1The pleadings in this docket were originally 

filed in Docket No. FD 36580 (Sub–No. 1), but given 

that the trackage rights at issue are the same as 

those in Docket No. FD 36486, this proceeding has 

been changed to a subdocket of that original 

proceeding.

BILLING CODE 4710–20–P 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub–No. 3)] 

Decision; Grainbelt Corporation— 

Trackage Rights Exemption—BNSF 

Railway Company 

By petition filed on February 11, 

2022,1 Grainbelt Corporation (GNBC) 

requests that the Board partially revoke 

the trackage rights exemption granted to 

it under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) in Docket 

No. FD 36486 (Sub–No. 2), as necessary 

to permit that trackage rights 

arrangement to expire on March 28, 

2023. GNBC filed its verified notice of 

exemption on February 11, 2022, and 

simultaneously filed its petition for 

partial revocation. Notice of the 

exemption was served and published in 

the Federal Register (87 FR 13,039) on 

March 8, 2022, and the exemption 

became effective on March 22, 2022. 

As explained by GNBC in its verified 

notice of exemption in Docket No. FD 

36486 (Sub–No. 2), GNBC and BNSF 

Railway Company (BNSF) have entered 

into an amendment to extend the term 

of the previously amended, local 

trackage rights on trackage owned by 

BNSF between approximately milepost 

668.73 in Long, Okla., and 

approximately milepost 723.30 in 

Quanah, Tex. (the Line), allowing GNBC 

to (1) use the Line to access the Plains 

Cotton Cooperative Association (PCCA) 

facility near BNSF Chickasha 

Subdivision milepost 688.6 at Altus, 

Okla., and (2) operate additional trains 

on the Line to accommodate the 

movement of trains transporting BNSF 

customers’ railcars (loaded or empty) 

located along the Line, to unit train 

facilities on the Line (collectively, the 

PCCA Trackage Rights). (GNBC Verified 

Notice of Exemption 1–3, Grainbelt 

Corp.—Trackage Rts. Exemption—BNSF 

Ry., FD 36486 (Sub–No. 2).) 

GNBC explains that the trackage 

rights covered by the verified notice in 

Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub–No. 2) are 

local rather than overhead rights and 

therefore they do not qualify for the 

Board’s class exemption for temporary 

trackage rights under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(8). (GNBC Pet. 4.) GNBC 

therefore filed its verified notice of 

exemption under the Board’s class 

exemption procedures at 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(7) and a petition for partial 

revocation of the exemption as 

necessary to permit the PCCA Trackage 

Rights to expire on March 28, 2023, 

pursuant to the parties’ agreement. 

(GNBC Pet 3.) GNBC argues that the 

requested relief will promote the rail 

transportation policy and is limited in 

scope. (Id. at 4–5.) GNBC also asserts 

that the Board has routinely granted 

similar petitions to allow trackage rights 

to expire on a negotiated date. (Id. at 5.) 

Discussion and Conclusions 

Although GNBC and BNSF have 

expressly agreed on the duration of the 

proposed trackage rights, trackage rights 

approved under the class exemption at 

49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) typically remain 

effective indefinitely, regardless of any 

contract provisions. At times, however, 

the Board has partially revoked a 

trackage rights exemption to allow those 

rights to expire after a limited time 

rather than lasting in perpetuity. See, 

e.g., BNSF Ry.—Trackage Rts.

2Because the proposed transaction is of limited 

scope, the Board need not make a market power 

finding. See 49 U.S.C. 10502(a). 

Exemption—Union Pac. R.R., FD 36377 

(Sub–No. 3) (STB served Feb. 23, 2021); 

BNSF Ry.—Trackage Rts. Exemption— 

Union Pac. R.R., FD 36377 (Sub–No. 1) 

(STB served Mar. 11, 2020); New 

Orleans Pub. Belt R.R.—Trackage Rts. 

Exemption—Ill. Cent. R.R., FD 36198 

(Sub–No. 1) (STB served June 20, 2018). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Board 

may exempt a person, class of persons, 

or a transaction or service, in whole or 

in part, when the Board finds that: (1) 

Continued regulation is not necessary to 

carry out the rail transportation policy 

of 49 U.S.C. 10101; and (2) either the 

transaction or service is of limited 

scope, or regulation is not necessary to 

protect shippers from the abuse of 

market power. 

