Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Secretary of State is authorized to 

issue U.S. passports under 22 U.S.C. 

211a et seq., 8 U.S.C. 1104, and 

Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966). 

Department regulations provide that 

individuals whose valid or potentially 

valid U.S. passports were lost or stolen 

must report the lost or stolen passport 

to the Department of State before 

receiving a new passport so that the lost 

or stolen passport can be invalidated (22 

CFR parts 50 and 51). The Enhanced 

Border Security and Visa Entry Reform 

Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 1737) requires the 

Department of State to collect accurate 

information on lost or stolen U.S. 

passports and to enter that information 

into a data system. Form DS–64 collects 

information identifying the person who 

held the valid lost or stolen passport 

and describing the circumstances under 

which the passport was lost or stolen. 

As required by the cited authorities, we 

use the information collected to 

accurately identify the passport that 

must be invalidated and to make a 

record of the circumstances surrounding 

the lost or stolen passport. 

Methodology 

Passport bearers may submit their 

form electronically on 

www.travel.state.gov or call the National 

Passport Information Center at 1–877– 

487–2778. A person may also download 

the form from the internet or obtain one 

at any passport agency or acceptance 

facility.

Mississippi Central Railroad Co.— 

Amended Lease and Operation 

Exemption—Line of Tishomingo 

County, Mississippi 

Mississippi Central Railroad Co. 

(MSCI), a Class III rail carrier, has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to renew its lease and 

continue to operate a line of railroad 

owned by, and located in, Tishomingo 

County, Miss., between Norfolk 

Southern Railway Company’s Iuka Wye 

at milepost 0.0 and the Tri-State 

Commerce Park at milepost 10.0 (the 

Line). 

According to the verified notice, 

MSCI has leased and operated the Line 

since 2009.1 MSCI states that the lease 

for the Line expired on December 31, 

2019, and that, pursuant to a recently 

signed Rail Line Lease & Operating 

Agreement (Agreement), the parties 

have agreed to extend the lease through 

December 31, 2023, with the option for 

MSCI thereafter to extend the lease for 

two additional four-year terms in 

accordance with the terms of the 

Agreement. MSCI states that it will 

continue to operate and provide 

common carrier service to shippers on 

the Line. 

MSCI certifies that its projected 

annual revenues from this transaction 

will not result in its becoming a Class 

I or Class II rail carrier and will not 

exceed $5 million. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is June 26, 2021, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

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 to stay must be 

filed no later than June 18, 2021. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 35258 (Sub-No. 1), should be filed 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

via e-filing on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on MSCI’s representative, 

William A. Mullins, Baker & Miller 

PLLC, 2401 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 

Suite 300, Washington, DC 20037. 

According to MSCI, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR
