On January 6, 1993, a decision and notice of interim trail use or abandonment (NITU) was served by the Board’s predecessor agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission, in Missouri Pacific Railroad Co. —Abandonment Exemption—In Muskogee, McIntosh and Haskell Counties, OK, Docket No. AB–3 (SubNo. 104X), establishing a 180-day period for Missouri Pacific Railroad Company (MP) 1 to negotiate an interim trail use/ rail banking agreement under the National Trails System Act, 16 U.S.C. 1247(d) for a 43.0-mile rail line extending from milepost 93.50, at or near Shopton, to milepost 50.50, near Kerr McGee, in Muskogee, McIntosh, and Haskell Counties, OK. Trail negotiations were successful and an agreement for rail banking and interim trail use was reached in the Line Donation Contract (Contract) between MP, the Port, and Indian Nations Recreation Trail (INRT). Pursuant to that agreement, the Port obtained the right to use the 4.7-mile segment described above for rail banking and interim trail use.2 The Port now wishes to reactivate service over the 4.7 mile line segment.3 The Port certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not result in the Port becoming a Class II or Class I rail carrier and further certifies that its projected annual revenues will not exceed $5 million. The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on May 10, 2009, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption is filed). 1 Union Pacific Railroad is the successor-ininterest to MP. 2 The NITU governing the rest of the line is not at issue here. 3 Port simultaneously filed a petition to vacate the NITU issued in Missouri Pacific Railroad Co. —Abandonment Exemption—In Muskogee, McIntosh and Haskell Counties, OK, Docket No. AB–3 (Sub-No. 104X) (ICC served Jan. 6, 1993).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kirk Allen, Statistician, Evaluation Division, NVS–431, National Center for Statistics and Analysis, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Room W53–457, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. Telephone: 202–366–9308. E-mail: kirk.allen@dot.gov. For information about NHTSA’s evaluations of the effectiveness of existing regulations and programs: Visit the NHTSA Web site at https:// www.nhtsa.dot.gov and click ‘‘NCSA’’ near the upper right corner on the home page; then click ‘‘Regulatory Evaluation’’ under ‘‘Browse Topics’’ on the ‘‘NCSA’’ page. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards mandate antilock braking systems (ABS) on heavy vehicles and underride guards (URG) on heavy trailers. Repair receipts from in-service vehicles were analyzed to estimate the maintenance and repair expenses to the ABS and URG. The average ABS expenses per month of operation were $0.85 for tractors and $0.25 for trailers. The presence of ABS did not increase expenses to other parts of the brake system. The estimated lifetime maintenance and repair expenses were notably smaller than the cost of equipping new vehicles with ABS. Repairs to the trailer URG averaged $0.16 per month of service. (All values are in 2007 dollars.) Procedural Matters How can I influence NHTSA’s thinking on this subject? NHTSA welcomes public review of the technical report. The agency is interested in learning of any additional data that may be useful in the evaluations. The availability of data on later model year tractors and trailers is especially relevant because ABSequipped vehicles in this analysis could have been at most six years old. NHTSA will submit to the Docket a response to the comments and, if appropriate, will supplement or revise the report. How do I prepare and submit comments? Your comments must be written and in English. To ensure that your comments are correctly filed in the Docket, please include the Docket number of this document (NHTSA– 2009–0086) in your comments. Your primary comments must not be more than 15 pages long (49 CFR 553.21). However, you may attach additional documents to your primary E:\FR\FM\24APN1.SGM 24APN1
