Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 224 / Tuesday, November 22, 2005 / Notices 70659 

Promoting activation; attracting 

attention to the efforts of unauthorized 

persons to enter or operate a vehicle by 

means other than a key; preventing 

defeat or circumvention of the device by 

unauthorized persons; preventing 

operation of the vehicle by 

unauthorized entrants; and ensuring the 

reliability and durability of the device. 

As required by 49 U.S.C. 33106 and 

49 CFR 543.6 (a)(4) and (5), the agency 

finds that DaimlerChrysler has provided 

adequate reasons for its belief that the 

antitheft device will reduce and deter 

theft. This conclusion is based on the 

information DaimlerChrysler provided 

about its device. For the foregoing 

reasons, the agency hereby grants in full 

DaimlerChrysler petition for exemption 

for the vehicle line from the partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR Part 

541. 

If DaimlerChrysler decides not to use 

the exemption for this line, it must 

formally notify the agency, and, 

thereafter, the line must be fully marked 

as required by 49 CFR Parts 541.5 and 

541.6 (marking of major component 

parts and replacement parts). 

NHTSA notes that if DaimlerChrysler 

wishes in the future to modify the 

device on which this exemption is 

based, the company may have to submit 

a petition to modify the exemption. Part 

543.7(d) states that a Part 543 exemption 

applies only to vehicles that belong to 

a line exempted under this part and 

equipped with the anti-theft device on 

which the line’s exemption is based. 

Further, ‘‘543.9(c)(2) provides for the 

submission of petitions ‘‘to modify an 

exemption to permit the use of an 

antitheft device similar to but differing 

from the one specified in that 

exemption.’’

The agency wishes to minimize the 

administrative burden that Part 

543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted 

vehicle manufacturers and itself. The 

agency did not intend Part 543 to 

require the submission of a modification 

petition for every change to the 

components or design of an antitheft 

device. The significance of many such 

changes could be de minimis. Therefore, 

NHTSA suggests that if the 

manufacturer contemplates making any 

changes the effects of which might be 

characterized as de minimis, it should 

consult the agency before preparing and 

submitting a petition to modify.

The transaction was scheduled to be 

consummated on November 10, 2005, 

and the temporary trackage rights will

purpose of the temporary trackage rights 

is to allow BNSF to bridge its trains 

while its main lines are out of service 

due to programmed track, roadbed, and 

structural maintenance. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee affected by the acquisition of 

the temporary trackage rights will be 

protected by the conditions imposed in 

Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.—Trackage 

Rights—BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 

modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—

Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 

(1980), and any employee affected by 

the discontinuance of those trackage 

rights will be protected by the 

conditions set out in Oregon Short Line 

R. Co.—Abandonment—Goshen, 360 

I.C.C. 91 (1979). 

This notice is filed under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(8). If it 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 transaction. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 34778, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 1925 

K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423–

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on Michael E. 

Roper, Senior General Attorney, BNSF 

Railway Company, P.O. Box 961039,
