material went into solution when agitated. 

We simply needed to make sure that the 

test material was not just decanted brake 

fluid without ‘‘crystals.’’ When agitated, 

‘‘crystals’’ or ‘‘slush-like crystallization’’

was not seen. 

—Warming: In DOT Chemical’s petition the 

phrase ‘‘when the fluid is subjected to 

temperatures in a normal braking system, 

the crystals go back into solution in some 

cases not to reappear at all at ambient 

temperatures’’ we believe implied the 

warming scenario mentioned in the 

granted petition cases. 

—In the case of the granted petitions stating 

that ‘‘its ‘slush-like crystallization’ does 

not consist of ‘crystals that are either 

water-based ice, abrasive, or have the 

potential to clog brake system 

components’ ’’ we believe implies the same 

thing as our statements ‘‘There is no 

contamination in this fluid’’ and ‘‘the 

crystals are a natural part (no 

contamination.’’

—In the case of the granted petitions stating 

that ‘‘the crystallization that occurred 

ought not to have an adverse effect upon 

braking’’ we believe is carried to an 

additional degree by DOT Chemical’s 

testing of the material at –40 °F through the 

viscometer (with dimensions and drawing 

provided) and stating that the diameter is 

much smaller than brake system lines. 

Specific phrases in DOT Chemical’s appeal 

are ‘‘The crystals presented no problems 

with obstruction,’’ ‘‘results again showed 

no obstruction,’’ and ‘‘have not 

demonstrated any flow restrictions even at 

extended periods of low temperatures at 

minus 40 °F.’’ Much time was spent on the 

flow and low temperatures because all tests 

passed except partial test failures 

concerning sedimentation and low 

temperatures.

[Docket No. NHTSA–2005–22236] 

Annual List of Defect and 

Noncompliance Decisions Affecting 

Nonconforming Imported Vehicles 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Annual list of defect and 

noncompliance decisions affecting 

nonconforming vehicles imported by 

registered importers. 

SUMMARY: This document contains a list 

of vehicles recalled by their 

manufacturers during Calendar Year 

2004 (January 1, 2004 through December 

31, 2004) to correct a safety-related 

defect or a noncompliance with an 

applicable Federal motor vehicle safety 

standard (FMVSS). The listed vehicles 

are those that NHTSA has decided are 

substantially similar to vehicles 

imported into the United States that 

were not originally manufactured and 

certified to conform to all applicable 

FMVSS. The registered importers of 

those nonconforming vehicles are 

required to provide their owners with 

notification of, and a remedy for, the 

defects or noncompliances for which 

the listed vehicles were recalled. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Coleman Sachs, Office of Vehicle Safety 

Compliance, NHTSA (202–366–3151). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49 

U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle 

that was not originally manufactured to 

conform to all applicable Federal motor 

vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) shall 

be refused admission into the United 

States unless NHTSA has decided that 

the motor vehicle is substantially 

similar to a motor vehicle of the same 

model year that was originally 

manufactured for importation into and 

sale in the United States and certified 

under 49 U.S.C. 30115. Once NHTSA 

decides that a nonconforming vehicle is 

eligible for importation, it may be 

imported by a person who is registered 

with the agency pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

30141(c). Before releasing the vehicle 

for use on public streets, roads, or 

highways, the registered importer must 

certify to NHTSA, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

30146(a), that the vehicle has been 

brought into conformity with all 

applicable FMVSS. 

If a vehicle originally manufactured 

for importation into and sale in the 

United States is decided to contain a 

defect related to motor vehicle safety, or 

not to comply with an applicable 

FMVSS, 49 U.S.C. 30147(a)(1)(A) 

provides that the same defect or 

noncompliance is deemed to exist in 

any nonconforming vehicle that NHTSA 

has decided to be substantially similar 

and for which a registered importer has 

submitted a certificate of conformity to 

the agency. Under 49 U.S.C. 

30147(a)(1)(B), the registered importer is 

deemed to be the nonconforming 

vehicle’s manufacturer for the purpose 

of providing notification of, and a 

remedy for, the defect or 

noncompliance. 

To apprise registered importers of the 

vehicles for which they must conduct a 

notification and remedy (i.e., ‘‘recall’’) 

campaign, 49 U.S.C. 30147(a)(2) 

requires NHTSA to publish in the 

Federal Register notice of any defect or 

noncompliance decision that is made 

with respect to substantially similar 

U.S. certified vehicles. Annex A 

contains a list of all such decisions that 

were made during Calendar Year 2004. 

