Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The collection is the continuation of 

information collected and needed by the 

Bureau of Educational and Cultural 

Affairs in administering the Exchange 

Visitor Program (J–Visa) under the 

provisions of the Mutual Educational 

and Cultural Exchange Act, as amended. 

Trainee/Internship Placement Plans are 

to be completed by designated program 

sponsors. A Training/Internship 

Placement Plan is required for each 

trainee or intern participant. It will set 

forth the training or internship program 

to be followed and includes the skills 

the trainee or intern will obtain, 

whether the trainee or intern will 

receive any remuneration for housing 

and living expenses (and if so, the 

amount), and estimates the living 

expenses and other costs the trainees or 

interns are likely to incur while in the 

United States. The Plan must be signed 

by the trainee or intern, a sponsor 

official, and the third party placement 

organization, if a third party 

organization is used in the conduct of 

the training or internship. 

Methodology 

The collection will be submitted to 

the Department by mail or fax as 

requested by DoS during the review of 

a program sponsor’s file, redesignation 

of a sponsor organization, during the 

investigation of a complaint or incident, 

etc.

Union Pacific Railroad Company— 

Abandonment—in Rusk County, TX 

On May 26, 2009, Union Pacific 

Railroad Company (UP) filed with the 

Board an application for permission to 

abandon its Henderson Industrial Lead, 

extending from milepost 0.59, near 

Overton, to milepost 16.28, near 

Henderson, a distance of 15.69 miles, in 

Rusk County, TX (the Henderson 

Industrial Lead or the line). The line 

includes no stations and traverses 

United States Postal Service ZIP Code 

75652. 

The line does not contain federally 

granted rights-of-way. Any 

documentation in UP’s possession will 

be made available promptly to those 

requesting it. The applicant’s entire case 

for abandonment (case-in-chief) was 

filed with the application. 

This line of railroad has appeared on 

UP’s system diagram map or been 

included in the narrrative in category 1 

since August 28, 2008. 

The interest of railroad employees 

will be protected by the conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line R. Co.— 

Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 

(1979). 

Any interested person may file with 

the Board written comments concerning 

the proposed abandonment, or protests 

(including the protestant’s entire case in 

opposition), by July 10, 2009. All 

interested persons should be aware that 

following any abandonment of rail 

service and salvage of the line, the line 

may be suitable for other public use, 

including interim trail use. Any request 

for a public use condition under 49 

U.S.C. 10905 (49 CFR 1152.28) and any 

request for a trail use condition under 

16 U.S.C. 1247(d) (49 CFR 1152.29) 

must be filed by July 10, 2009. Each trail 

use request must be accompanied by a 

$250 filing fee. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(27). Applicant’s reply to any 

opposition statements and its response 

to trail use requests must be filed by 

July 27, 2009. See 49 CFR 1152.26(a). 

Persons opposing the abandonment 

who wish to participate actively and 

fully in the process should file a protest.

but who do not wish to participate fully 

in the process by submitting verified 

statements of witnesses containing 

detailed evidence should file comments. 

Persons seeking information concerning 

the filing of protests should refer to 49 

CFR 1152.25. Persons interested only in 

seeking public use or trail use 

conditions should also file comments. 

In addition, a commenting party or 

protestant may provide: (i) An offer of 

financial assistance (OFA) for continued 

rail service under 49 U.S.C. 10904 (due 

120 days after the application is filed or 

10 days after the application is granted 

by the Board, whichever occurs sooner); 

(ii) recommended provisions for 

protection of the interests of employees; 

(iii) a request for a public use condition 

under 49 U.S.C. 10905; and (iv) a 

statement pertaining to prospective use 

of the right-of-way for interim trail use 

and rail banking under 16 U.S.C. 

1247(d) and 49 CFR 1152.29.
