route is over tracks owned by Paducah & Illinois 

Railroad Company (P&I) and that NSR’s use of that 

portion of the involved trackage rights is contingent 

upon NSR obtaining a separate agreement to operate 

over P&I’s trackage. In the event that NSR obtains 

such an agreement, NSR states that it will file a 

notice of exemption. 

2NSR has existing trackage rights over IC’s line 

between milepost 70.0 at DuQuoin and milepost 

71.0 at Eldorado Junction. 

3A redacted, executed trackage rights agreement 

between IC and NSR was filed with the notice of 

exemption. Also, a motion for protective order was 

concurrently filed and will be addressed in a 

separate decision. On October 7, 2010, an 

unredacted version of the trackage rights agreement 

was filed under seal. 

Ill., and milepost 70.0 at DuQuoin, Ill.; 

(2) milepost 71.0 at Eldorado Junction, 

Ill., and milepost 100.0 at Akin 

Junction, Ill.;2 (3) milepost 62.9 at Akin 

Junction and milepost 40.7 at North 

Siding, Ill.; and (4) milepost 40.7 at 

North Siding and the IC’s connection to 

the Western Tennessee Railroad at 

milepost 269.4 near Fulton, KY.3

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after October 29, 2010, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the exemption is filed). The 

primary purpose of the trackage rights 

agreement is to enable NSR to route 

traffic over IC’s rail lines for 

transportation beyond the endpoints of 

Church and the Western Tennessee 

Railroad connection. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the trackage 

rights will be protected by the 

conditions imposed in Norfolk and 

Western Railway—Trackage Rights— 

Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 I.C.C. 605 

(1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast 

Railway—Lease and Operate—

653 (1980). 

This notice is filed under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(7). 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. Stay petitions must be 

filed by October 22, 2010 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective).

BILLING CODE 4915–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Departmental Offices; Debt 

Management Advisory Committee 

Meeting 

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(a)(2), that a meeting 

will be held at the Hay-Adams Hotel, 

16th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC, on November 2, 

2010 at 10 a.m. of the following debt 

management advisory committee: 

Treasury Borrowing Advisory 

Committee of The Securities Industry 

and Financial Markets Association. 

The agenda for the meeting provides 

for a charge by the Secretary of the 

Treasury or his designate that the 

Committee discuss particular issues and 

conduct a working session. Following 

the working session, the Committee will 

present a written report of its 

recommendations. The meeting will be 

closed to the public, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(d) and Public Law 

103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B)(31 U.S.C. 3121 

note). 

This notice shall constitute my 

determination, pursuant to the authority 

placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C. 

App. 2, § 10(d) and vested in me by 

Treasury Department Order No. 101–05, 

that the meeting will consist of 

discussions and debates of the issues 

presented to the Committee by the 

Secretary of the Treasury and the 

making of recommendations of the 

Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to 

Public Law 103–202, 202(c)(l)(B). 

Thus, this information is exempt from 

disclosure under that provision and 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the 

meeting is concerned with information 

that is exempt from disclosure under 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(A). The public interest 

requires that such meetings be closed to 

the public because the Treasury 

Department requires frank and full 

advice from representatives of the 

financial community prior to making its 

final decisions on major financing 

operations. Historically, this advice has 

been offered by debt management 

advisory committees established by the 

several major segments of the financial 

community. When so utilized, such a 

committee is recognized to be an 

advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 

2, § 3. 

Although the Treasury’s final 

announcement of financing plans may 

not reflect the recommendations 

provided in reports of the committee, 

premature disclosure of the committee’s 

deliberations and reports would be 

likely to lead to significant financial 

speculation in the securities market. 

Thus, this meeting falls within the 

exemption covered by 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(9)(A). 

Treasury staff will provide a technical 

briefing to the press on the day before 

the committee meeting, following the 

release of a statement of economic 

conditions and financing estimates. This 

briefing will give the press an 

opportunity to ask questions about 

financing projections. The day after the 

committee meeting, Treasury will 

release the minutes of the meeting, any 

charts that were discussed at the 

meeting, and the committee’s report to 

the Secretary. 

The Office of Debt Management is 

responsible for maintaining records of 

debt management advisory committee 

meetings and for providing annual 

reports setting forth a summary of 

Committee activities and such other 

matters as may be informative to the 

public consistent with the policy of 5 

U.S.C. 552(b). The Designated Federal 

Officer or other responsible agency 

official who may be contacted for 

additional information is Fred 

Pietrangeli, Deputy Director for Office of 

Debt Management, (202) 622–1876. 

Dated: October 6, 2010. 

Mary Miller, 

Assistant Secretary (Financial Markets).
