to grant temporary overhead trackage
rights to Union Pacific Railroad
Company (UP) between milepost 678.5
near Alexandria, La., and milepost 780.7
at Lobdell Junction, La., a distance of
approximately 102.2 miles.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after December 28, 2014, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the verified notice of exemption
was filed). The temporary trackage
rights will expire on February 20, 2015.
The purpose of the temporary trackage
rights is to allow UP to bridge its train
service while UP’s rail lines are
impacted due to maintenance projects
in Louisiana.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employees affected by the acquisition of
the temporary trackage rights will be
protected by the conditions imposed in
Norfolk & Western Railway—Trackage
Rights—Burlington Northern, Inc., 354
I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in
Mendocino Coast Railway—Lease &

will be protected by the conditions set
out in Oregon Short Line Railroad—

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C.
91 (1979).
This notice is filed under 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(8). If it 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 December 19, 2014
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
1 A redacted version of the Agreement between
KCS and UP was filed with the notice of exemption.
UP states that, within ten days of its execution, it
will file an executed, redacted copy. UP also states
that it will file an unredacted copy along with a
motion for protective order. That motion will be
addressed in a separate decision.

Title: Retirement Savings Module of
the Household Financial Survey.
Abstract: The Treasury Department is
seeking OMB approval for an
information collection to inform its
administration of a new federal program
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
being launched this year that aims to
enable more low- and moderate-income
individuals to save for retirement.
As part of its work to launch the
program, Treasury is exploring several
approaches for enabling eligible
individuals to open and put savings into
the retirement accounts, including the
option of encouraging individuals to
open and fund the accounts when they
file their federal tax forms. The
Department contracted with the Center
for Social Development (CSD) at
Washington University in St. Louis to
assist with research on this topic. CSD
currently administers an annual
privately-funded survey, the Household
Financial Survey (HFS), through which
it gathers savings information from lowto moderate-income tax filers
immediately after they have filed their
tax forms. This national survey is
integrated into the no-cost version of
Intuit’s TurboTax tax preparation
software, and it reaches a significant
sample of people who could be eligible
for the accounts.
Starting in the 2015 tax filing season,
CSD will add a Treasury-funded
Retirement Savings Module to the 2015
HFS survey. The module will consist of
a series of questions focused on
individuals’ current retirement savings
goals, practices, and attitudes
surrounding retirement, along with
questions designed to glean insights on
the potential demand for the new
retirement savings accounts, such as
what aspects of the program would be
desirable to low- to moderate income
consumers, and whether these taxpayers
may be interested in opening an account
at tax time.
The 2015 iteration of the HFS survey
will be administered throughout the taxfiling season (January through April
2015). The HFS survey is distributed
electronically and takes approximately
20 minutes to complete. The Treasuryfunded Retirement Savings Module,
which will be added for the first time to
the 2015 HFS, is intended to take less
than 10 minutes (approximately 1⁄2 of
the time needed to complete the overall
survey). Participants will be invited to
complete the survey when they file their
federal income taxes. Participation in
the survey will be voluntary.
The information collected through the
Treasury-funded Retirement Savings
Module of the HFS will provide
baseline characteristics, needs, and
practices of a segment of the population
targeted by the federal program.
Affected Public: Individuals.
