Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 93 / Tuesday, May 14, 2013 / Notices vehicles and found no complaints matching the subject noncompliance. In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has determined that Nissan has met its burden of persuasion that the subject FMVSS No. 208 telltale noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, Nissan’s petition is hereby granted, and Nissan is exempted from the obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy for, the subject noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120. NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively, to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this decision only applies to approximately 102,254 vehicles that Nissan no longer controlled at the time that it determined that a noncompliance existed in the subject vehicles. However, the granting of this petition does not relieve vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of the noncompliant vehicles under their control after Nissan notified them that the subject noncompliance existed. Authority: (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at CFR 1.95 and 501.8) Issued on: May 7, 2013. Claude H. Harris, Director, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance.

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, DOT. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES ACTION: Notice of exemption. The Board is granting an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from the prior approval requirements at 49 U.S.C. 11323–25 for Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company (GTW), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian National Railway Company, to acquire from CSX Transportation, Inc. SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:52 May 13, 2013 Jkt 229001 (CSXT) an exclusive, perpetual, nonassignable railroad operating easement over: 1. The location of the railroad at-grade crossing, at or near Leewood, between CSXT at milepost 00F Z 371.26 and Illinois Central Railroad Company (IC) at milepost 387.85, including the underlying right-of-way extending 50 feet on either side of the centerline of the CSXT tracks to IC’s existing right-ofway and 75 feet on either side of the centerline of the IC tracks, together with appurtenances (other than the CSXT tracks outside the crossing) and related interlocking (Leewood Crossing); and 2. The location of the railroad at-grade crossing, at or near Aulon, between CSXT at milepost 0NI 224.05 and IC at milepost 390.0, including the underlying right-of-way extending approximately 50 feet on either side of the centerline of the CSXT track to IC’s existing right-of-way and 50 feet on either side of the centerline of the IC tracks, together with appurtenances (other than the CSXT tracks outside the crossing) and related interlocking (Aulon Crossing). This acquisition is related to the Board’s February 8, 2013 decision in this docket granting GTW’s petition for exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from the prior approval requirements at 49 U.S.C. 11323–25 to acquire from CSXT an operating easement over approximately 2.1 miles of CSXT’s Memphis Terminal Subdivision between Leewood, Tenn., and Aulon, Tenn. After the Board served that decision, CSXT and GTW realized that they had unintentionally failed to seek authority permitting the operating easement to span the Aulon and Leewood Crossings. By a decision served on May 9, 2013, the Board is granting GTW’s petition for supplemental authority and allowing it to expand its operating easement over these crossings. DATES: This exemption will be effective on June 8, 2013. Petitions to stay must be filed by May 20, 2013. Petitions to reopen must be filed by May 29, 2013.

Executive Order 13288, as amended by Executive Order 13391, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to block the property and interests in property of additional categories of persons beyond the category set forth in Executive Order 13288 prior to its amendment.
