SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Maritime Administration (MARAD). Title: MARAD Maritime Operator Survey Concerning Mariner Availability. OMB Control Number: 2133–NEW. Type of Request: New collection. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:57 Jul 02, 2007 Jkt 211001 Affected Public: Vessel operating companies representing different sectors of the U.S. maritime industry. Form(s): MA–1048. Abstract: Part of the stated statutory policy of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, is to foster the development and maintenance of an adequate U.S.-flag merchant marine manned with trained and efficient citizen personnel. In order to successfully meet this mandate, MARAD must determine whether a current or projected shortage of mariners exists and if there is an operational or business impact on the merchant marine. MARAD believes that a brief preliminary survey is necessary at this time because it has received an abundance of anecdotal information indicating that there is a serious existing and projected mariner shortage in different market sectors. If the preliminary survey indicates that there is a projected shortage that appears to be more than short-term, MARAD will follow-up with a more detailed survey to analyze the shortage and ascertain the best means to address it. Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 33.34 hours (20 minutes per respondent). Addressee: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention MARAD Desk Officer. Comments Are Invited On: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication. (Authority: 49 CFR 1.66.) Issued in Washington, DC on June 25, 2007. Daron T.

The line traverses United States Postal Service Zip Codes 39773, 39741, 39755, 39750, 39752, 39744, 39767, 39747, 38967, 38943, 38947, and 38930. CAGY has certified that: (1) No local traffic has moved over the line for at least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic on the line can be rerouted over other lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by a user of rail service on the line (or by a state or local government entity acting on behalf of such user) regarding cessation of service over the line either is pending with the Surface Transportation Board or with any U.S. District Court or has been decided in favor of complainant within the 2-year period; and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 1105.12 (newspaper publication) and 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental agencies) have been met. As a condition to this exemption, any employee adversely affected by the discontinuance of service shall be protected under Oregon Short Line R. Co.—Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). To address whether this condition adequately protects affected employees, a petition for partial revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) must be filed. Provided no formal expression of intent to file an offer of financial assistance (OFA) has been received, this exemption will be effective on August 3, 2007, unless stayed pending reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do not involve environmental issues and formal expressions of intent to file an OFA for continued rail service under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),1 must be filed by July 13, 2007.2 Petitions to reopen must 1 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing fee, which currently is set at $1,300. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 2 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and public use conditions are not appropriate.

    Type of Request: New collection.
    Affected Public: Vessel operating companies representing different 
sectors of the U.S. maritime industry.

    Abstract: Part of the stated statutory policy of the Merchant 
Marine Act, 1936, is to foster the development and maintenance of an

citizen personnel. In order to successfully meet this mandate, MARAD

exists and if there is an operational or business impact on the 
merchant marine. MARAD believes that a brief preliminary survey is 
necessary at this time because it has received an abundance of 
anecdotal information indicating that there is a serious existing and 
projected mariner shortage in different market sectors. If the 
preliminary survey indicates that there is a projected shortage that 
appears to be more than short-term, MARAD will follow-up with a more 
detailed survey to analyze the shortage and ascertain the best means to 
address it.
    Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 33.34 hours (20 minutes per 
respondent).

Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street,

    Comments Are Invited On: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. A comment to OMB is best assured of having its 
full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.
