28588 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 16, 2009 / Notices 

codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123. On 

September 30, 1998, the Secretary 

delegated and transferred the authority 

to administer the F&OS program to the 

former Bureau of Transportation 

Statistics (BTS), now part of the 

Research and Innovative Technology 

Administration (RITA), to former 

chapter XI, subchapter B of 49 CFR part 

1420 (63 FR 52192). 

On September 29, 2004, the Secretary 

transferred the responsibility for the 

F&OS program from BTS to FMCSA in 

the belief that the program was more 

aligned with FMCSA’s mission and its 

other motor carrier responsibilities (69 

FR 51009). On August 10, 2006, the 

Secretary published a final rule (71 FR 

45740) that transferred and redesignated 

certain motor carrier financial and 

statistical reporting regulations of BTS, 

that were formerly located at chapter XI, 

subchapter B of title 49 CFR part 1420, 

to FMCSA under chapter III of title 49 

CFR part 369. 

On April 8, 2009, FMCSA published 

a Federal Register notice on this same 

topic and provided 60 days for public 

comment (74 FR 16037). The Agency 

received no comments to the docket in 

response to this notice. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FMCSA to perform its 

functions; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways for the 

FMCSA to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information.

Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal

U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad

Docket Number: FRA–2009–0047 

Applicant: CSX Transportation, Inc., 

Mr. C.M. King, Chief Engineer, 

Communications and Signals, 500 

Water Street, SC J–350, Jacksonville, 

Florida 32202. 

The CSX Transportation, Inc (CSXT) 

seeks approval of the proposed 

discontinuance of the manned tower 

‘‘MK’’ at Rowlesburg, Milepost (MP) 

BA253.9; the conversion of poweroperated switches #10 and #16 at 

Rowlesburg to DTMF controlled 

switches; the discontinuance of 

controlled signals #4 and #42 at Terra 

Alta, MP BA242.0; the installation of 

double track hold-out signals #2, #4, #6, 

#8 and the conversion of the power 

operated switch to a hand-operated 

throw electrically locked switch at 

Rinard, MP BA240.7; and the 

rearrangement of track configuration at 

Rowlesburg and McMillan, MP 

BA252.3. Signal Rule CPS–261 will be 

used between Rowlesburg and Rinard. 

The location of the application is 

Rowlesburg, West Virginia, MP BA240.7 

to BA253.9, on the Mountain

The reason given for the proposed 

changes is to eliminate facilities no 

longer needed in present day operation.

upon which the protest is made, and 

include a concise statement of the 

interest of the party in the proceeding. 

Additionally, one copy of the protest 

shall be furnished to the applicant at the 

address listed above. 

FRA expects to be able to determine 

these matters without an oral hearing. 

However, if a specific request for an oral 

hearing is accompanied by a showing 

that the party is unable to adequately 

present his or her position by written 

statements, an application may be set 

for public hearing. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request.

proceedings should identify the
