Announcing the Twenty First Public
Meeting of the Crash Injury Research
and Engineering Network (CIREN)
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
ACTION: Meeting announcement.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
Twenty First Public Meeting of
members of the Crash Injury Research
and Engineering Network. CIREN is a
collaborative effort to conduct research
on crashes and injuries at six Level I
Trauma Centers across the United States
linked by a computer network. The
current CIREN model utilizes two types
of centers, medical and engineering.
Medical centers are based at Level I
Trauma Centers that admit large
numbers of people injured in motor
vehicle crashes. These teams are led by
trauma surgeons and emergency
physicians and also include a crash
investigator and project coordinator.
Engineering centers are based at
academic engineering laboratories that
have experience in motor vehicle crash
and human injury research. Engineering
teams partner with trauma centers to
enroll crash victims into the CIREN
program. Engineering teams are led by
mechanical engineers, typically trained
in the area of impact biomechanics.
Engineering teams also include trauma/
emergency physicians, a crash
investigator, and a project coordinator.
Either type of team typically includes
additional physicians and/or engineers,
epidemiologists, nurses, and other
researchers.The CIREN process
combines prospective data collection
with professional multidisciplinary
analysis of medical and engineering
evidence to determine injury causation
in every crash investigation conducted.
Researchers can review data and share
expertise, which may lead to a better
understanding of crash injury
mechanisms and the design of safer
vehicles.The six centers will give
presentations on current research based
on CIREN data. Topics include:
Understanding Brain Injury
Mechanisms: Integrating Real World
Lesions, Anthropomorphic Test Device
Response, and Finite Element Modeling;

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Surface Transportation Board
[Docket No. FD 35754]
RSL Railroad, LLC—Lease and
Operation Exemption—Line of Norfolk
Southern Railway Company
RSL Railroad, LLC (RSL), a Class III
rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to
lease from Norfolk Southern Railway
Company (NSR), and to operate, an
approximately 1.40-mile rail line,
known as the South Massillon IT,
between mileposts MT 0.00 and MT
1.40 in Massillon, Ohio.
RSL states that it currently provides
service over a 1.27-mile segment of track
owned by the Massillon Energy &
Technology Park in Massillon, and by
this transaction will extend its
operations by 1.40 additional miles,
reaching a new connection and
interchange point with NSR at milepost
MT 0.00.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after September 7, 2013, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the exemption was filed).
RSL certifies that its projected annual
revenues as a result of this transaction
will not exceed $5 million or result in
the creation of a Class II or Class I rail
carrier.
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 August 30, 2013
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and ten copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35754, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on John D. Heffner,
Strasburger & Price, LLP, 1700 K St.
NW., Suite 640, Washington, DC 20006.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our Web site at
www.stb.dot.gov.
