2. An increase in rail yard activity of
at least 20 percent or more in carload
activity (rail car switching and block
swapping).
3. Increase in truck traffic greater than
10 percent of average daily traffic (ADT)
or 50 trucks per day.
B. Discuss the net change in
emissions from changes in railroad
operations associated with the proposed
transaction. Net emissions changes will
be calculated for counties with
projected proposed transaction-related
changes in train traffic.
C. Discuss the following information
regarding the anticipated transportation
of ozone depleting materials (such as
nitrogen oxide and Freon):
1. Materials and quantity;
2. Applicants’ safety practices;
3. Applicants’ safety record (within
the United States) on derailments,
accidents, and spills;
4. Contingency plans to address
accidental spills; and
5. Likelihood of an accidental release
of ozone depleting materials in the
event of a collision or derailment.
D. Discuss potential air emissions
increases from vehicle delays at
highway/rail at-grade crossings where
the crossing is projected to experience a
change in rail traffic arising from the
proposed transaction over the
thresholds described above. Such
increases will be factored into the net
emissions estimates for the affected
area.
E. Estimate potential increases or
decreases in diesel particulate emissions
arising from the proposed transaction.
F. Discuss potential for changes in
greenhouse gas emissions arising from
the proposed transaction and how such
changes may relate to climate change.

9. Noise and Vibration
The EIS will:
A. Describe potential noise and
vibration impacts of the proposed
transaction for those areas that exceed
the Board’s environmental thresholds
identified in the Air Quality section.
B. Identify whether the proposed
transaction-related increases in rail
traffic will cause an increase to a noise
level of 65 dBA Ldn and 3 dBA Ldn or
greater. If so, an estimate of the number
of sensitive receptors (e.g., schools and
residences) within such areas will be
made.
C. Assess potential proposed
transaction-related vibration effects
based on Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) vibration methodology in areas
where it appears there may be vibration
sensitive receptors within or
immediately adjacent to the railroad
right of way.

D. Discuss existing or planned Quiet
Zones.
10. Biological Resources
The EIS will:
A. Discuss the potential
environmental impacts of construction
of proposed connections, siding
extensions, and installation of double
track on federal or state endangered or
threatened species or designated critical
habitats.
B. Discuss the effects of construction
of proposed rail connections, siding
extensions, and installation of double
track on wildlife sanctuaries or refuges,
and national or state parks or forests.
C. Discuss potential effects of
proposed transaction-related increased
train traffic on federal or state
designated protected species or areas of
special biological significance.
11. Water Resources
The EIS will:
A. Describe existing surface and
groundwater resources in the vicinity of
the EJ & E, particularly in areas of
planned construction activity.
B. Discuss whether potential impacts
from the construction of proposed rail
connections, siding extensions, and
installation of double track may be
inconsistent with applicable federal or
state water quality standards.
C. Discuss whether permits may be
required under Sections 404 or 402 of
the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) for
any construction of proposed rail
connections, siding extensions, and
installation of double track, and
whether any such projects have the
potential to encroach upon any
designated wetlands or 100-year
floodplains.
D. Discuss hydrogeology in the study
area and presence of any designated
sensitive groundwater areas.

of rail connections, siding extensions,
and installation of double track on
cultural and historic resources that are
within areas potentially disturbed by
construction activities.
14. Indirect and Cumulative Effects
The EIS will:
A. Address indirect and cumulative
effects of environmental impacts that
have regional or system-wide
ramifications. This analysis will be done
for environmental impacts that warrant
such analysis given the context and
scope of the proposed transaction.
B. Discuss as part of the indirect and
cumulative impact analysis the
potential environmental impacts of yard
modification activities on railroadowned property that would potentially
be affected by the proposed transaction.
C. Evaluate indirect and cumulative
effects, as appropriate, for other projects
or activities that relate to the proposed
transaction where SEA determines that
there is the likelihood of significant
environmental impacts and where
information is provided to the Board
that describes (1) those other projects or
activities, (2) their interrelationship
with the proposed acquisition, and (3)
the type and severity of the potential
environmental impacts. This
information must be provided to the
Board within sufficient time to allow for
review and analysis in the EIS.
15. Mitigation
Where SEA determines there is
potential for significant adverse impacts
arising from the proposed transaction,
SEA will consider reasonable mitigation
measures that could reduce or eliminate
such adverse impacts. SEA may
consider a range of mitigation measures
based on the nature and severity of the
potential impact and consistent with the
Board’s jurisdiction and authority.
12. Environmental Justice
[FR Doc. E8–9214 Filed 4–25–08; 8:45 am]
The EIS will:
A. Report on the demographics in the
immediate vicinity of any area where
major activity such as construction of
rail connections, siding extensions, and/
or installation double track is proposed.
B. Report on the demographics in the
vicinity of rail lines with projected
proposed transaction-related rail traffic
increases above the Board’s thresholds
for environmental review.
C. Evaluate whether such activities
potentially have a disproportionately
high and adverse effect on any minority
or low-income group.

establishes a program targeting the
activities of significant foreign narcotics
traffickers and their organizations on a
worldwide basis. It provides a statutory
framework for the President to impose
sanctions against significant foreign

narcotics traffickers and their
organizations on a worldwide basis,
with the objective of denying their
businesses and agents access to the U.S.
financial system and to the benefits of
trade and transactions involving U.S.
companies and individuals.
The Kingpin Act blocks all property
and interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, owned or controlled by
significant foreign narcotics traffickers
as identified by the President. In

subject to U.S. jurisdiction, of foreign
persons designated by the Secretary of
Treasury, in consultation with the
Attorney General, the Director of Central
Intelligence, the Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the

narcotics trafficking activities of a
person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or

a person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant
role in international narcotics
trafficking.
On April 22, 2008, OFAC designated

ACTION: Request for Applications.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) requests applications of
individuals to be considered for
selection as Internal Revenue Service
Advisory Council (IRSAC) members.
Applications will be accepted for
current vacancies and should describe
and document the applicant’s
qualifications for membership. IRSAC is
comprised of up to thirty (30) appointed
members; approximately three of these
appointments will expire in December
2008. It is important that the IRSAC
continue to represent a diverse taxpayer
and stakeholder base. Accordingly, to
maintain membership diversity,
selection is based on the applicant’s
qualifications as well as areas of
expertise.
The Internal Revenue Service
Advisory Council (IRSAC) provides an
organized public forum for IRS officials
and representatives of the public to
discuss relevant tax administration
issues. The council advises the IRS on
issues that have a substantive effect on
federal tax administration. As an
advisory body designed to focus on
broad policy matters, the IRSAC reviews
existing tax policy and/or recommends
policies with respect to emerging tax
administration issues. The IRSAC
