passenger cars manufactured before 

September 1, 2006 to their U.S.-certified 

counterparts, and found the vehicles to 

be substantially similar with respect to 

compliance with most FMVSS. 

WETL submitted information with its 

petition intended to demonstrate that 

non-U.S. certified 2006 Ferrari 599 

passenger cars manufactured before 

September 1, 2006, as originally 

manufactured, conform to many FMVSS 

in the same manner as their U.S. 

certified counterparts, or are capable of 

being readily altered to conform to those 

standards. 

Specifically, the petitioner claims that 

non-U.S. certified 2006 Ferrari 599 

passenger cars manufactured before 

September 1, 2006 are identical to their 

U.S. certified counterparts with respect 

to compliance with Standard Nos. 102

Starter Interlock, and Transmission 

Braking Effect, 103 Windshield 

Defrosting and Defogging Systems, 104

and Roof Panel Systems, 124

401 Interior Trunk Release. 

In addition, the petitioner claims that 

the vehicles comply with the Bumper 

Standard found in 49 CFR Part 581. 

The petitioner also contends that the 

vehicles are capable of being readily 

altered to meet the following standards, 

in the manner indicated: 

Standard No. 101 Controls and 

Displays: Inspection of all vehicles and 

installation of a U.S.-model instrument 

cluster with associated hardware and 

software, or modification of the existing 

instrument cluster to meet the 

requirements of this standard on 

vehicles not already so equipped. 

Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective 

Devices and Associated Equipment: 

Inspection of all vehicles and 

installation, on vehicles that are not 

already so equipped, of U.S.-model 

components to meet the requirements of

Standard No. 110 Tire Selection and 

Rims: Installation of a tire information 

placard on all vehicles not already so

already so equipped; and (b) installation 

of U.S.-version software to ensure that 

the seat belt warning system meets the 

requirements of this standard. 

The petitioner states that the crash 

protection system used in these vehicles 

consists of dual front airbags, knee 

bolsters, and combination lap and 

shoulder belts at the front outboard 

seating positions. The seat belt systems 

are described as being self-tensioning, 

and capable of being released by means 

of a single red push-button.

and replacement of any non U.S.-model

requirements of 49 CFR Part 565.

Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Finance Docket No. 35164; STB 

Docket No. AB–6 (Sub-No. 430X)] 

BNSF Railway Company-Petition for 

Declaratory Order; BNSF Railway 

Company—Abandonment Exemption— 

in Oklahoma County, OK 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, 

DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of board action. 

SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation 

Board (Board) hereby gives notice that, 

on its own motion, it granted BNSF 

Railway Company (BNSF) exemptions 

under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903 (filing and 

procedure for application to abandon or 

discontinue service), 49 U.S.C. 10904 

(offers of financial assistance to avoid 

abandonment and discontinuance), and 

49 U.S.C. 10905 (offering abandoned rail 

properties for sale for public purposes) 

for a segment of track on the Chickasha 

Line in Oklahoma City, OK, between 

milepost 541.69 and milepost 540.15 

(the middle segment). The Board took 

this action in a decision served earlier 

in which it also found that a BNSF 

eastern segment project was a relocation 

that did not require prior agency 

authorization. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joseph Dettmar, (202) 245–0395. 

[Assistance for the hearing impaired is 

available through the Federal 

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at: 

(800) 877–8339.] 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By 

petition filed on July 15, 2008, BNSF 

asked the Board to issue a declaratory 

order finding that what it characterized 

as two track relocation projects in 

Oklahoma City, OK did not require 

Board approval. 

The Board granted the requested 

declaratory relief as to the eastern 

segment. On the middle segment, Board 

concluded that the evidence before it in 

the two related dockets had provided 

ample support for authorizing 

abandonment of that segment. The 

evidence indicates that: the three 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Notices 24897 

existing shippers on adjoining segments 

will continue to receive local service; all 

overhead service can be rerouted; no 

one has requested local service on the 

middle segment in over 10 years; and 

there is no indication of any need for 

service on the middle segment in the 

future. Finally, because any traffic that 

might need to move over the middle 

segment could move over a refurbished 

BNSF Line (the Packingtown Lead), the 

public convenience and necessity does 

not require BNSF to keep the middle 

segment in the national rail system. 

Accordingly, the Board on its own 

motion granted BNSF an exemption 

from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903 

for the middle segment. 

In seeking a declaratory order, BNSF 

also asked the Board for an expedited 

decision so that the relocation project to 

facilitate the construction of the I–40 

highway could go forward. The Board, 

on its own motion, exempted the 

abandonment of the middle segment 

from the statutory offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) program so that the 

highway project may proceed and 

because applying the OFA provisions 

under 49 U.S.C. 10904 is not necessary 

to carry out the rail transportation 

policy. 

Lastly, the Board granted an 

exemption on its own motion from the 

public use provisions under 49 U.S.C. 

10905. BNSF has already agreed to make 

the right-of-way available to Oklahoma 

Department of Transportation (ODOT) 

for public use, i.e., the construction of 

I–40. Therefore, the purpose sought to 

be achieved by section 10905—to 

provide an opportunity to public bodies 

to negotiate for the acquisition of 

abandoned rail properties—has already 

been fulfilled by the agreement reached 

between BNSF and ODOT. 

This action will not significantly 

affect either the quality of the human 

environment or the conservation of 

energy resources. 

Decided: May 19, 2009. 

By the Board, Acting Chairman Mulvey, 

and Vice Chairman Nottingham. 

Andrea Pope-Matheson, 

Clearance Clerk.
