[Docket No. FD 35776]
Union Pacific Railroad Company—
Operation Exemption—In Bexar and
Wilson Counties, Tex.
Union Pacific Railroad Company
(UP), a Class I rail carrier, has filed a
verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.31 to operate as a rail
common carrier over approximately
7,391 feet of track between milepost
16.1 and milepost 17.5 in Bexar and
Wilson Counties, Tex. (the Line).
According to UP, the Line lies entirely
within a right-of-way formerly occupied
by a line of railroad that was abandoned
in 1994 by UP’s predecessor, the
Southern Pacific Transportation
Company. UP states that following the
abandonment, the track and ties were
removed but UP retained ownership of
the right-of-way, which has not been
used for any non-rail purposes.
According to UP, in 2012, it was
approached by a potential customer,
Frac Resources, LP (Frac Resources),
interested in reinstating rail service on
the Line, and, in order to facilitate rail
service to its desired location on the
Line, Frac Resources constructed 7,391
feet of track to reach its facility. UP
states that as plans for rail service
developed, the parties determined that
the best course of action was for UP to
operate the Line as a rail common
carrier due primarily to the potential for
additional customers on the Line. To
this end, UP purchased the Line from
Frac Resources.1
The earliest the transaction can be
consummated is November 20, 2013, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the exemption was filed).
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 to stay must be
filed no later than November 13, 2013
(at least 7 days before the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35776, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
1 According to UP, at the time of the purchase the
Line was properly classified either as excepted
track pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10906 or a private track
outside the Board’s jurisdiction. Thus, UP asserts
that Board authority was not needed for UP to
purchase the Line.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Fiscal Service Bureau of the Fiscal
Service
Fee Schedule for the Transfer of U.S.
Treasury Book-Entry Securities Held
on the National Book-Entry System
Bureau of the Fiscal Service,
Fiscal Service, Treasury.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of the
Treasury (Treasury) is announcing a
SUMMARY:
new fee schedule applicable to transfers
of U.S. Treasury book-entry securities
maintained on the National Book-Entry
System (NBES) that occur on or after
January 2, 2014.
DATES: Effective January 2, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kristina Yeh, Bureau of the Fiscal
Service, 202–504–3550.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Treasury
has established a fee structure for the
transfer of Treasury book-entry
securities maintained on NBES.
Treasury reassesses this fee structure
periodically based on our review of the
latest book-entry costs and volumes.
For each Treasury securities transfer
or reversal sent or received on or after
January 2, 2014, the basic fee will be
unchanged at $0.56. The Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (Federal Reserve) will increase
its fee for Federal Reserve funds
movement from $0.09 to $0.11. This
will result in a combined fee of $0.67 for
each transfer of Treasury book-entry
securities. The surcharge for an off-line
Treasury book-entry securities transfer
will remain at $40.00. Off-line refers to
the sending and receiving of transfer
messages to or from a Federal Reserve
Bank by means other than on-line
access, such as by written, facsimile, or
telephone voice instruction. The basic
transfer fee assessed to both sends and
receives is reflective of costs associated
with the processing of securities
transfers. The off-line surcharge reflects
the additional processing costs
associated with the manual processing
of off-line securities transfers.
Treasury does not charge a fee for
account maintenance, the stripping and
reconstitution of Treasury securities, the
wires associated with original issues, or
interest and redemption payments.
Treasury currently absorbs these costs.
The fees described in this notice
apply only to the transfer of Treasury
book-entry securities held on NBES.
Information concerning fees for bookentry transfers of Government Agency
securities, which are priced by the
Federal Reserve, is set out in a separate
Federal Register notice published by
the Federal Reserve.
The following is the Treasury fee
schedule that will take effect on January
2, 2014, for book-entry transfers on
NBES:
