(MSCI),1 a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to change operators from Tishomingo Railroad Company, Inc. (TISH),2 to MSCI on a line of railroad of the State of Mississippi (the State), at Iuka, MS. Pursuant to an agreement with TISH, MSCI will lease and operate approximately 10 miles of rail line between Norfolk Southern Railway Company’s Iuka Wye at milepost 0.0, and the Tri-State Commerce Park at milepost 10.0, in Tishomingo County, MS. MSCI states that, pursuant to the lease agreement with the State, MSCI will lease, operate, maintain, and perform all common carrier service on the line. This change in operators is exempt under 49 CFR 1150.41(c).3 Based on projected revenues for the line, MSCI expects to remain a Class III rail carrier after consummation of the proposed transaction. MSCI certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier. MSCI states that it intends to consummate the transaction on August 1, 2009 (at least 30 days after the notice of exemption was filed), and that operations will begin thereafter. Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007), nothing in this decision 1 MSCI is controlled by Pioneer Railcorp. See Pioneer Railcorp—Continuance in Control Exemption—Gettysburg & Northern Railroad Co., STB Finance Docket No. 34010 (STB served Feb. 27, 2001). 2 See Tishomingo Railroad Company, Inc.—Lease and Operation Exemption—Line of State of Mississippi at Iuka, MS, STB Finance Docket No. 33806 (STB served Oct. 28, 1999). 3 In order to quality for a change in operators exemption, an applicant must give notice to shippers on the line. See 49 CFR 1150.42(b). MSCI states that no shippers are known to have shipped or received freight within the last 2 years, therefore no service of this notice is required on shippers. MSCI also certifies that a copy of the verified notice of exemption was sent to the State. VerDate Nov<24>2008 22:16 Jul 09, 2009 Jkt 217001 authorizes the following activities at any solid waste rail transfer facility: Collecting, storing, or transferring solid waste outside of its original shipping container; or separating or processing solid waste (including baling, crushing, compacting, and shredding). The term ‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6903. 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 effectiveness of the exemption. Petitions for stay must be filed no later than July 17, 2009 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB Finance Docket No. 35258, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423– 0001.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. SUMMARY: The OCC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on a continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OCC is soliciting comment concerning its information collection titled, ‘‘Minimum Security Devices and Procedures, Reports of Suspicious Activities, and Bank Secrecy Act Compliance—12 CFR 21.’’ The OCC also gives notice that it has sent the information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. VerDate Nov<24>2008 22:16 Jul 09, 2009 Jkt 217001 DATES: Comments must be received by August 10, 2009. ADDRESSES: Communications Division, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Public Information Room, Mailstop 2–3, Attention: 1557–0180, 250 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20219. In addition, comments may be sent by fax to (202) 874–5274, or by electronic mail to regs.comments@occ.treas.gov. You may personally inspect and photocopy comments at the OCC, 250 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20219. For security reasons, the OCC requires that visitors make an appointment to inspect comments. You may do so by calling (202) 874–4700.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You can request additional information or a copy of the collection from Mary H. Gottlieb, OCC Clearance Officer, (202) 874–5090, Legislative and Regulatory Activities Division, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, 250 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20219. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend OMB approval of the following information collection: Title: Minimum Security Devices and Procedures, Reports of Suspicious Activities, and Bank Secrecy Act Compliance—12 CFR 21. OMB Control No.: 1557–0180. SAR Form Nos.: 8010/8010–9. Description: This submission covers an existing regulation and involves no change to the regulation or to the information collection requirements. The OCC requests only that OMB extend its approval of the information collection. Minimum Security Devices and Procedures (12 CFR 21.2 and 21.4) Under §§ 21.2 and 21.4, a national bank is required to designate a security officer who must develop and administer a written security program. The security officer shall report at least annually to the bank’s board of directors on the effectiveness of the security program. The substance of the report shall be reflected in the Board’s minutes. These requirements ensure that the security officer is responsible for the security program and that bank management and the board of directors PO 00000 Frm 00116 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 are aware of the content and effectiveness of the program. These requirements ensure prudent bank management and bank safety and soundness. The OCC uses the information to ensure that national banks carefully review the effectiveness of their security systems and comply with Federal law. The information collection ensures that national banks conduct their activities in accordance with safe and sound principles. A national bank’s board of directors uses the information to ensure that the bank’s security system is adequate. Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) (12 CFR 21.11) In 1992, the Department of the Treasury was granted broad authority to require suspicious transaction reporting under the Bank Secrecy Act. See 31 U.S.C. 5318(g). FinCEN, which has been delegated authority to administer the Bank Secrecy Act, joined with the bank regulators in 1996 in requiring, on a consolidated form (the SAR form), reports of suspicious transactions. See 31 CFR 103.18(a). The filing of SARs is necessary to prevent and detect crimes involving bank funds, bank insiders, criminal transactions, and money laundering. These requirements are necessary to ensure bank safety and soundness. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and Federal financial institution supervisory agencies 1 (bank regulators) adopted the SAR in 1996 to simplify the process through which depository institutions (banks) inform their regulators and law enforcement about suspected criminal activity. The SAR was updated in 1999, 2002, and 2006. The 2006 revisions to the SAR form enhanced the clarity of the instructions to allow for joint filing of SARs, and improved the usefulness of the SAR to law enforcement. These revisions were originally scheduled to become effective on June 30, 2007. On May 1, 2007, FinCEN issued a notice to communicate a delay in the dates for using the revised SAR form, and stated its intention to establish new effective dates in a future notice consistent with its data quality initiatives.2 FinCEN has 1 The five Federal financial institution supervisory agencies are the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). 2 83 FR 23891 (May 1, 2007). This announcement did not affect the BSA filing requirements, and financial institutions were to continue to use the July 2003 form until further notice.
