Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 121 / Friday, June 24, 2022 / Notices 37903 

1A redacted version of the trackage rights 

agreement between TPW and KJ was filed with the 

verified notice. An unredacted version of the 

agreement was submitted to the Board under seal 

concurrently with a motion for protective order, 

which is addressed in a separate decision. 

pursuant to E.O. 14043. The Department 

will also not request the submission of 

any medical information related to a 

request for an exception from the 

vaccination requirement pursuant to 

E.O. 14043 while the injunction remains 

in place. But the Department may 

nevertheless receive information 

regarding a medical exception. That is 

because, if the Department were to 

receive a request for an exception from 

the COVID–19 vaccination requirement 

pursuant to E.O. 14043 during the 

pendency of the injunction, the 

Department will accept the request, 

hold it in abeyance, and notify the 

employee who submitted the request 

that implementation and enforcement of 

the COVID–19 vaccination requirement 

pursuant to E.O. 14043 is currently 

enjoined and that an exception therefore 

is not necessary so long as the 

injunction is in place. In other words, 

during the pendency of the injunction, 

any information collection related to 

requests for medical exception from the 

COVID–19 vaccination requirement 

pursuant to E.O. 14043 is not 

undertaken to implement or enforce the 

COVID–19 vaccination requirement.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 11770] 

Designation of Anton Thulin as a 

Specially Designated Global Terrorist 

Acting under the authority of and in 

accordance with section 1(a)(ii)(A) of 

E.O. 13224 of September 23, 2001, as 

amended by E.O. 13268 of July 2, 2002, 

E.O. 13284 of January 23, 2003, and E.O. 

13886 of September 9, 2019, I hereby 

determine that the person known as 

Anton Thulin has committed, attempted 

to commit, poses a significant risk of 

committing, and has participated in 

training to commit acts of terrorism that 

threaten the security of U.S. nationals or 

the national security, foreign policy, or 

economy of the United States. 

Consistent with the determination in 

section 10 of E.O. 13224 that prior 

notice to persons determined to be 

subject to the Order who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States would render ineffectual the 

blocking and other measures authorized 

in the Order because of the ability to 

transfer funds instantaneously, I 

determine that no prior notice needs to 

be provided to any person subject to this 

determination who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States, because to do so would render 

ineffectual the measures authorized in 

the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register. 

(Authority: E.O. 13224) 

Dated: November 5, 2021.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36617] 

Toledo, Peoria & Western Railway 

Corp.—Trackage Rights Exemption— 

Keokuk Junction Railway Co. 

Toledo, Peoria & Western Railway 

Corp. (TPW), a Class III rail carrier, has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) for overhead 

trackage rights over approximately 3.9 

miles of rail line owned by Keokuk 

Junction Railway Company (KJ) between 

the Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP) interchange at milepost 118.5, near 

Hollis (a/k/a Sommer), Ill., and milepost 

122.4, near Mapleton, Ill. (the Line). 

TPW and KJ have entered into a 

written trackage rights agreement that 

grants TPW trackage rights over the 

Line, allowing TPW to access the TPWowned Mapleton Industrial Spur on one 

end of the Line and trackage rights it 

holds over a UP line on the other end 

of the Line.1

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after July 9, 2022, the effective 

date of the exemption. 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of its 

employees. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c) 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under 49 U.S.C. 11324 and 

11325 that involve only Class III rail 

carriers. Because this transaction 

involves Class III rail carriers only, the 

Board, under the statute, may not 

impose labor protective conditions for 

this transaction. 

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 July 1, 2022 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36617, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling 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 TPW’s representative, Eric 

M. Hocky, Clark Hill PLC, Two 

Commerce Square, 2001 Market St., 

Suite 2620, Philadelphia, PA 19103. 

According to TPW, 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).

CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR part 1152 subpart F—

approximately 0.13-mile rail line that 

runs between Val Sta. 12+37 and Val 

Sta. 19+52 on its Atlanta Division, 

Abbeville Subdivision, Lawrenceville

Line). The Line traverses U.S. Postal 

Service Zip Code 30046. 

CSXT has certified that: (1) no freight 

traffic has moved over the Line for the 

prior two years; (2) because it is not a

need to be rerouted as a result of the 

proposed abandonment; (3) no formal 

complaint filed by a user of rail service 

on the Line (or by state or local 

government on behalf of such user)

Oregon Short Line Railroad— 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

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

91 (1979). To address whether this 

condition adequately protects affected 

employees, a petition for partial 

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received,1

this exemption will be effective on July 

24, 2022, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues 2 must 

be filed by July 1, 2022. Formal 

expressions of intent to file an OFA 

under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) and interim 

trail use/rail banking requests under 49 

CFR 1152.29 must be filed by July 5, 

2022.3 Petitions to reopen or requests 

for public use conditions under 49 CFR 

1152.28 must be filed by July 14, 2022. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

AB 55 (Sub-No. 808X), must be filed

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

CSXT has filed a combined 

environmental and historic report that 

addresses the potential effects, if any, of 

the abandonment on the environment 

and historic resources. OEA will issue a 

Draft Environmental Assessment (Draft 

EA) by July 1, 2022. The Draft EA will 

be available to interested persons on the 

Board’s website, by writing to OEA, or 

by calling OEA at (202) 245–0294. 

Assistance for the hearing impaired is

Environmental, historic preservation, 

public use, or trail use/rail banking 

conditions will be imposed, where 

appropriate, in a subsequent decision. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29(e)(2), CSXT shall file a notice of 

consummation with the Board to signify 

that it has exercised the authority 

granted and fully abandoned the Line. If 

consummation has not been effected by

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2010–0100] 

Petition for Extension of Waiver of 

Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on May 31, 2022, Brownsville & Rio 

Grande International Railway, LLC 

(BRG) petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) to extend a 

waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of the Federal railroad safety 

regulations contained at 49 CFR part 

215 (Railroad Freight Car Safety 

Standards) and § 232.205, Class I Brake 

Test—Initial Terminal Inspection. FRA 

assigned the petition Docket Number 

FRA–2010–0100. 

Specifically, BRG seeks to retain relief 

that permits BRG to pick up trains 

received in interchange at the U.S./ 

Mexico border from Kansas City 

Southern de Mexico Railway (KCSM) 

via Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP) at UP’s Olmito Yard in Olmito, 

Texas (in lieu of BRG’s interchange 

point with UP at milepost (MP) 4.48), 

and move them to perform the required 

FRA inspections (see Docket Number 

FRA–2007–28340). BRG’s existing relief 

states that the inspection location is on 

BRG’s South Lead on the Palo Alto 

Subdivision, between MPs 2.0 and 3.0. 

In this request, BRG seeks to modify the 

inspection location to between MPs 1.0 

and 3.0. 

In support of its petition, BRG states 

the extension would help expedite any 

delays caused by required port of entry 

inspections and other unforeseen 

delays. It would also provide capacity to 

process two inbound trains back-toback, allowing for more efficient use of 

bridge windows. BRG further states that 

the change will support the ongoing 

extensive growth in the Rio Grande 

Valley. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment and a 

public hearing, they should notify FRA, 

in writing, before the end of the 

comment period and specify the basis 

for their request. 

All communications concerning these 

proceedings should identify the 

appropriate docket number and may be 

submitted at http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Communications received by August 

8, 2022 will be considered by FRA 

before final action is taken. Comments 

received after that date will be 

considered if practicable. 

Anyone can search the electronic 

form of any written communications
