidy and demonstrating that 

they are preliminarily financially 

responsible. See 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(1)(i). 

All filings in response to this notice 

must refer to Docket No. AB 310 (SubNo. 3X) and should be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on UTAH’s representative, 

Justin J. Marks, Clark Hill PLC, 1001 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite 1300 

South, Washington, DC 20004. Replies 

to the petition are due on or before 

October 7, 2021. 

Persons seeking further information 

concerning discontinuance procedures 

may contact the Board’s Office of Public 

Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and 

Compliance at (202) 245–0238 or refer 

to the full abandonment and 

discontinuance regulations at 49 CFR 

part 1152. Questions concerning 

environmental issues may be directed to 

the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis at (202) 245–0294. Assistance

BILLING CODE 4915–01–P 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 34495 (Sub-No. 1)] 

Buckingham Branch Railroad 

Company—Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption with Interchange 

Commitment—CSX Transportation, 

Inc. 

Buckingham Branch Railroad 

Company (BBRC), a Class III rail carrier, 

has filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire from 

CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), and 

continue to operate approximately 

164.22 miles of railroad line, referred to 

as Segment 3, between approximately 

milepost 276.0 in Clifton Forge in 

Allegheny County, Va., and milepost 

111.78 at Doswell in Hanover County, 

Va. (the Line).1

The verified notice indicates that 

BBRC has leased and operated the Line 

(as part of a longer line between AM 

Junction, near Richmond, and Clifton 

Forge) since 2005. According to the 

verified notice, BBRC and CSXT have 

agreed to convert BBRC’s current 

leasehold interest in the Line into a 

permanent, exclusive rail freight 

operating easement. The verified notice 

states that BBRC and CSXT will enter 

into, among other things, a Permanent 

Easement Agreement and an amended 

Freight Operating Agreement and will 

also terminate their existing lease 

agreement with respect to Segment 3. 

The verified notice further states that 

the amended Freight Operating 

Agreement between BBRC and CSXT 

contains an interchange commitment 

that affects interchange with carriers 

other than CSXT. The affected 

interchanges are with Norfolk Southern 

Railway Company at Charlottesville, 

Va., and at Waynesboro, Va. BBRC has 

provided additional information 

regarding the interchange commitment 

as required by 49 CFR 1150.43(h). 

BBRC certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction will not result in BBRC’s 

becoming a Class II or Class I rail 

carrier, but its projected annual 

revenues will exceed $5 million. 

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. Concurrently with its verified 

notice, however, BBRC filed a petition 

for waiver of the labor notice 

requirements. BBRC’s waiver request 

will be addressed in a separate decision. 

BBRC states that it expects to 

consummate the transaction on or 

sometime after the effective date of the 

exemption. The Board will establish the 

effective date in its separate decision on 

the waiver request. 

If the 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 September 24, 

2021. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 34495 (Sub-No. 1), should be filed 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

via e-filing on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on BBRC’s representative, 

Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel 

LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800, 

Chicago, IL 60606. 

According to BBRC, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c) and from historic preservation 

reporting requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.8(b)(1).
