Tulare Valley Railroad Company—

County, CA 

Tulare Valley Railroad Company 

(TVR), a Class III railroad, has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1152 subpart F—Exempt 

Abandonments to abandon a 5.9-mile 

line of railroad between milepost

milepost 66.0 at or near Ultra, in Tulare 

County, CA.1 The line traverses United 

States Postal Service Zip Codes 93270 

and 93218. 

TVR has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic on 

the line can be rerouted over other lines; 

(3) no formal complaint filed by a user 

of rail service on the line (or by a State 

or local government entity acting on 

behalf of such user) regarding cessation 

of service over the line either is pending 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

(Board) or with any U.S. District Court 

or has been decided in favor of 

complainant within the 2-year period; 

and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 

1105.7 (environmental report), 49 CFR 

1105.8 (historic report), 49 CFR 1105.11 

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12 

(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR 

1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental 

agencies) have been met. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment shall be protected under 

Oregon Short Line R. Co.— 

Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 

(1979). To address whether this 

condition adequately protects affected 

employees, a petition for partial 

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on August 

20, 2009, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues,2

formal expressions of intent to file an 

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),3 and 

trail use/rail banking requests under 49 

CFR 1152.29 must be filed by July 31, 

2009. Petitions to reopen or requests for 

public use conditions under 49 CFR 

1152.28 must be filed by August 10,

A copy of any petition filed with the 

Board should be sent to TVR’s 

representative: Fritz R. Kahn, 1920 N 

Street, NW., (8th fl.), Washington, DC 

20036. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

TVR has filed a combined 

environmental report and historic report 

which addresses the effects, if any, of 

the abandonment on the environment 

and historic resources. SEA will issue 

an environmental assessment (EA) by 

July 24, 2009. Interested persons may 

obtain a copy of the EA by writing to 

SEA (Room 1100, Surface 

Transportation Board, Washington, DC 

20423–0001) or by calling SEA, at (202) 

245–0305. [Assistance for the hearing 

impaired is available through the 

Federal Information Relay Service 

(FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339.] Comments 

on environmental and historic 

preservation matters must be filed 

within 15 days after the EA becomes 

available to the public. 

Environmental, historic preservation, 

public use, or trail use/rail banking 

conditions will be imposed, where 

appropriate, in a subsequent decision. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29(e)(2), TVR shall file a notice of 

consummation with the Board to signify 

that it has exercised the authority 

granted and fully abandoned the line. If 

consummation has not been effected by 

TVR’s filing of a notice of 

consummation by July 21, 2010, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.

WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.’’ 

Decided: July 16, 2009.

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Title: Tire Pressure Monitoring 

System—Special Study (TPMS–SS). 

OMB Number: 2127–New. 

Type of Request: Request for public 

comment on proposed collection of 

information. 

Abstract: Improperly inflated tires 

pose a safety risk, increasing the chance 

of skidding, hydroplaning, longer 

stopping distances, and crashes due to 

flat tires and blowouts. In an effort to 

decrease the number of vehicles with 

improperly inflated tires, Tire Pressure 

Monitoring Systems (TPMS) were 

mandated in Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, so 

that drivers are warned when the 

pressure in one or more of the vehicle’s 

tires has fallen to 25 percent or more 

below the placard pressure, or a 

minimum level of pressure specified in 

the standard, whichever pressure is 

higher. Executive Order 12866 requires 

Federal agencies to evaluate their 

existing regulations and programs and 

measure their effectiveness in achieving 

their objectives. The purpose of this 

survey, Tire Pressure Monitoring 

System—Special Study (TPMS–SS), is 

to evaluate whether the frequency of 

underinflated tires has decreased in 

vehicles with TPMS in comparison to 

vehicles of the same age without TPMS. 

In addition, the survey will collect data 

on the drivers’ familiarity with the type 

of warnings given by their TPMS and 

the action(s) that they have taken after 

the warnings have been given. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

1,925 hours. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725–17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 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. 

A comment to OMB is most effective if 

OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).
