Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 48 / Friday, March 13, 2009 / Notices For the foregoing reasons, the agency hereby grants in full VW’s petition for exemption for the Audi A3 vehicle line from the parts-marking requirements of 49 CFR part 541. The agency notes that 49 CFR part 541, Appendix A–1, identifies those lines that are exempted from the Theft Prevention Standard for a given model year. 49 CFR part 543.7(f) contains publication requirements incident to the disposition of all part 543 petitions. Advanced listing, including the release of future product nameplates, the beginning model year for which the petition is granted and a general description of the antitheft device is necessary in order to notify law enforcement agencies of new vehicle lines exempted from the partsmarking requirements of the Theft Prevention Standard. If VW decides not to use the exemption for this line, it must formally notify the agency. If such a decision is made, the line must be fully marked according to the requirements under 49 CFR parts 541.5 and 541.6 (marking of major component parts and replacement parts). NHTSA notes that if VW wishes in the future to modify the device on which this exemption is based, the company may have to submit a petition to modify the exemption. Part 543.7(d) states that a part 543 exemption applies only to vehicles that belong to a line exempted under this part and equipped with the anti-theft device on which the line’s exemption is based. Further, part 543.9(c)(2) provides for the submission S.P No. S.P No. of petitions ‘‘to modify an exemption to permit the use of an antitheft device similar to but differing from the one specified in that exemption.’’ The agency wishes to minimize the administrative burden that part 543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted vehicle manufacturers and itself. The agency did not intend in drafting part 543 to require the submission of a modification petition for every change to the components or design of an antitheft device. The significance of many such changes could be de minimis. Therefore, NHTSA suggests that if the manufacturer contemplates making any changes, the effects of which might be characterized as de minimis, it should consult the agency before preparing and submitting a petition to modify.

Institution of declaratory order proceeding; request for comments. AGENCY: ACTION: sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES SUMMARY: In response to a petition filed by Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) on February 18, 2009, the Board is instituting a declaratory order proceeding under 49 U.S.C. 721 and 5 U.S.C. 554(e).1 UP requests that the Board determine the extent of the common carrier obligation to quote rates for new, lengthy movements of chlorine, a toxic inhalation hazard (TIH), where the transportation would require movement through High Threat Urban Areas (HTUAs) 2 and other large communities to destinations where, 1 By a separate decision served on March 10, 2009, the Board issued a protective order in this proceeding. 2 As UP refers to them, HTUAs are defined by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at 49 CFR 1580.3.

To authorize the transportation in commerce of certain waste medicines in packagings that exceed the maximum authorized net quantity as required by Special Provision 36 when transported by motor vehicle. (mode 1) To authorize the transportation in commerce of pure compressed gas as an ‘aerosol.’ (mode 1) To authorize the continued transportation in commerce of one 2OWC packaging containing radioactive material after October 1, 2008. (mode 1) To authorize the use of a corded polyester lashing securement system for blocking and bracing hazardous materials transported by rail. (mode 2) To authorize the transportation in commerce of PCB capacitors in non-DOT specification bulk containers. (mode 1) according to UP, an ample supply of chlorine is available from nearby sources. The Board seeks public comment on this matter. DATES: Replies to UP’s petition and comments are due by March 31, 2009. UP’s rebuttal and reply to comments are due by April 20, 2009. ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either via the Board’s e-filing format or in the traditional paper format. Any person using e-filing should attach a document and otherwise comply with the instructions at the EFILING link on the Board’s website, at https://www.stb.dot.gov. Any person submitting a filing in the traditional paper format should send an original and 10 copies, referring to STB Finance Docket No. 35219, to: Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–0001. In addition, send one copy of comments to UP’s representative, Tonya W. Conley, Union Pacific Railroad Company, 1400 Douglas Street, Omaha, NE 68179. Copies of written comments will be available for viewing and self-copying at the Board’s Public Docket Room, Room 131, and will be posted to the Board’s Web site. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timothy Strafford, (202) 245–0356.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: UP, as a rail common carrier, has an obligation under 49 U.S.C. 11101(b) to provide common carrier rates and other service terms upon reasonable request. UP’s petition for declaratory order seeks to address a recent request from a customer for common carriage rates for the transportation of chlorine from Utah to destinations in or near Houston and Dallas, TX, and Allemania and Plaquemine, LA. These movements would average 1,900 miles in distance and travel through two HTUAs and several other large cities. UP declined to quote rates for these movements, pending the outcome of this proceeding, because, according to UP, the risk of potential exposure from long distance shipments of chlorine is unnecessary where all four of these destinations are located less than 300 miles from ample alternate chlorine supplies. UP asserts that the facilities in both Allemania and Plaquemine have alternate chlorine sources accessible by rail within 70 miles, none of which will route through any HTUAs, and that the facilities in Houston and Dallas have alternative chlorine sources within 300 miles, with potential sources located in the Houston metropolitan area. UP also asserts that other governmental agencies have E:\FR\FM\13MRN1.SGM 13MRN1
