does not have any rail transportation
agreements or tariff agreements with
CSXT to transport grain from its facility.
HC Railroad states that there are no
shippers on the Line other than
Morristown.
In addition to an exemption from the
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903, HC
Railroad seeks an exemption from 49
U.S.C. 10904 (offer of financial
assistance (OFA) procedures) and 49
U.S.C. 10905 (public use conditions) as
it intends to leave the track in place for
continued access by its affiliate,
Morristown, and to serve any
hypothetical future industries through
private contract. HC Railroad states that
there has been no actual or need for
common carrier rail service since it
acquired the Line and that the
abandonment of its common carrier
obligation will facilitate private use of
the track. HC Railroad’s request for
exemption from § 10904 and § 10905
will be addressed in the final decision.
HC Railroad states that the Line does
not contain federally granted rights-ofway. Any documentation in HC
Railroad’s possession will be made
available promptly to those requesting
it.
HC Railroad states that there are no
paid railroad employees. Nevertheless,
to ensure that this is the case, the
interest of railroad employees, if any,
will be protected by the conditions set
forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad—
Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch
Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C.
91 (1979).
By issuing this notice, the Board is
instituting an exemption proceeding
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final
decision will be issued by June 30,
2017.
Any offer of financial assistance
(OFA) under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) will
be due no later than 10 days after
service of a decision granting the
petition for exemption. Each OFA must
be accompanied by a $1,700 filing fee.
See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).
All interested persons should be
aware that, following abandonment, the
Line may be suitable for other public
use, including interim trail use. Any
request for a public use condition under
49 CFR 1152.28 or for trail use/rail
banking under 49 CFR 1152.29 will be
due no later than April 24, 2017. Each
trail request must be accompanied by a
$300 filing fee. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(27).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
533 of the Airport and Airway

by section 115 of the Airport and
Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion
Act of 1987, Public Law 100–223,
(codified at 49 U.S.C. 50104), requires
the USTR to decide whether any foreign
country has denied fair market
opportunities to U.S. products,
suppliers, or bidders in connection with
airport construction projects of $500,000
or more that are funded in whole or in
part by the government of such country.
The USTR must publish the list of
countries in the Federal Register. The
Office of the U.S. Trade Representative
has not received any complaints or
other information indicating that a
foreign country has denied U.S.
products, suppliers, or bidders fair
market opportunities in airport
construction projects. Therefore, the
USTR has decided not to list any
countries as denying fair market
opportunities for U.S. products,
suppliers, or bidders in foreign
government-funded airport construction
projects.

and effective September 1, 2004. ASTM
International Committee F37 on Light

participation. By this notice, the FAA

acceptable for certification of the
specified aircraft under the provisions
of the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport
Aircraft rule.

This
notice announces the availability of one
new and six revised consensus
standards that supersede previously
accepted consensus standards relating
to the provisions of the Sport Pilot and
Light-Sport Aircraft rule. ASTM
International Committee F37 on LightSport Aircraft developed the new and
revised standards. The FAA expects a
suitable consensus standard to be
reviewed periodically. The review cycle
will result in a standard revision or
reapproval. A standard is revised to
make changes to its technical content or
is reapproved to indicate a review cycle
has been completed with no technical
changes. A standard is issued under a
fixed designation (e.g., F2245); the
number immediately following the
designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of
revision, the year of last revision. A
number in parentheses following the
year of original adoption or revision
indicates the year of last reapproval. For
example, F2242–05(2013) designates a
standard that was originally adopted (or
revised) in 2005 and reapproved in
2013. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates
an editorial change since the last

revision or reapproval. A notice of
availability (NOA) will only be issued
for new or revised standards.
Reapproved standards issued with no
technical changes or standards issued
with editorial changes only (i.e.,
superscript epsilon [e]) are considered
accepted by the FAA without need for
an NOA.
Comments Invited: Interested persons
are invited to submit such written data,
views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Communications should identify the
consensus standard number and be
submitted to the address specified
above. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments
will be forwarded to ASTM
International Committee F37 for
consideration. The standard may be
changed in light of the comments
received. The FAA will address all
comments received during the recurring
review of the consensus standard and
will participate in the consensus
standard revision process.
Background: Under the provisions of
the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft
rule, and Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A–119, ‘‘Federal
Participation in the Development and
Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards
and in Conformity Assessment
Activities’’, revised January 27, 2016,
industry and the FAA have been
working with ASTM International to
develop consensus standards for lightsport aircraft. These consensus
standards satisfy the FAA’s goal for
airworthiness certification and a
verifiable minimum safety level for
light-sport aircraft. Instead of
developing airworthiness standards
through the rulemaking process, the
FAA participates as a member of
Committee F37 in developing these
standards. The use of the consensus
standard process facilitates government
and industry discussion and agreement
on appropriate standards for the
required level of safety.
Comments on Previous Notices of
Availability
In the previous Notice of Availability
(NOA) issued on March 27, 2015, and
published in the Federal Register on
April 16, 2015 the FAA asked for public
comments on the revised consensus
standards accepted by that NOA. The
comment period closed on June 15,
2015. No public comments were
received regarding the standards
accepted by this NOA.
Consensus Standards in This Notice of
Availability
The FAA has reviewed the standards
presented in this NOA for compliance
