pursuant to a May 25, 2012 Purchase 

and Sale Contract, subsequently 

extended and modified by way of a 

Reinstatement and First Amendment to 

Purchase and Sale Contract. MassDOT 

also states that the agreement does not 

contain any provisions that would limit 

interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier. 

MassDOT certifies that it would not 

conduct freight operations over the 

Railroad Assets, and therefore, 

MassDOT’s prospective annual common 

carrier revenues will not result in the 

creation of a Class I or Class II carrier. 

MassDOT states that it anticipates 

consummating the transaction on or 

about December 29, 2014, subject to a 

Board decision on the concurrently filed 

motion to dismiss. The earliest this 

transaction may be consummated is 

November 9, 2014, the effective date of 

the exemption (30 days after the verified 

notice was filed). 

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 October 31, 2014 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35863, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on MassDOT’s representative, 

Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel 

LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 920, 

Chicago, IL 60606.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Small Business Lending 

Fund (SBLF) 

AGENCY: Departmental Offices, Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury, as part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, invites the general public and 

other Federal agencies to comment on 

an extension of an existing information 

collection, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 

13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, 

the Office of the Assistant Secretary for 

Financial Markets, within the 

Department of the Treasury, is soliciting 

comments concerning the New Issue 

Bond Program and Temporary Credit 

and Liquidity Program. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before December 23, 2014 

to be assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding 

the burden estimate, or any other aspect 

of the information collection, including 

suggestions for reducing the burden, via 

the federal eRulemaking portal, http://

www.regulations.gov, following the 

instructions for submitting comments; 

by fax to (202) 622–8722, Attn: Request 

for Comments (SBLF Quarterly 

Supplemental Reports); or by mail to 

Office of Domestic Finance, Department 

of the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20220, 

Attn: Request for Comments (SBLF 

Quarterly Supplemental Reports). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1505–0228. 

Title: Small Business Lending Fund 

(SBLF) Supplemental Reports. 

Abstract: Once accepted into the 

SBLF program, a bank is required to 

submit a Supplemental Report each 

quarter. The Supplemental Report 

serves two purposes. 

First, the Quarterly Supplemental 

Report is used to determine the bank’s 

small business lending baseline. A 

bank’s initial dividend rate is based on 

the increase in small business lending 

(over this baseline) in the quarters from 

October 2010 through September 2013. 

In addition, a bank’s dividend rate is 

now locked based on the results from its 

increase or decrease of qualified small 

business lending (versus the baseline) as 

of September 30, 2013. 

Second, every quarter thereafter, the 

bank files a Supplemental Report 

quarterly so that Treasury can assess the 

change in the small business lending for 

the previous quarter. That change from 

the historical baseline is used to set the 

dividend rate for the next quarter. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

288. 

Estimated Annual Hours per 

Response: 3.5 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 4,032. 

Request for Comment: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. The 

public is invited to submit comments 

concerning: (a) Whether the collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; (d) 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; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information.
