Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2013 / Notices
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with
River I.4 As explained in more detail in
that decision, the Board required TRRC
to file a revised application that would
present the its current plans to build a
rail line between Miles City and
Ashland. In addition, the Board
announced that it would conduct a new
environmental review, rather than a
supplemental environmental review
based on the three prior environmental
reviews conducted in Tongue River I,
Tongue River II, and Tongue River III.
In its revised application filed on
October 16, 2012, TRRC proposed to go
forward with the Tongue River I project,
although in modified form.5 After
reviewing the submission, the Board, in
a decision served on November 1, 2012,
clarified that the Board’s review in this
proceeding would include not only the
new environmental review of the entire
construction project, but also an
examination of the transportation merits
supporting the entire Tongue River I
line.6 The November 1 decision also
directed TRRC to supplement the
revised application to provide a
sufficient record for the Board’s review,
including additional evidence and
argument in support of the
transportation merits. Finally, the
decision established a new procedural
schedule for filings on the
transportation merits appropriate for
this proceeding and required that TRRC
publish notices consistent with that
decision.
On December 17, 2012, TRRC filed a
supplemental application intended to
supersede the October 16 filing. TRRC
explained that, in its October 16
application, it had proposed the
construction of a line between Miles
City, Mont., and Ashland/Otter Creek,
Mont., following a line similar to that
approved by the ICC in 1986. However,
TRRC now proposes a different routing,
known as the Colstrip Alignment, as its
preferred alignment.7
According to TRRC, it would
construct the line, and the line would be
operated solely by BNSF Railway
4 See Tongue River R.R.—Rail Constr. and
Operation—In Custer, Powder River and Rosebud
Cntys., Mont., FD 30186, et al., slip op. at 2 (STB
served June 18, 2012).
5 Although the decision granting Tongue River I
authorized the construction of an 89-mile line,
TRRC described the line in its October 16 filing as
being approximately 83 miles in length, based on
refinements that would straighten and shorten the
alignment.
6 The Board’s review of construction applications
is governed by 49 U.S.C. 10901, its regulations at
49 CFR 1150.1–1150.10, and the requirements of
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f (and related environmental
laws).
7 The ICC had examined a variation on the
Colstrip Alignment as a potential route in Tongue
River I.

Company (BNSF), which owns a onethird interest in TRRC’s parent
company, Tongue River Holding
Company, LLC. TRRC states that, if
selected as the preferred route, the 42mile Colstrip Alignment would provide
rail transportation for low sulfur, subbituminous coal from proposed mines
in Rosebud and Powder River Counties,
Mont., to an existing BNSF line, and
consequently to the rest of the national
rail network. Specifically, the line
would connect at the north end with an
existing and lightly used BNSF line
known as the Colstrip Subdivision,
which currently connects with the
Forsyth Subdivision at Nichols Wye, a
point approximately 6 miles west of
Forsyth and approximately 50 miles
west of Miles City. At its southern end,
the Colstrip Alignment would have the
same two termini south of Ashland as
those proposed by TRRC in its October
16 filing. Terminus Point 1 would,
therefore, be at the previously proposed
Montco Mine location, and Terminus
Point 2 would lie along the Otter Creek
drainage. TRRC claims that the Colstrip
Alignment offers the shortest, most cost
effective, and least environmentally
impactful routing for the proposed line.
Comments on the transportation
aspects of TRRC’s supplemental
application may be filed on or before
March 1, 2013. Interested persons need
not be on the service list to file
comments on TRRC’s supplemental
application, but they must serve a copy
of their filing on TRRC and those on the
service list. At that point, the
commenting party will be added to the
service list. TRRC may file a reply to the
comments on or before April 15, 2013.
The Board’s environmental review for
this rail construction project is
proceeding separately from our review
of its transportation merits. Because the
construction and operation of this
project has the potential to result in
significant environmental impacts, the
Board’s Office of Environmental
Analysis (OEA) has determined that the
preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) is appropriate. OEA
issued a notice to stakeholders and the
public on October 22, 2012, announcing
its intent to prepare the EIS and
requesting comments on a draft scope of
study. In November, OEA held scoping
meetings in the project area to assist in
defining the range of issues and
alternatives to be considered in the EIS.
Comments on the scope of the EIS must
be submitted to OEA by January 11,
2013. Subsequently, OEA will issue a
final scope of study for the EIS.
Following the completion of scoping,
OEA will prepare and issue a Draft EIS
for public review and comment. The
PO 00000
Frm 00114
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