The list identifies the Recall Number 

that was assigned to the recall by 

NHTSA after the agency received the 

manufacturer’s notification of the defect 

or noncompliance under 49 CFR part 

573. After December 31, 2005, NHTSA 

will publish a comparable list of all 

defect and noncompliance decisions 

affecting nonconforming imported 

vehicles that are made during the 

current calendar year. 

Under 49 U.S.C. 30120(a), a 

manufacturer may remedy a safetyrelated defect or noncompliance in a 

motor vehicle by repairing the vehicle, 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 170 / Friday, September 2, 2005 / Notices 52471 

replacing the vehicle with an identical 

or reasonably equivalent vehicle, or by 

refunding the purchase price, less a 

reasonable allowance for depreciation. 

For each of the vehicles listed, the 

manufacturer elected to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance by repair, and 

not by replacing the vehicle or by 

refunding the purchase price. 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30147(a)(2); 49 CFR 

593.8; delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 

and 501.8.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Finance Docket No. 34738] 

Paducah & Louisville Railway, Inc.—

Acquisition—CSX Transportation, Inc. 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, 

DOT. 

ACTION: Decision No. 2 in STB Finance 

Docket No. 34738; Notice of Acceptance 

of Primary Application and Related 

Filings; Issuance of Procedural 

Schedule.1

SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation 

Board (Board) is accepting for 

consideration: the primary application 

filed August 3, 2005, by Paducah & 

Louisville Railway, Inc. (P&L) and CSX 

Transportation, Inc. (CSXT); the SubNo. 1 related filing filed August 3, 2005, 

by Evansville Western Railway, Inc. 

(EVWR); and the Sub-No. 2 related filing 

filed August 3, 2005, by Four Rivers 

Transportation, Inc. (FRTI) and P&L. 

The primary application seeks Board 

approval under 49 U.S.C. 11321–26 for 

P&L’s acquisition of an approximately 

124.5-mile CSXT line (the EvansvilleOkawville Line or the Line) running 

between Evansville, IN (milepost OOH–

324.0), and Okawville, IL (milepost 

OOH–445.7), including the 2.8-mile Mt. 

Vernon Branch (at Mt. Vernon, IN, 

between milepost OZJ–300 and milepost 

OZJ–302.8). The proposal is for P&L to 

purchase the track, ties, switches, and 

other track material (the improvements) 

and to lease for 20 years (with a 5-year 

extension available) the real property. 

This proposal is referred to as the P&L 

Transaction, and FRTI/P&L/EVWR2 and 

CSXT are referred to collectively as 

applicants. 

The related filings seek authority for 

P&L to immediately transfer the 

improvements and assign its lease of the 

real property to its newly created 

wholly owned subsidiary, EVWR. This 

proposal is referred to as the EVWR 

Transaction, and the P&L Transaction 

and the EVWR Transaction are referred 

to collectively as the P&L/EVWR 

Transaction. The Sub-No. 1 filing seeks 

an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 

and 49 CFR 1150.31 to permit EVWR to 

purchase the improvements, take 

assignment of the lease of the real 

property, and operate the Line. The SubNo. 2 filing seeks an exemption under 

49 U.S.C. 10502 and 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(2) to permit P&L to continue 

in control of EVWR, and to permit FRTI 

to continue in control of P&L and 

EVWR, when EVWR becomes a rail 

carrier upon acquisition of the Line. 

The Board finds that the P&L 

Transaction is a ‘‘minor transaction’’

under 49 CFR 1180.2(c), and the Board 

adopts a procedural schedule for 

consideration of the primary application 

and the related filings, under which the 

Board’s final decision would be issued 

on December 12, 2005. 

DATES: The effective date of this 

decision is September 2, 2005. Any 

person who wishes to participate in this 

proceeding as a party of record (POR)

2005, a notice of intent to participate. 

All comments, protests, requests for 

conditions, and any other evidence and

application or either of the related 

filings, including filings by the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. 

Department of Transportation (DOT), 

must be filed by October 12, 2005. 

Responses to comments, protests, 

requests for conditions, and other 

opposition, and rebuttal in support of 

the primary application or either of the 

related filings must be filed by October 

27, 2005. If a public hearing or oral 

argument is held, it will be held the
