Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 13, 2007 / Notices
determine how C3RS can continue after
the test period is over. The evaluation
is needed to provide the FRA with
guidance as to how it can improve the
program, and how it might be scaled up
throughout the railroad industry.
Program evaluation is an inherently
data driven activity. Its basic tenet is
that as change is implemented, data can
be collected to track the course and
consequences of the change. Because of
the setting in which C3RS is being
implemented, that data must come from
the railroad employees (labor and
management) who may be affected.
Critical data include beliefs about safety
and issues related to safety, and
opinions/observations about the
operation of C3RS.
In order to collect the necessary data
in a manner that protects
confidentiality, the data collection
process will be managed by the Volpe
Center. The Volpe Center will not
release to FRA or any other public or
private entity any information that
might reveal the identity of individuals
or organizations mentioned in the
evaluation survey questionnaires. Also
the respondents will not be asked to
identify themselves.
II. Request for Comments
The Volpe Center requests comments
on any aspects of these information
collections, including: (1) The accuracy
of the estimated burden; (2) ways to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(3) ways to minimize the collection
burden without reducing the quality of
the information collected, including
additional use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Issued in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on
February 6, 2007.
Nelson H. Keeler,
Director, Office of Aviation Programs.

Cherokee Wood Products, Inc.
Williams Rail Service, LLC (WRS), a
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to
acquire (by purchase and lease) and to
operate two separate track segments,
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
totaling approximately 1,900 feet of
track, in Cherokee County, SC, and
Union County, NC. After consummation
of the transaction, WRS expects to
become and remain a Class III rail
carrier.
Pursuant to an agreement that will be
executed before consummation, WRS
will acquire: (1) By lease from Duchess
Investments V, LLC, approximately 600
feet of track near the intersection of Orr
Road and Wesley Chapel Stouts Road,
in Monroe, Union County, NC, which
was formerly used to serve an entity
called HoltraChem, and connects with a
CSX Transportation, Inc. line; and (2) by
purchase from G&G/Cherokee Wood
Products, Inc., approximately 1,300 feet
of track near the intersection of Tribal
Road and I–85 in Blacksburg, Cherokee
County, SC, which was formerly used to
serve a log home builder, and connects
with a Norfolk Southern Railway
Company line. WRS anticipates
shipping primarily agricultural products
off both track segments, and may enter
into agreements with contract agents to
perform some services solely for the
benefit of WRS.
WRS certifies that its projected annual
revenues as a result of the transaction
will not exceed $5 million and will not
result in the creation of a Class II or
Class I carrier. WRS intends to
consummate the transaction and
commence operations no sooner than
March 1, 2007 (the effective date of the
exemption).
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.
Petitions for stay must be filed no later
than February 22, 2007 (at least 7 days
before the exemption becomes
effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
