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-Nonimmigrant) under 

the provisions of the Mutual 

Educational and Cultural Exchange Act, 

as amended (22 U.S.C. 2451 et seq.). The 

Form DS–2019 is the document that 

provides the information needed to 

identify an individual (and spouse and 

dependents, where applicable) seeking 

to enter the U.S. as an Exchange Visitor 

in J-Nonimmigrant status. Changes have 

been made to Section 6 of the DS–2019 

to include a responsible officer/alternate 

responsible officer attestation that the 

sponsor has complied with 

requirements in 22 CFR 62.12(b). In the 

instructions to Form DS–2019, Section 2 

of the instructions has been reworded to 

ensure that exchange visitors and their 

accompanying spouses and dependents 

remain in compliance with insurance 

requirements under 22 CFR 62.14 

during the course of the exchange. 

Methodology 

Access to Form DS–2019 is made 

available to Department-designated 

sponsors electronically via the Student 

and Exchange Visitor Information 

System (SEVIS).

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36144] 

Scrap Metal Services Terminal 

Railroad Company (Illinois), LLC— 

Lease and Operation Exemption—Rail 

Line of Scrap Metal Services, LLC 

Scrap Metal Services Terminal 

Railroad Company (Illinois), LLC 

(SMSRRIL), a noncarrier, has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.31 to acquire by lease from 

Scrap Metal Services, LLC (SMS), and to 

operate,1 approximately 1,613 linear 

feet (0.305 mile) of railroad right-of-way 

and trackage located at the Burnham 

Transload Facility at the intersection of 

Brainard Avenue and the Indiana 

Harbor Belt Railroad right-of-way in 

Burnham, Ill. (the Burnham Transload 

Facility trackage), pursuant to an 

agreement. SMS Realty (Burnham), LLC, 

owns the Burnham Transload Facility 

trackage, which is leased to SMS. 

According to SMSRRIL, there are no 

mileposts associated with the Burnham 

Transload Facility trackage. SMSRRIL 

states that the trackage is used in 

conjunction with interchanging to and 

from Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad 

carloads of scrap metals for transloading 

into trucks for delivery to steel 

producing mills. 

SMSRRIL asserts that, because the 

trackage in question will constitute the 

entire line of railroad of SMSRRIL, this 

trackage is a line of railroad under 49 

U.S.C. 10901, rather than spur, 

switching, or side tracks excepted from 

Board acquisition and operation 

authority by virtue of 49 U.S.C. 10906.2

Although SMSRRIL states in its 

verified notice that the operations were 

proposed to be consummated on or 

about September 1, 2017, this 

transaction may not be consummated 

until October 12, 2017 (30 days after the 

verified notice was filed). 

SMSRRIL certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction do not exceed those that 

would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier 

and will not exceed $5 million. 

SMSRRIL also certifies that there are no 

provisions or agreements that may limit 

future interchange commitments. 

If the verified 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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions to stay must be 

filed no later than October 5, 2017 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

36144, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on SMSRRIL’s representative,

Northbrook, IL 60062. 

According to SMSRRIL, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c). 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Cancellation of Preparation 

of Environmental Impact Statement for 

Replacement General Aviation Airport, 

Mesquite, Clark County, Nevada 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of cancellation of 

preparation of Environmental Impact 

Statement. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that it 

has discontinued preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for a construction of a Replacement 

General Aviation Airport for Mesquite, 

Nevada. On November 14, 2011, FAA 

published a notice of suspension of the 

EIS in the Federal Register (76 FR 

70530). The FAA received a letter dated 

September 27, 2011, from the City of 

Mesquite, Nevada asking the FAA to 

suspend any further work on the EIS. 

The reasons for this action include the 

local economic conditions in Mesquite 

and other local fiscal and budgetary 

constraints. The Mesquite Lands Act of 

1988 (the Act), as amended, provided 

land to the City of Mesquite for the 

replacement airport, expired on 

November 14, 2011 and was not 

extended or renewed by Congress. The 

original purpose and need for the 

proposed relocated airport no longer 

exists. The City of Mesquite, the owner 

and operator of the existing Mesquite 

Municipal Airport, has not included a 

replacement airport in its 5-year Airport 

Capital Improvement Program. As a 

result, FAA has determined the 

proposed replacement General Aviation 

Airport for Mesquite, Nevada is not ripe 

for decision at this time.

Telephone: 310–725–3615. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 8, 2004, the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) issued a Notice of 

Intent in the Federal Register (69 FR 

71097) to prepare an EIS for the 

proposed construction and operation of 

a Replacement General Aviation (GA) 

Airport, for the City of Mesquite, in 

eastern Clark County, Nevada. The City 

of Mesquite proposed to build the 

replacement airport south of Interstate 

Highway 15 between Exit 108 and 109 

on the Mormon Mesa, about 15 miles 

west of the exiting Mesquite Municipal 

Airport and change the airport land use 

to residential land use, including 

construction of a new arterial roadway 

through the existing airport property. To 

maintain access to the National Air 

Transportation System, the city also 

proposed to design, fund, and build a 

replacement GA airport at Mormon 

Mesa that would provide GA facilities 

and services to the flying public, 

support regional economic development 

at no cost to the FAA. The City 

proposed to build the replacement GA 

airport to meet FAA Airport Reference 

Code (ARC) B–II standards with a new 

runway 7,500 feet long by 100 feet wide. 

On May 16, 2008, the Notice of 

Availability of FAA’s Draft EIS was 

published in the Federal Register (73 

FR 28461). The FAA received 34 

comment letters on the Draft EIS from 

federal, state and local agencies, as well 

as the general public. In March 2009, as 

FAA was preparing responses to
