Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

Title: Part 121 Pilot Age Limit. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–XXXX. 

Forms(s): There are no FAA forms 

associated with this collection. 

Affected Public: A total of 15,649 

Respondents. 

Frequency: The information is 

collected semi-annually. 

Estimated Average Burden Per 

Response: Approximately 15 minutes 

per response. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 3,912 hours annually. 

Abstract: The FAA is proposing to 

raise the upper age limit for pilots 

serving in domestic, flag, and 

supplemental operations until they 

reach their 65th birthday as long as the 

other pilot at the controls is under age 

60. This action would impose new 

paperwork requirements. Under this 

proposal, all pilots over age 60 serving 

in part 121 operations would have to 

hold a first-class medical certificate, 

valid for 6 months and would require a 

line check (evaluation) every six 

months. Although it is projected that 

most older pilots serving in part 121 

operations hold a first-class medical 

certificate, some pilots may not since 

they may serve as co-pilot and hold a 

commercial pilot certificate which 

requires a second-class medical 

certificate, valid for 12 months. Affected 

pilots would have to apply for medical 

examination twice a year to maintain a 

first-class medical certificate instead of 

once a year to maintain a second-class 

medical certificate.

Red River Valley & Western Railroad 

Company and Rutland Line, Inc.— 

Corporate Family Transaction 

Exemption 

Red River Valley & Western Railroad 

Company (RRVW) and Rutland Line, 

Inc. (Rutland), both Class III rail 

carriers, have filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3) 

for a transaction within a corporate 

family. Applicants state that, on or 

about June 27, 2007, all of the stock in 

Rutland was transferred to RRVW, 

thereby causing Rutland to become a 

wholly-owned subsidiary of RRVW.1 At 

the time, the sole shareholders of 

applicants were Douglas M. Head and 

Charles H. Clay, with Mr. Head owning 

the vast majority of the stock in each of 

these companies and Mr. Clay owning 

the remaining shares. Applicants state 

that the transfer merely resulted in the 

shareholders indirectly controlling 

Rutland through their control of RRVW, 

rather than controlling Rutland 

directly.2 According to applicants, 

RRVW inadvertently failed to seek 

Board authority in 2007 to control 

Rutland prior to the transfer of 

ownership interest and they now seek to 

remedy that oversight. The purpose of 

the transaction was to enable Rutland to 

be treated as a Qualified Subchapter S 

Subsidiary of RRVW for tax purposes. 

The exemption will be effective on 

July 19, 2009. 

This is a transaction within a 

corporate family of the type exempted 

from prior review and approval under 

49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3). The parties state 

that the transaction will not result in 

adverse changes in service levels, 

significant operational changes, or 

changes in the competitive balance with 

carriers outside the corporate family. 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of is 

employees. Section 11326(c), however, 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under sections 11324 and 

11325 that involve only Class III rail 

carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not 

impose labor protective conditions here, 

because all of the carriers involved are 

Class III rail carriers. 

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 transaction. 

Petitions for stay will be due no later 

than July 10, 2009 (at least 7 days before 

the effective date of the exemption). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35254, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423– 

0001. In addition, one copy of each 

pleading must be served on applicants’ 

representative, Rose-Michele Nardi, 

1300 19th Street, NW., 5th Floor, 

Washington, DC 20036.

Decided: June 25, 2009.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
