Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 237 / Thursday, December 10, 2015 / Notices
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
Wallace Environmental Testing
Laboratories (WETL), Inc. of Houston,
Texas (Registered Importer R–90–005)
has petitioned NHTSA to decide
whether nonconforming 2012 Fisker
Karma PC’s are eligible for importation
into the United States. The vehicles
which WETL believes are substantially
similar are MY 2012 Fisker Karma PC’s
sold in the United States and certified
by their manufacturer as conforming to
all applicable FMVSS.
The petitioner claims that it compared
non-U.S. certified MY 2012 Fisker
Karma PC’s to their U.S.-certified
counterparts, and found the vehicles to
be substantially similar with respect to
compliance with most FMVSS.
WETL submitted information with its
petition intended to demonstrate that
non-U.S. certified MY 2012 Fisker
Karma PC’s, as originally manufactured,
conform to many applicable FMVSS in
the same manner as their U.S.-certified
counterparts, or are capable of being
readily altered to conform to those
standards. Specifically, the petitioner
claims that the non U.S.-certified MY
2012 Fisker Karma PC’s, as originally
manufactured, conform to: Standard
Nos. 102 Transmission Shift Lever
Sequence, Starter Interlock, and
Transmission Braking Effect, 103
Windshield Defrosting and Defogging
Systems, 104 Windshield Wiping and
Washing Systems, 105 Hydraulic and
Electric Brake Systems, 106 Brake

Crush Resistance, 219 Windshield Zone
Intrusion, 225 Child Restraint
Anchorage Systems, 301 Fuel System
Integrity, 302 Flammability of Interior
Materials, and 401 Interior Trunk
Release.
The petitioner also contends that the
subject non-U.S certified vehicles are
capable of being readily altered to meet
the following standards, in the manner
indicated:
Standard No. 101 Controls and
Displays: Replacement of the
speedometer with U.S. model

components and addition of the brake
warning indicator to fully comply with
the standard.
Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective
Devices and Associated Equipment:
Replacement of the rear side markers
with U.S.-conforming components.
Standard No. 110 Tire Selection and
Rims: Installation of the required tire
information placard.
Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors:
Inscription of the required warning
statement on the face of the passenger

front airbag module, left knee bolster,
right knee bolster, and the instrument
cluster with U.S. model components.
Standard No. 209 Seat Belt
Assemblies: Replacement of the
passenger seat belt assembly with U.S.
model components.
The petitioner additionally states that
a vehicle identification plate must be
affixed to the vehicle near the left
windshield pillar to meet the
requirements of 49 CFR part 565.
All comments received before the
close of business on the closing date
indicated above will be considered, and
will be available for examination in the
docket at the above addresses both
before and after that date. To the extent
possible, comments filed after the
closing date will also be considered.
Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal
Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A),

CSX Transportation, Inc.—
Discontinuance of Service
Exemption—in St. Clair and Clinton
Counties, Ill.
CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR pt. 1152 subpart F—Exempt
Abandonments and Discontinuances of

approximately 23.9-mile rail line on its
Southern Region, Nashville Division,
Illinois Subdivision between milepost

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
BC 304.00, near Avison, Clinton County,
Ill., to milepost BC 327.9, near
Caseyville, St. Clair County, Ill. (the
Line). The Line traverses United States
Postal Service Zip Codes 62232, 62208,
62269, 62254, 62293, and 62216.
CSXT has certified that: (1) No freight
traffic has moved over the Line for at
least two years; (2) no formal complaint
filed by a user of rail service on the Line
(or by a state or local government entity
acting on behalf of such user) regarding
cessation of service over the Line either
is pending with the Surface
Transportation Board or any U.S.
District Court or has been decided in
favor of a complainant within the twoyear period; and (3) the requirements at
49 CFR 1105.12 (newspaper
publication), and 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1)
(notice to governmental agencies) have
been met.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
discontinuance shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line Railroad—
Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch
Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C.
91 (1979). To address whether this
condition adequately protects affected
employees, a petition for partial
revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
must be filed.
Provided no formal expression of
intent to file an offer of financial
assistance (OFA) to subsidize continued
rail service has been received, this
exemption will become effective on
January 9, 2016, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do
not involve environmental issues and
formal expressions of intent to file an
OFA to subsidize continued rail service
under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) 1 must be
filed by December 21, 2015.2 Petitions
to reopen must be filed by December 30,
2015, with the Surface Transportation
Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington,
DC 20423–0001.
A copy of any petition filed with the
Board should be sent to CSXT’s
representative: Louis E. Gitomer, Law
Offices of Louis E. Gitomer, 600
Baltimore Avenue, Suite 301, Towson,
MD 21204.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio.
Because there will be an
environmental review during an
abandonment, this discontinuance does
not require an environmental review.
1 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which is currently set at $1,600. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
2 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and
not an abandonment, interim trail use/rail banking
and public use conditions are not appropriate.

The
Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of
2014 (MPRA) amended the Internal
Revenue Code to permit a
multiemployer plan that is projected to
have insufficient funds to reduce
pension benefits payable to participants
and beneficiaries if certain conditions
are satisfied. In order to reduce benefits,
the plan sponsor is required to submit
an application to the Secretary of the
Treasury, which the Department of the
Treasury (Treasury), in consultation
with the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC) and the Secretary of
Labor, is required to approve or deny.
On September 25, 2015, the Board of
Trustees of the Central States, Southeast
and Southwest Areas Pension Plan
(Central States Pension Plan) submitted
an application for approval to reduce
benefits under the Central States
Pension Plan. As required by the MPRA,
that application has been published on
Treasury’s Web site at https://
www.treasury.gov/services/Pages/
central-states-application.aspx. On
October 23, 2015, Treasury published a
notice in the Federal Register (80 FR
64508), in consultation with PBGC and
the Department of Labor, to solicit
public comments on all aspects of the
Central States Pension Plan application.
The notice provided that comments
must be received by December 7, 2015.
This notice announces the reopening
the comment period in order to give
additional time for interested parties to
provide comments. Comments are
requested from interested parties,
including contributing employers,

Central States Pension Plan.
Consideration will be given to any
comments that are timely received by
Treasury on or before February 1, 2016.
