(GDLK), a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire by assignment from Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) trackage rights over PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 approximately 3.3 miles of rail line owned by CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) in Grand Rapids, Mich. (the Line). The Line extends from milepost CH 151.3± at Pleasant Street through milepost CH 151.6/CGE 0.0 to milepost CGE 3.0± north of Ann Street in Grand Rapids, Mich. GDLK states that the subject trackage rights conveyance was incidental to GDLK’s 2009 lease and operation of NSR-owned railroad lines extending generally from Grand Rapids, Mich., to Elkhart, Ind., but was inadvertently omitted from GDLK’s notice of exemption for that transaction. See Grand Elk R.R.—Lease & Operation Exemption—Norfolk S. Ry., FD 35187 (STB served Nov. 17, 2008). GLDK states that it has filed this notice to obtain proper agency authority for the prior assignment of trackage rights over the CSXT Line. (Notice 2.) GDLK contends that it operated pursuant to the CSXT Line trackage rights from its start-up in 2009 until August 10, 2016, when CSXT denied GDLK access to the line. (Notice 3). According to GDLK, CSXT is disputing the 2009 assignment and GDLK is addressing CSXT’s contractual arguments in state court.1 (Id.) GLDK states that it is seeking retroactive Board authorization to assure that the court is fully able to address the matters before it. (Id.) GDLK states that the transaction does not involve any provision or agreement that would limit future interchange with a third-party connecting carrier. GDLK states that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier, but that its projected annual revenues would exceed $5 million. Accordingly, GDLK is required, at least 60 days before this exemption is to become effective, to send notice of the transaction to the national offices of the labor unions with employees on the affected lines, post a copy of the notice at the workplace of the employees on the affected lines, and certify to the Board that it has done so. 49 CFR 1150.42(e). In addition to its verified notice of exemption, GDLK has filed a petition for waiver of the 60-day labor notice requirements of 49 CFR 1150.42(e), asserting that: (1) No employees would be affected by the Board’s authorization 1 GDLK acknowledges that the authority invoked by its notice is permissive and that issuance of this notice is not determinative of the disputed trackage rights contract issues.

Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The goal of the ``Self Certification And Ability To Perform In 
Emergencies'' (ESCAPE) program is to ensure that non-federal 
individuals who are being considered for a contracted position at a 
designated post are capable of the unique, potentially challenging and 
life threatening conditions at ESCAPE posts. These individuals are 
required to review with a medical provider the pre-deployment 
acknowledgement form (DS-6570) and then affirm that they understand the 
physical rigors and security conditions at these posts and can perform 
any specified emergency functions. Medical information is collected 
from medical providers and respondents during this review. The 
Department of State is requesting approval of this Information 
Collection so non-federal individuals who will be selected for 
assignments can provide completed pre-deployment medical information. 
This Collection is allowed under the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 
U.S.C. 3901) and the Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2651).

Methodology

    The information collected will be collected using a form (DS-6570) 
during a medical review between a non-federal individual and his/her 
medical provider. The individual will submit the completed form, signed 
by both the individual and provider, to the Bureau of Medical Services 
at the U.S. Department of States.