comments received will be addressed in
a Final EIS. The Draft and Final EISs
(including the public comments) will
serve as the basis for OEA’s
recommendations to the Board
regarding whether, from an
environmental perspective, TRRC’s
supplemental application should be
granted, granted with environmental
conditions, or denied.
The Board’s decision on TRRC’s
supplemental application then will take
into consideration both the
transportation merits and the
environmental impacts of constructing
and operating the proposed line.
This decision will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.

Decided: January 4, 2013.
By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice
Chairman Begeman, and Commissioner
Mulvey.

Title: Terrorism Risk Insurance
Program-Conflict of Interest Rebuttal
Procedures of the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Act.
Abstract: Sections 103 (a) and 104 of
the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of
2002 (Pub. L. 107–297) (as extended by
the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension
Act of 2005 (Pub.L. 109–144) and the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2007 (Pub.L.
110–160) authorize the Department of
the Treasury to administer and
implement the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Program established by the Act. Section
102 (2) of the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002 defines an ‘‘affiliate’’ with
respect to an insurer as ‘‘* * * any
entity that controls, is controlled by, or
is under common control with the
insurer’’. Section 102 (3) of the Act
defines ‘‘Control’’. Section 102(6)
defines ‘‘insurer’’ to include ‘‘ * * *
any affiliate thereof’’. Taken together
these definitions comprise one element
in calculating costs and payments to the
insurer under the Program. As such,
there could be questions as to whether
an affiliate relation exists between
specific insurers. The referenced
Regulation sets forth information which,
if provided by an insurer on its
initiative, could rebut presumptions
that, if not refuted, would lead to a
determination that an affiliate
relationship exists. This clearance
action is for the data submission
specified in 31 CFR 50.8.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved data collection.
Affected Public: Business/Financial
Institutions.

Background
On August 28, 2003, the President
issued Executive Order 13315 (the
‘‘Order’’) pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq., the National
Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.,
section 5 of the United Nations
Participation Act, as amended, 22 U.S.C.
287c, section 301 of title 3, United
States Code, and in view of United
Nations Security Council Resolution
1483 of May 22, 2003. In the Order, the
President expanded the scope of the
national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003,
to address the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United
States posed by obstacles to the orderly
reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration
and maintenance of peace and security
in that country, and the development of
political, administrative, and economic
institutions in Iraq. The Order blocks
the property and interests in property
of, inter alia, persons listed on the
Annex to the Order.
On July 30, 2004, the President issued
Executive Order 13350, which, inter
alia, replaced the Annex to Executive
Order 13315 with a new Annex that
included the names of individuals and
entities, including individuals and
entities that had previously been
designated under Executive Order
12722 and related authorities.
The Department of the Treasury’s
Office of Foreign Assets Control has
determined that the following
individual and entity should be
removed from the SDN List:
Individual
1. SPECKMAN, Jeanine, United
Kingdom (individual) [IRAQ2].
Entity
1. EUROMAC EUROPEAN
MANUFACTURER CENTER SRL, Via
Ampere 5, Monza 20052, Italy [IRAQ2].
The removal of the individual’s and
entity’s names from the SDN List is
effective as of January 3, 2013. All
property and interests in property of the
individual and entity that are in or
hereafter come within the United States
or the possession or control of United
States persons are now unblocked.
