(IARR) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 223.11— Requirements for existing locomotives. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2015–0049. IARR of Steamboat Rock, IA, has petitioned for a permanent waiver of compliance for one locomotive, CANX 1236, from the requirements of the railroad safety glazing standards at 49 CFR part 223 that require certified glazing in all windows. In June 2006, IARR acquired the dormant rail-banked track between Milepost 212.0 at or near Steamboat Rock and Milepost 201.46 at or near Ackley, IA, a distance of 10.54 miles, from the North Central Railway Association, Inc. This rail-banked track, all of which is in a rural area, has been rehabilitated, and the line, designated as yard limits, is currently in use. The main products handled by IARR include ethanol, grain, and chemicals/fertilizers. The railroad interchanges with the Chicago Central and Pacific Railroad (owned by Canadian National Railway) at Ackley. The locomotive is an EMD SW1200 diesel switcher locomotive (weight, 230,000 pounds) built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in 1956. Power is provided by an EMD 567C 12-cylinder engine that generates 1,200 horsepower (895 kW). The switcher uses the traditional carbody and rounded-cab roof-line. The existing safety glazing in the locomotive is in good condition. IARR states that there has been no history of glazing-related accidents or injuries during its operations since 2006. The expense of retrofitting the locomotive to comply with FRA safety glazing standards is financially burdensome, and IARR is, therefore, requesting the waiver of the regulation at 49 CFR 223.11 for its locomotive listed above. A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:58 Jul 20, 2015 Jkt 235001 Washington, DC 20590.

[FR Doc. 2015–17821 Filed 7–20–15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–81–P DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Debt Management Advisory Committee Meeting Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(a)(2), that a meeting will be held at the Hay-Adams Hotel, 16th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC, on August 4, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. of the following debt management advisory committee: Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee of The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. The agenda for the meeting provides for a charge by the Secretary of the Treasury or his designate that the Committee discuss particular issues and conduct a working session. Following the working session, the Committee will present a written report of its recommendations. The meeting will be closed to the public, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(d) and P.L. 103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B)(31 U.S.C. 3121 note). This notice shall constitute my determination, pursuant to the authority placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(d) and vested in me by Treasury Department Order No. 101–05, that the meeting will consist of discussions and debates of the issues presented to the Committee by the Secretary of the Treasury and the maldng of recommendations of the Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to Public Law 103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B). Thus, this information is exempt from disclosure under that provision and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the meeting is concerned with information that is exempt from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(A). The public interest requires that such meetings be closed to the public because the Treasury Department requires frank and full advice from representatives of the financial community prior to making its final decisions on major financing operations. Historically, this advice has been offered by debt management VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:58 Jul 20, 2015 Jkt 235001 advisory committees established by the several major segments of the financial community. When so utilized, such a committee is recognized to be an advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 2, § 3. Although the Treasury’s final announcement of financing plans may not reflect the recommendations provided in reports of the Committee, premature disclosure of the Committee’s deliberations and reports would be likely to lead to significant financial speculation in the securities market. Thus, this meeting falls within the exemption covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(A). Treasury staff will provide a technical briefing to the press on the day before the Committee meeting, following the release of a statement of economic conditions and financing estimates. This briefing will give the press an opportunity to ask questions about financing projections. The day after the Committee meeting, Treasury will release the minutes of the meeting, any charts that were discussed at the meeting, and the Committee’s report to the Secretary. The Office of Debt Management is responsible for maintaining records of debt management advisory committee meetings and for providing annual reports selling forth a summary of Committee activities and such other matters as may be informative to the public consistent with the policy of 5 U.S.C. 552(b). The Designated Federal Officer or other responsible agency official who may be contacted for additional information is Fred Pietrangeli, Director for Office of Debt Management (202) 622–1876. Dated: July 14, 2015. Seth B. Carpenter, Acting Assistant Secretary (for Financial Markets).
