Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 13, 2012 / Notices
Under the schedule, RTC requests that
after a declaratory order proceeding has
been instituted, opening comments be
due on day 30; reply comments be due
on day 60; RTC’s rebuttal comments be
due on day 75; and a decision by the
Board be served on day 135. On January
23, 2012, the American Train
Dispatchers Association (ATDA) filed
an opposition to the request for a
procedural schedule. ATDA states that
there is no reason to prolong the case by
requesting additional comments and
briefings.3
The petition for a declaratory order
raises issues that require consideration
by the Board. By this decision, the
Board is instituting a proceeding under
49 U.S.C. 721(a). An accurate and
complete record is required for the
Board to determine whether it has
jurisdiction over RTC. Therefore, RTC
and ATDA are directed to supplement
the record in this proceeding by March
28, 2012, with copies of their respective
filings submitted to the Retirement
Board and D.C. Circuit in the course of
those proceedings. If parties other than
RTC and ATDA submitted filings before
the Retirement Board and D.C. Circuit,
RTC must submit copies of those filings,
as well as any transcripts of proceedings
before those bodies. Because this
additional information will assist the
Board in making a jurisdictional
determination, no further briefings from
the parties are necessary, and the
request for a procedural schedule is
denied.
This action will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.
