Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 65 / Thursday, April 6, 2017 / Notices
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
required by the National Defense
Authorization Act of 2015. DOS, in
coordination with U.S. Commission of
Fine Arts, the National Capital Planning
Commission, The District of Columbia
Historic Preservation Office, and District
of Columbia Department of
Transportation, then developed
Alternative 7. Alternative 7 and the No
Action Alternative were retained for
detailed study within the SDEIS.
Alternative 7 would provide up to 15
lots for chancery development, retain
the historic Memorial Chapel building
for adaptive reuse, and potentially
retain other buildings for adaptive
reuse, depending on marketability.
Dahlia Street and 14th Street would be
developed as connections to the
surrounding neighborhoods. The
existing historic perimeter fence along
16th Street and Alaska Avenue would
remain. The existing landscape on the
western boundary of the site would be
enhanced to create a 50-foot vegetated
buffer, maximizing the tree canopy in
that area. Access to individual lots
would be internal to the former
WRAMC campus.
The No Action Alternative was
included to provide a basis for
comparison to the action alternative
described above as required by the
NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1002.14(d)).
After careful consideration of the
alternatives developed in response to
the study’s purpose and needs and in
coordination with jurisdictional and
interested agencies, DOS has identified
Alternative 7 as its Preferred Action
Alternative because it best satisfies the
study purpose and needs, would fulfill
their statutory mission and
responsibilities, and has the least
adverse environmental impact.

information technology, when
appropriate; and (4) whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Board, including
whether the collection has practical
utility. Submitted comments will be
summarized and included in the
Board’s request for OMB approval.
Description of Collection
Title: Demurrage Liability Disclosure
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2140–0021.
STB Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension with
change (relating to the change in burden
hours based on the estimated decrease
in (a) the number of respondents from
650 to 575 and (b) the time per response
from eight hours to one hour, due to fact
that the unique burdens associated with
the initiation of the collection no longer
exist).
Respondents: Freight railroads subject
to the Board’s jurisdiction.
Number of Respondents: 575
(including seven Class I railroads).
Estimated Time per Response: One
hour.
Frequency: Occasionally. The notice
requirement is triggered in two
circumstances: (1) When a shipper
initially arranges with a railroad for
transportation of goods pursuant to the
railroad’s tariff; or (2) when a railroad
changes the terms of its demurrage
tariff.
Total Burden Hours (annually
including all respondents): 864.6 hours.
Board staff estimates that: (1) Seven
Class I railroads will each take on 15
new customers each year (105 hours);
(2) each of the seven Class I railroads
will update its demurrage tariffs every
three years (2.3 hours annualized); (3)
568 non-Class I railroads will each take
on one new customer a year (568 hours);
and (4) each non-Class I railroad will
update its demurrage tariffs every three
years (189.3 hours annualized).
Total ‘‘Non-Hour Burden’’ Cost: No
non-hourly cost burdens associated with
this collection have been identified. The
notice may be provided electronically.
Needs and Uses: Demurrage is a
charge that railroads assess their
customers for detaining rail cars beyond
a specified amount of time. It both
compensates railroads for expenses
incurred for that rail car, and serves as
a penalty for undue car detention to
promote efficiency. Demurrage is
subject to the Board’s jurisdiction under
49 U.S.C. 10702 and 10746, which
require railroads to compute demurrage
charges and to establish demurragerelated rules.
PO 00000
Frm 00094
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
A railroad and its customers may
enter into demurrage contracts without
providing notice, but, in the absence of
such contracts, demurrage will be
governed by the railroad’s demurrage
tariff. Under 49 CFR 1333.3, a railroad’s
ability to charge demurrage pursuant to
its tariff is conditional on its having
given, prior to rail car placement, actual
notice of the demurrage tariff to the
person receiving rail cars for loading
and unloading. Once a shipper receives
a notice as to a particular tariff,
additional notices are only required
when the tariff changes materially. The
parties use the information in these
disclosure requirements to avoid
demurrage disputes, and the Board uses
the information to resolve demurrage
disputes that come before the agency.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), federal agencies are
required to provide, prior to an agency’s
submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-day notice and comment
period through publication in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
Dated: March 31, 2017.
