DMVW will continue to retain the following trackage rights that it acquired by assignment from CPR in 1990: (1) CPR’s trackage rights over the line of railroad owned jointly by CPR and the BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) between approximately milepost 549.64 at Rival and milepost 582.3 at Crosby, which allows DMVW to operate between the Flaxton-Rival and CrosbyWhitetail segments that it leases from CPR; (2) CPR’s trackage rights over the short branch line owned jointly by CPR and BNSF that connects the FlaxtonWhitetail main line with the short CPR track at Columbus, ND; and (3) CPR’s trackage rights over the line of railroad owned by BNSF between McKenzie, ND and Bismarck, which enables DMVW to connect its operations on the BismarckMax segment with its operations on the Moffit-Hankinson segment via the line of railroad owned by DMVW between McKenzie and Moffit. DMVW certifies that its projected revenues as a result of this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier. DMVW indicates that the parties intend to consummate the transaction on or soon after the date this exemption becomes effective in recognition of the fact that the date of effectiveness depends on whether a related petition for waiver is granted.1 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 transaction. An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB Finance Docket No. 34904, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423– 0001.

The exemption became effective on the service date of that decision. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:47 Jul 27, 2006 Jkt 208001 Decided: July 24, 2006. Vernon A. Williams, Secretary. [FR Doc.

Lackawaxen-Honesdale Shippers Association, Inc. (LHSA), has filed a verified notice of exemption to acquire control of Stourbridge Railroad Company, Inc. (Stourbridge), from Mr. Richard D. Robey. Stourbridge is a Class III railroad, providing rail service on the Honesdale Branch, which extends from Lackawaxen, PA, to Honesdale, PA.1 The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after July 7, 2006, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the exemption was filed). As a result of this transaction, LHSA will own and control the stock of Stourbridge, which will continue to operate the Honesdale Branch.2 LHSA states that it owns no other rail lines or railroads, and therefore, Stourbridge does not connect with any other railroad owned or operated by LHSA. LHSA also states that the acquisition of control of Stourbridge is not part of a series of anticipated transactions that would connect that railroad with any other railroad owned by LHSA. In addition, the transaction does not involve a Class I carrier. Therefore, the transaction is exempt from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323–25. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board may not use its exemption authority to relieve a rail carrier of its statutory obligation to protect the interests of its employees. Section 11326(c), however, does not provide for labor protection for transactions under sections 11324 and 11325 that involve only Class III rail carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not 1 Stourbridge obtained operating authority for this rail line in Stourbridge Railroad Company, Inc.— Operation Exemption—in Wayne and Pike Counties, PA, Finance Docket No. 31508 (ICC served Jan. 25, 1990). 2 LHSA obtained authority to acquire, and the common carrier obligation to serve, the Honesdale Branch from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in Lackawaxen-Honesdale Shippers Association, Inc.—Acquisition Exemption— Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, STB Finance Docket No. 34891 (STB served July 13, 2006).

Treasury’s Cash Management Requirements (1 TFM 6–8000) prescribe use of this rate by agencies as a comparison point in evaluating the cost-effectiveness of a cash discount. In addition, 5 CFR 1315.8 of the Prompt Payment rule on ‘‘Rebates’’ requires that this rate be used in determining when agencies should pay purchase card invoices when the card issuer offers a rebate.

DATES: The rate will be in effect for the period beginning on July 1, 2006, and ending on December 31, 2006.

The rate is computed each year by averaging Treasury Tax and Loan (TT&L) investment rates for the 12month period ending every September 30, rounded to the nearest whole percentage, for applicability effective each January 1. The rate is subject to quarterly revisions if the annual average, on a moving basis, changes by 2 percentage points, which is the case for the quarter ending June 30, 2006. Therefore, the rate in effect for the period July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 reflects the average investment rates for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2006.
