The Commission completed a Privacy

FR 73535 on December 6, 2013. The PIA 

may be reviewed at: http://www.fcc.gov/ 

omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_

Assessment.html. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Some of the requirements contained in 

this information collection does affect 

individuals or households, and thus, 

there are impacts under the Privacy Act. 

The FCC’s system of records notice 

(SORN), FCC/WCB–1, ‘‘Lifeline 

Program.’’ The Commission will use the 

information contained in FCC/WCB–1 

to cover the personally identifiable 

information (PII) that is required as part 

of the Lifeline Program (‘‘Lifeline’’). As 

required by the Privacy Act of 1974, as 

amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 

Commission also published a SORN, 

FCC/WCB–1 ‘‘Lifeline Program’’ in the 

Federal Register on December 6, 2013 

(78 FR 73535). 

Also, respondents may request 

materials or information submitted to 

the Commission or to the Universal 

Service Administrative Company 

(USAC or Administrator) be withheld 

from public inspection under 47 CFR 

0.459 of the FCC’s rules. We note that 

USAC must preserve the confidentiality 

of all data obtained from respondents; 

must not use the data except for 

purposes of administering the universal 

service programs; and must not disclose 

data in company-specific form unless 

directed to do so by the Commission. 

Needs and Uses: In June 2015, the 

Commission adopted an order reforming 

its low-income universal service 

support mechanisms. Lifeline and Link

of Proposed Rulemaking, Order on 

Reconsideration, Second Report and 

Order, and Memorandum Opinion and 

Order, (Lifeline Second Reform Order). 

This revised information collection 

addresses requirements to carry out the 

reforms to which the Commission 

committed itself in the Lifeline Second 

Reform Order. Under this information 

collection, the Commission will 

implement the revised rules adopted in 

the 2015 Lifeline Second Reform Order, 

regarding the retention of subscriber 

eligibility documentation, eligible 

telecommunications carrier (ETC) 

designation, and ETC reimbursement 

under the Lifeline program; update the 

number of respondents for all the 

existing information collection 

requirements, thus increasing the total 

burden hours for some requirements 

and decreasing the total burden hours 

for other requirements; eliminate some 

requirements as part of this information 

collection, because they are no longer 

applicable; revise the FCC Form 555 and 

the accompanying instructions to 

require ETCs to provide a Service 

Provider Identification Number (SPIN); 

and make non-substantive changes to 

this information collection, pursuant to 

44 U.S.C. 3507, to update the FCC Form 

497 Instructions. These updates do not 

modify the burdens or costs contained 

in this information collection.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

49 CFR Part 1180 

[Docket No. EP 714] 

Information Required in Notices and 

Petitions Containing Interchange 

Commitments 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation 

Board (STB or Board) is issuing a final 

rule to insert language that was 

inadvertently omitted when an 

amended rule was promulgated on 

September 5, 2013. This decision is 

effective on its date of publication. 

DATES: This rule is effective on February 

17, 2016.

Assistance for the hearing impaired is 

available through the Federal 

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 

(800) 877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 5, 2013, the Board, with Vice 

Chairman Begeman dissenting, adopted 

final rules that established additional 

disclosure requirements for notices and 

petitions for exemption where the 

underlying lease or line sale includes an 

interchange commitment. Information 

Required in Notices and Petitions 

Containing Interchange Commitments 

(2013 Final Rules), EP 714 (STB served 

Sept. 5, 2013). Interchange 

commitments are ‘‘contractual 

provisions included with a sale or lease 

of a rail line that limit the incentive or 

the ability of the purchaser or tenant 

carrier to interchange traffic with rail 

carriers other than the seller or lessor 

railroad.’’ Review of Rail Access & 

Competition Issues—Renewed Pet. of 

the W. Coal Traffic League, EP 575, slip 

op. at 1 (STB served Oct. 30, 2007). The 

purpose of this rulemaking was to 

improve the ability of the Board and 

affected parties to determine at the 

outset whether a transaction that 

includes an interchange commitment is 

appropriate for the exemption process 

or raises competitive issues that require 

a more detailed examination. 

The 2013 Final Rules’ addition of a 

requirement to certify the existence of 

any interchange commitments was 

intended to apply to all notices and 

petitions for exemption involving 

transactions where the underlying lease 

or line sale could include an 

interchange commitment. 2013 Final 

Rules 1, 3. The Board included such 

language in the amended versions of 

1121.3(d)(1), 1150.33(h)(1), and 

1150.43(h)(1). Due to an oversight, 

however, the introductory language of 

49 CFR 1180.4(g)(4)(i) was not modified. 

This inadvertent error will now be 

addressed by amending 49 CFR 

1180.4(g)(4)(i). Specifically, 49 CFR 

1180.4(g)(4)(i) will now state that the 

filing party must certify whether or not 

a proposed acquisition or operation of a 

rail line involves a provision or 

agreement that may limit future 

interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier, whether by outright 

prohibition, per-car penalty, adjustment 

in the purchase price or rental, positive
