Philips Lighting Company Receipt of

Application for Decision of

Inconsequential Noncompliance

Philips Lighting Company, Somerset,

New Jersey, has determined that certain

H3–55W replaceable light sources it

manufactured do not have the ‘‘DOT’’

marking required under Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.

108, ‘‘Lamps, Reflective Devices, and

Associated Equipment.’’ The total

number of light sources sold without

this marking from January 1998 to

December 1999 was 67,299.

This notice of receipt of an

application is published under 49

U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not

represent any agency decision or other

exercise of judgment concerning the

merits of the application.

Under the requirements of S7.7(a) of

FMVSS No. 108, each replaceable light

source shall be marked with the symbol

‘‘DOT.’’

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and

30120(h), Philips Lighting Company has

petitioned for a determination that its

failure to mark light sources with

‘‘DOT’’ is inconsequential to motor

vehicle safety and has filed an

appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR

Part 573, ‘‘Defect and Noncompliance

Reports.’’

Philips Lighting Company has

indicated that the subject replaceable

light source, with the exception of the

absence of the ‘‘DOT’’ marking, fully

complies with all the performance and

design requirements of FMVSS No. 108

and does not constitute any risk to

motor vehicle safety and has submitted

test results to show this.

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments on the application described

above. Comments should refer to the

docket number and be submitted to:

U.S. Department of Transportation,

Docket Management, Room PL–401, 400

submitted.

All comments received before the

[STB Finance Docket No. 33999]

Somerset Terminal Railroad

Corporation—Operation Exemption—A

Line of Railroad Owned by Joseph C.

Horner

Somerset Terminal Railroad

Corporation (STRC), a noncarrier, has

filed a notice of exemption under 49

CFR 1150.31 to operate under a

perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive and

assignable easement over approximately

1.25 miles of rail line owned by Joseph

C. Horner. The rail line is located in the

Township of Bridgewater and the

Borough of Manville, Somerset County,

NJ, and is part of a rail line known as

the Reading Company New York Branch

(also known as the Raritan Valley

Connecting Track), and identified as

Line Code 0326, between milepost 57.25

at Manville Yard and milepost 58.50 at

a junction with New Jersey Transit’s

commuter line. STRC also acquired title

to a railroad bridge spanning the Raritan

River and connecting the properties on

which its easement lies.1

STRC proposes to operate the line to

connect with CSX Transportation, Inc.

(CSXT) and Norfolk Southern Railway

Company at points of intersection on

the rail line. Pursuant to an agreement

with Mr. Horner, STRC will replace

Bridgewater Resources, Inc. (BRI), the

Somerset County waste transfer station.

BRI previously arranged for an

independent contractor to transport the

waste processed by BRI over the line for

connection with CSXT. Mr. Horner will

permit STRC to transport its refuse

across its property and will permit

STRC to move freight from other

shippers bordering on the property

upon which the easement exists.

The transaction was due to be

consummated on or after January 29,

2001.2

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.

An original and 10 copies of all

pleadings, referring to STB Finance

Docket No. 33999, must be filed with
