Baby Jogger additionally informed
NHTSA that they have corrected all
labeling noncompliances and that all
future productions of the infant car seat/
stroller systems and stand-alone units
will be in full compliance with FMVSS
No. 213.
In summation, Baby Jogger believes
that the described noncompliance of the
subject infant car seat/stroller systems
and standalone units is inconsequential
to motor vehicle safety, and that its
petition, to exempt Baby Jogger from
providing recall notification of
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C.
30118 and remedying the recall
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C.
30120 should be granted.
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, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject child restraints that Baby
Jogger no longer controlled at the time
it determined that the noncompliance
existed. However, any decision on this
petition does not relieve child restraint
distributors and dealers of the
prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale,
or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant child restraints under
their control after Baby Jogger notified
them that the subject noncompliance
existed.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120:

of Governments (Six County) to
construct and operate a new line of
railroad between Salina, Utah, and a
connection with an existing line of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company near
Juab, Utah. The rail line would provide
an alternative rail service option to local
industries, particularly the Southern
Utah Fuel Company coal mine located

30-day notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3519 (PRA),
the Surface Transportation Board
(Board) gives notice that it is requesting
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval of an extension
of the information collection—Statutory
Licensing and Consolidation
Authority—further described below.
The Board previously published a
notice about this collection in the
Federal Register. 80 FR 38,508 (July 6,
2015). That notice allowed for a 60-day
public review and comment period. One
comment was received and is addressed
in the agency’s submission to OMB as
part of this approval process.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10901–03 and
§§ 11323–26, rail carriers and noncarriers are required to file an
application with the Board, or seek an
exemption (through petition or notice)
from the full application process under
§ 10502, before they may construct,
acquire, or operate a line of railroad;
abandon or discontinue operations over
a line of railroad; or consolidate their
interests through a merger or commoncontrol arrangement. (The relevant
information collections are described in
more detail below.)
Comments are requested concerning:
(1) The accuracy of the Board’s burden
estimates; (2) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; (3) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, when
appropriate; and (4) whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Board, including
whether the collection has practical
utility.

Filings are submitted electronically to
the Board; so there is no cost for filing
with the Board. However, respondents
are sometimes required, as part of this
collection, to send letters to certain
governmental agencies notifying them of
the proposed action being sought before
the Board. (Copies of these letters are
part of an environmental and historic
report that is sometimes required as part
of this collection.) Because some of
these agencies may require hard copy
letters, there may be some limited
mailing costs, which we have estimated
at approximately $12.50 per response.
Needs and Uses: Under the Interstate
Commerce Act, as amended by the ICC
Termination Act of 1995, Public Law
104–88, 109 Stat. 803 (1995), persons
seeking to construct, acquire or operate
a line of railroad and railroads seeking
to abandon or to discontinue operations
over a line of railroad or, in the case of
two or more railroads, to consolidate
their interests through merger or a
common-control arrangement are
required to file an application for prior
approval and authority with the Board.
See 49 U.S.C. 10901–03 and 11323–26.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, persons may
seek an exemption from many of the
application requirements of §§ 10901–
03 and 11323–26 by filing with the
Board a petition for exemption or notice
of exemption in lieu of an application.
The collection by the Board of these
applications, petitions, and notices
enables the Board to meet its statutory
duty to regulate the referenced rail
transactions. See Table—Statutory and
Regulatory Provisions below.
Retention Period: Information in these
collections is maintained by the Board
for ten years, after which it is
transferred to the National Archives as
permanent records.
DATES: Comments on this information
collection should be submitted by
October 8, 2015.

30-day notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3519 (PRA),
the Surface Transportation Board
(Board) gives notice that it is requesting
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval of an extension
of the information collection—Statutory

further described below. The Board
previously published a notice about this
collection in the Federal Register. 80 FR
38509 (July 6, 2015). That notice
allowed for a 60-day public review and
comment period. No comments were
received.
Under these statutory provisions, the
Board administers programs designed to
preserve railroad service or rail rightsof-way. When a line is proposed for
abandonment, affected shippers,
communities, or other interested
persons may seek to preserve rail
service by filing with the Board: an offer
of financial assistance (OFA) to
subsidize or purchase a rail line for
which a railroad is seeking
abandonment (49 U.S.C. 10904),
including a request for the Board to set
terms and conditions of the financial
assistance; a request for a public use
condition (§ 10905); or a trail-use
request (16 U.S.C. 1247(d)). Similarly,
when a line is placed on a system
diagram map identifying it as an
anticipated or potential candidate for
abandonment, affected shippers,
communities, or other interested
persons may seek to preserve rail
service by filing with the Board a feeder
line application to purchase the
identified rail line (§ 10907). When a
line is so placed on the map, the feeder
line applicant need not demonstrate that

Additionally, the railroad owning the

in some circumstances, provide

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-
3519 (PRA), the Surface Transportation Board (Board) gives notice that
it is requesting from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of an extension of the information collection--Statutory
Licensing and Consolidation Authority--further described below. The
Board previously published a notice about this collection in the
Federal Register. 80 FR 38,508 (July 6, 2015). That notice allowed for
a 60-day public review and comment period. One comment was received and
is addressed in the agency's submission to OMB as part of this approval
process.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10901-03 and Sec. Sec. 11323-26, rail carriers and
non-carriers are required to file an application with the Board, or
seek an exemption (through petition or notice) from the full
application process under Sec. 10502, before they may construct,
acquire, or operate a line of railroad; abandon or discontinue
operations over a line of railroad; or consolidate their interests
through a merger or common-control arrangement. (The relevant
information collections are described in more detail below.)
Comments are requested concerning: (1) The accuracy of the Board's
burden estimates; (2) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; (3) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, when appropriate; and (4) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Board, including whether the collection has practical utility.

Total Annual ``Non-hour Burden'' Cost: Approximately $1,537.50 (sum
total of the cost per response x number of responses for each type of
filing). Filings are submitted electronically to the Board; so there is
no cost for filing with the Board. However, respondents are sometimes
required, as part of this collection, to send letters to certain
governmental agencies notifying them of the proposed action being
sought before the Board. (Copies of these letters are part of an
environmental and historic report that is sometimes required as part of
this collection.) Because some of these agencies may require hard copy
letters, there may be some limited mailing costs, which we have
estimated at approximately $12.50 per response.
Needs and Uses: Under the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended by
the ICC Termination Act of 1995, Public Law 104-88, 109 Stat. 803
(1995), persons seeking to construct, acquire or operate a line of
railroad and railroads seeking to abandon or to discontinue operations
over a line of railroad or, in the case of two or more railroads, to
consolidate their interests through merger or a common-control
arrangement are required to file an application for prior approval and
authority with the Board. See 49 U.S.C. 10901-03 and 11323-26. Under 49
U.S.C. 10502, persons may seek an exemption from many of the
application requirements of Sec. Sec. 10901-03 and 11323-26 by filing
with the Board a petition for exemption or notice of exemption in lieu
of an application. The collection by the Board of these applications,
petitions, and notices enables the Board to meet its statutory duty to
regulate the referenced rail transactions. See Table--Statutory and
Regulatory Provisions below.
Retention Period: Information in these collections is maintained by
the Board for ten years, after which it is transferred to the National
Archives as permanent records.
DATES: Comments on this information collection should be submitted by
October 8, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be identified as ``Paperwork

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under Sec. Sec. 10901-03 and 11323-26, an
application must be filed to seek authority under these sections, but
an applicant may file a petition or notice pursuant to an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 10502. Respondents seeking authority from the Board
under these provisions must submit certain information required under
the Board's related regulations. The table below shows the statutory
