Heavy Equipment, Produce, Intermodal,
Passenger, Refrigerated (non-produce),
Tank Carriers and Bulk Materials
Carriers. Each commodity segment was
subdivided into its for-hire and private
components, and each of the 30
segments was evaluated on recent crash,
vehicle, driver and safety management
factors. The third analysis combined the
financial and safety performance data
from the first two analyses to create a
profile of the financial and safety
performance relationship. Correlation
coefficients were calculated for various
financial-safety performance measures,
and each correlation coefficient was
calculated for various financial-safety
performance measures and tested for its
statistical significance. Phase 1 results
are located on the FMCSA Analysis and
Information (A&I) online Web site
(https://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov) under
‘‘Analysis Results and Reports.’’
The safety performance results from
Phase 1 provided the basis for Phase 2
of this study (also complete).
Phase 2 of the study is an
investigation of the safety programs,
policies, and procedures undertaken by
safety leaders in each commodity
segment (commonly known as the ‘‘Best
Practices’’ Study). Phase 2 included
individual interviews with several
safety leaders in each segment. Detailed
information was collected on driver
screening and hiring practices, preservice and in-service training
procedures, incentive awards programs
and vehicle maintenance policies. Phase
2 results are also located on FMCSA’s
A&I Web site (https://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov)
under Analysis Results and Reports.’’
Phase 3: Results from Phase 2 are
being shared with FMCSA safety
investigators and disseminated to many
carriers within the industry, including
new entrants and poor performers.
Specifically, copies of the ‘‘Best
Practices’’ final report were provided to
national-level industry associations and
FMCSA field offices. Summarized
brochures have been developed for
distribution to the associations, FMCSA
field offices, and new entrants upon
initial registration with FMCSA. The
hope is that these new motor carriers
will incorporate these practices into
their own safety management programs
while they are still in the development
stage. Additionally, FMCSA hopes to
incorporate the results in material
provided at compliance reviews, so that
carriers who rate poorly have access to
specific, concrete examples of how to
revise or improve their safety
management programs.
As part of Phase 3, FMCSA and the
University of Maryland will seek more
detailed information from the motor

carrier industry on how technology is
being used to improve safety
management. FMCSA and the
University of Maryland propose to send
questionnaires to approximately 1,000
of the largest for-hire and private
carriers in the United States. The
University of Maryland will also post
the questionnaires on-line so that the
selected carriers can complete the
survey via the Internet, if desired.
Respondents: The total number of
respondents is 1,000. The respondents
will be the ten largest for-hire and
private motor carriers in each State.
Average Burden Per Response: The
estimated average burden per response
is 45 minutes. Estimated Total Annual
Burden: The estimated total annual
burden is 750 hours (1,000
questionnaires interviews × 45 minutes
per response/60 minutes = 750 hours).
Frequency: Once.
Public Comments Invited: Interested
parties are invited to send comments
regarding any aspect of this information
collection, including, but not limited to:
(1) The necessity and utility of the
information collection for the proper
performance of the functions of the
FMCSA; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
collected information; and (4) ways to
minimize the collection burden without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB clearance of this
information collection.

Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP)
has agreed to grant limited temporary
overhead trackage rights to BNSF
Railway Company (BNSF) over UP’s
line between Valley Junction, IL, at UP
milepost 0.00 and Rockview Junction,
MO, at UP milepost 131.3, a distance of
approximately 131.3 miles.
The transaction was scheduled to be
consummated on February 14, 2005,
and the temporary trackage rights are
intended to expire on May 13, 2005. The
purpose of the temporary trackage rights
is to allow BNSF to bridge its train
service while its main lines are out of
service due to programmed track,
roadbed, and structural maintenance.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee affected by the acquisition of
the temporary trackage rights will be
protected by the conditions imposed in
Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.—Trackage
Rights—BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as
modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—
Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653

the discontinuance of those trackage
rights will be protected by the
conditions set out in Oregon Short Line
R. Co.—Abandonment-Goshen, 360
I.C.C. 91 (1979).
This notice is filed under 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(8). If it 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. 34663, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 1925
K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423–