Granting partial revocation in these 

circumstances to permit the trackage 

rights to expire would eliminate the 

need for GNBC to file a second pleading 

seeking discontinuance when the 

agreement expires, thereby promoting 

the rail transportation policy at 49 

U.S.C. 10101(2), (7), and (15). Moreover, 

partially revoking the exemption to 

limit the term of the trackage rights is 

consistent with the limited scope of the 

transaction previously exempted.2

Therefore, the Board will grant the 

petition and permit the trackage rights 

exempted in Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub– 

No. 2) to expire on March 28, 2023. 

To provide the statutorily mandated 

protection to any employee adversely 

affected by the discontinuance of 

trackage rights, the Board will impose 

the employee protective conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad— 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 

91 (1979). 

This action is categorically excluded 

from environmental review under 49 

CFR 1105.6(c). 

It is ordered: 

1. The petition for partial revocation 

of the trackage rights class exemption is 

granted. 

2. As discussed above, the trackage 

rights in Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub–No. 

2) are permitted to expire on March 28, 

2023, subject to the employee protective 

conditions set forth in Oregon Short 

Line Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 91. 

3. Notice of this decision will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

4. This decision is effective on May 6, 

2022. Petitions to stay must be filed by 

April 18, 2022. Petitions for 

reconsideration must be filed by April 

26, 2022. 

Decided: April 5, 2022.

Hedlund, Oberman, Primus, and Schultz.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

[Docket No. FAA–2022–0443] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Procedures for 

Non-Federal Navigation Facilities 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. The collection involves 

aerial navigation aids (NavAids), 

electrical/electronic facilities, owned 

and operated by non-Federal sponsors 

for use by the flying public. ‘‘NonFederal sponsors’’ refers to entities such 

as state and local governments, 

businesses, and private citizens. The 

information to be collected is necessary 

to ensure that operation and 

maintenance of these non-Federally 

owned facilities is in accordance with 

FAA safety standards. The FAA is not 

changing its information-collection 

practices pertaining to non-Federal 

facilities. It is merely renewing its legal 

authority to collect that information. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by June 10, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments: 

By Electronic Docket: 

www.regulations.gov (Enter docket 

number into search field). 

By email: Non-Federal-Program@

faa.gov (Enter docket number into 

subject line). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Natashia Jones by email at: 

Natashia.Jones@faa.gov; phone: (817) 

222–4038. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

collection involves the compilation of: 

• Commissioning data, such as the 

initial standards and tolerances 

parameters for the aerial navigation aids 

(NavAids) and electrical/electronic 

facilities, owned and operated by nonFederal sponsors; 

• Maintenance activities and 

operational history, such as outages and 

repairs, for facilities owned and 

operated by non-Federal sponsors; and 

• The facilities’ periodically verified 

parameters for the life of the facility. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0014. 

Title: Procedures for Non-Federal 

Navigation Facilities. 

Form Numbers: FAA Form 6000–10; 

FAA Form 6000–8; FAA Form 6030–1. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: Title 14 CFR part 171 

establishes procedures and 

requirements for non-Federal sponsors, 

(‘‘non-Federal sponsors’’ refers to 

entities such as state and local 

governments, businesses, and private 

citizens) to purchase, install, operate, 

and maintain electronic NavAids for use 

by the flying public, in the National 

Airspace System (NAS). Part 171 

describes procedures for receiving 

permission to install a facility and 

requirements to keep it in service. 

Documenting the initial parameters 

during commissioning is necessary to 

have a baseline to reference during 

future inspections. Another requirement 

is recording maintenance tasks, removal 

from service, and any other repairs 

performed on these facilities in on-site 

logs to have an accurate history on the 

performance of the facility. In addition, 

at each periodic inspection, recording 

the facilities’ current parameters 

provides performance information for 

the life of the facility. Records must be 

kept on site and the FAA must receive 

copies of the logs. 

Respondents: Approximately 2,200 

non-Federal facilities/respondents. 

Frequency: Information is collected 

(submitted to FAA Inspectors) on 

occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 13.72 hours per year. 

• Form 6000–10, 1.72 hours per 

response 

• Form 6000–8, 30 minutes per 

response
