Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Application Under the Hague 

Convention on the Civil Aspects of 

International Child Abduction (DS–3013 

and DS–3013–s) is used by parents or 

legal guardians who are requesting the 

State Department’s assistance in seeking 

the return of, or access to, a child or 

children alleged to have been 

wrongfully removed from or retained 

outside of the child’s habitual residence 

and currently located in another country 

that is also party to the Hague 

Convention on the Civil Aspects of 

International Child Abduction (the 

Convention). The application requests 

information regarding the identities of 

the applicant, the child or children, and 

the person alleged to have wrongfully 

removed or retained the child or 

children. In addition, the application 

requires that the applicant provide the 

circumstances of the alleged wrongful 

removal or retention and the legal 

justification for the request for return or 

access. The State Department, as the 

U.S. Central Authority for the 

Convention, uses this information to 

establish, if possible, the applicants’ 

claims under the Convention; to inform 

applicants about available remedies 

under the Convention; and to provide 

the information necessary to the foreign 

Central Authority in its efforts to locate 

the child or children, and to facilitate 

return of or access to the child or 

children pursuant to the Convention. 42 

U.S.C. 11608 is the legal authority that 

permits the Department to gather this 

information. 

Methodology 

The completed form DS–3013 and 

DS–3013–s may be submitted to the 

Office of Children’s Issues by mail, by 

fax, or electronically accessed through

by a party or by the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) in its independent investigation) 

cannot be made before the exemption’s effective 

date. See Exemption of Out-of-Serv. Rail Lines, 5 

I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should 

be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may 

take appropriate action before the exemption’s

Abstract of proposed collection: 

The DS–2029, Application for 

Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a 

Citizen of the United States of America, 

is used by citizens of the United States 

to report the birth of their children born 

abroad. The information collected on 

this form will be used to determine 

whether the child born abroad to a U.S. 

citizen parent or parents acquired U.S. 

citizenship at birth. 22 CFR 50.5–50.7 

are important legal authorities that 

permit the Department to use this form. 

Methodology: 

An application for a Consular Report 

of Birth is normally made in the 

consular district in which the birth 

occurred. The parent respondents will 

complete the form and present it to a 

U.S. Embassy or Consulate, where a 

consular officer will examine the 

documentation and enter the 

information provided into the 

Department of State American Citizen 

Services (ACS) electronic database.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. AB 70 (Sub-No. 6X)] 

Florida East Coast Railway, LLC— 

Abandonment Exemption—in MiamiDade County, FL 

Florida East Coast Railway, L.L.C. 

(FEC) has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR part 1152 

subpart F–Exempt Abandonments to 

abandon an approximately 1.21-mile 

rail line on its South Little River Branch 

Line, between mileposts LR 11+3989 

and LR 13+0000 (the Line), in MiamiDade County, Fla. The Line traverse 

U.S. Postal Service Zip Codes 33144 and 

33126. 

FEC states that it plans to abandon the 

Line, salvage the track and materials, 

and convert the property to trail use. 

The proposed consummation date is 

March 11, 2016. 

FEC has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the Line for at 

least two years; (2) any overhead traffic 

can be and has been rerouted over other 

lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by 

a user of rail service on the Line (or by 

a state or local government entity acting 

on behalf of such user) regarding 

cessation of service over the Line either 

is pending with the Surface 

Transportation Board (Board) or with 

any U.S. District Court or has been 

decided in favor of complainant within 

the two-year period; and (4) the 

requirements at 49 CFR 1105.7(c) and 

1105.8(c) (environmental and historic 

report), 49 CFR 1105.11 (transmittal 

letter), 49 CFR 1105.12 (newspaper 

publication), and 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) 

(notice to governmental agencies) have 

been met. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment 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). 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, this 

exemption will become effective on 

March 11, 2016, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues,1

formal expressions of intent to file an 

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),2 and 

interim trail use/rail banking requests 

under 49 CFR 1152.29 must be filed by 

February 22, 2016. Petitions to reopen 

or requests for public use conditions 

under 49 CFR 1152.28 must be filed by 

March 1, 2016, with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. 

A copy of any petition filed with the 

Board should be sent to FEC’s 

representative: Louis E. Gitomer, Law 

Offices of Louis E. Gitomer, LLC, 600 

Baltimore Ave., Suite 301, Towson, MD 

21204. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

FEC has filed a combined 

environmental and historic report that 

addresses the effects, if any, of the 

abandonment on the environment and 

historic resources. OEA will issue an 

environmental assessment (EA) by 

February 12, 2016. Interested persons 

may obtain a copy of the EA by writing 

to OEA (Room 1100, Surface 

Transportation Board, Washington, DC 

20423–0001) or by calling OEA at (202) 

245–0305. Assistance for the hearing 

impaired is available through the 

Federal Information Relay Service at 

(800) 877–8339. Comments on 

environmental and historic preservation 

matters must be filed within 15 days 

after the EA becomes available to the 

public. 

Environmental, historic preservation, 

public use, or interim 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), FEC 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 

FEC’s filing of a notice of consummation 

by February 10, 2017, and there are no 

legal or regulatory barriers to 

consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at 

‘‘WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.’’ 

Decided: February 4, 2016. 

By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, 

Director, Office of Proceedings. 

Brendetta S. Jones, 

Clearance Clerk.
