Title: National Child Restraint Use 

Special Study (NCRUSS). 

OMB Number: 2127–0642. 

Type of Request: Request for public 

comment on proposed collection of 

information. 

Abstract: The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

proposes to conduct information 

collections to assess the levels of child 

restraint system use and misuse for 

children riding in passenger vehicles, 

and to examine whether the levels of 

use and/or misuse are related to any 

specific characteristics of the drivers, 

their passengers, the child restraints, 

and/or the vehicles. Previous studies 

have shown that there is a gap between 

recommended child restraint use and 

observed use. Actions have been taken 

by NTHSA to close the gap. In March 

1999, NHTSA published a final rule 

establishing a uniform child restraint 

attachment system known as LATCH, 

Lower Anchors and Tethers for 

CHildren (Federal Motor Vehicles Safety 

Standard 213, Child Restraint Systems 

and FMVSS 225, Child Restraint 

Anchorage Systems), in order to provide 

another, easier method of attaching a 

child restraint to the vehicle. This new 

collection of data is necessary in order 

to evaluate the effectiveness of FMVSS 

225 and FMVSS 213, as well as to 

obtain an up to date snapshot of child 

restraint use and misuse across the 

United States. This information will be 

used in assessing what additional 

actions NHTSA should take to improve 

child passenger safety. In addition, 

NTHSA will publish the findings of this 

research study to provide information to 

States, localities, and other interested 

organizations in support of their efforts 

to reduce and prevent injuries among 

child occupants. NHTSA proposes to 

collect observational data on correct and 

incorrect use of child restraint systems 

in passenger vehicles, as well as 

interview information from drivers 

about their knowledge and perceptions 

of child restraint systems. The primary 

population for observation will be 

restrained and unrestrained child 

passengers riding in any seating 

position in passenger vehicles. 

Participation in the study will be 

voluntary. Interviews with drivers who 

agree to participate will be used to 

obtain the following data: demographic 

information on occupants, the driver’s 

knowledge about the specific CRS in the 

vehicle, and the driver’s general 

knowledge and experience with 

different types of restraint systems. 

While the interview is being conducted, 

a trained observer will collect 

information about the CRS in the 

vehicle, including the type of restraint 

that is used, the type of installation (seat 

belt or LATCH), how the CRS is 

installed, harness use, and seat belt fit. 

The observer will not remove the child 

or CRS from the vehicle. 

Affected Public: Drivers of passenger 

vehicles who are transporting children 

and their passengers. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 880 

hours. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725–17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective if 

OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35403] 

Patriot Rail, LLC, Patriot Rail Holdings 

LLC, and Patriot Rail Corp.— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Piedmont & Northern Railway, Inc. 

Patriot Rail, LLC (PRL) and its 

subsidiaries, Patriot Rail Holdings LLC 

(PRH) and Patriot Rail Corp. (Patriot), 

have jointly filed a verified notice of 

exemption to continue in control of 

Piedmont & Northern Railway, Inc. 

(P&N), upon P&N’s becoming a Class III 

rail carrier.1

This transaction is related to the 

verified notice of exemption filed in 

Docket No. FD 35402, Piedmont & 

Northern Railway, Inc.—Operation 

Exemption—North Carolina Department 

of Transportation, in which P&N seeks 

an exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to 

operate over approximately 13.04 miles 

of rail line owned by the North Carolina 

Department of Transportation, between 

Mt. Holly (milepost SFC 11.39) and 

Gastonia (milepost SFC 23.0), including 

the Belmont spur between Mt. Holly 

(milepost SFC 13.6/SFF 0.13) and 

Belmont (milepost SFF 1.56), in Gaston 

County, N.C. 

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or after September 11, 

2010 (30 days after the notice of 

exemption was filed). 

Patriot currently controls the 

following six Class III rail carriers: 

Tennessee Southern Railroad Company, 

Rarus Railway Company, Utah Central 

Railway Company, Sacramento Valley 

Railroad, Inc., The Louisiana and North

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / Notices 53735 

West Railroad Company LLC, and 

Temple & Central Texas Railway, Inc. 

The parties state that: (1) The rail line 

to be operated by P&N does not connect 

with any other railroads in the corporate 

family; (2) the transaction is not part of 

a series of anticipated transactions that 

would connect this rail line with any 

other railroad in the corporate family; 

and (3) the transaction does not involve 

a Class I rail carrier. Therefore, the 

transaction is exempt from the prior 

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of its 

employees. Section 11326(c), however, 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under sections 11324 and 

11325 that involve only Class III rail 

carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not 

impose labor protective conditions here, 

because all of the carriers involved are 

Class III carriers. 

If the verified 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 for stay must 

be filed no later than September 3, 2010 

(at least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35403, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on Louis E. Gitomer, 600 

Baltimore Ave., Suite 301, Towson, MD 

21204.

Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement will be 

prepared for transportation 

improvements proposed in Cuyahoga 

County, Ohio. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laura S. Leffler, Division Administrator, 

Federal Highway Administration, 200 

North High Street, Room 328, 

Columbus, Ohio 43215, Telephone: 

(614) 280–6896. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA), in cooperation with the Ohio 

Department of Transportation (ODOT), 

will prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) on a proposal to 

construct new roadways on new 

alignments between Interstate 490 and 

the University Circle area of Cleveland, 

Ohio. The study area extends from 

Interstate 77/Interstate 490 in the west 

to East 105th Street and Chester Avenue 

(U.S. 322) in the east and is located 

entirely in the City of Cleveland, Ohio. 

The study area runs generally parallel to 

the existing railroad transportation 

corridor containing Greater Cleveland 

Regional Transit Authority’s (GCRTA) 

Red Line and freight tracks owned and 

operated by Norfolk Southern 

Corporation (NS) and CSX Corporation 

(CSX). 

The purpose of the transportation 

improvement is to create the 

transportation infrastructure to improve 

mobility and access in southeast 

Cleveland and support the revival and 

redevelopment of large tracts of vacant 

industrial and residential land within 

an area bounded by Cedar Avenue on 

the north, east 55th Street on the West, 

Woodhill Road/East 93rd Street on the 

east and Union Avenue on the south. 

Actions under consideration include 

(1) six various alternatives to construct 

a boulevard type roadway including a 

multi-lane urban arterial with curbs, an 

elevated landscape median, multimodal facilities, landscaping and 

lighting, and (2) taking no action. The 

current six various alternatives have 

been born out of a previous planning 

study called the University Circle 

Access Boulevard. The project 

development process including the 

refinement of Conceptual Alternatives 

and the development of Feasible 

Alternatives will be included in the 

Draft EIS. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State and local 

agencies and to private organizations 

and citizens who have previously 

expressed or are known to have interest 

in this proposal. A series of public 

meetings and hearings will be held in 

the project area. Public notice will be 

given of the exact time and place of the 

meetings and the hearing to be held for 

the project. The Draft EIS will be 

available for public and agency review 

and comment prior to the Public 

Hearing. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments, and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action or the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

provided above.
