Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Refugee Biographic Data Sheet
describes a refugee applicant’s personal
characteristics and is needed to match
the refugee with a sponsoring voluntary
agency for initial reception and
placement in the U.S. under the United
States Refugee Admissions Program
administered by the Bureau of
Population, Refugees, and Migration, as
cited in the Immigration and Nationality
Act and the Refugee Act of 1980.
Methodology
Biographic information is collected in
a face-to-face intake process with the
applicant overseas. An employee of a
Resettlement Support Center, under
cooperative agreement with PRM,
collects the information and enters it
into the Worldwide Refugee Admissions
Processing System.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. AB 1242]
Hartwell First United Methodist
Church—Adverse Abandonment and
Discontinuance—Hartwell Railroad
Company and the Great Walton
Railroad Company, Inc., in Hart
County, GA
On April 14, 2017, Hartwell First
United Methodist Church (Hartwell
First or Applicant) filed an application
under 49 U.S.C. 10903 requesting that
the Surface Transportation Board
(Board) authorize the third-party, or
adverse, abandonment and
discontinuance of approximately 0.25
miles of rail line and associated right-ofway (the Line) owned by The Great
Walton Railroad Company (GWRC). The
Line, which traverses United States
Postal Service Zip Code 30643, extends
from Athens Street to a stub end at
South Forest Avenue in Hartwell, Hart
County, Ga. It is a portion of a line of
railroad, which Hartwell First refers to
as the Hartwell Line, between
Bowersville, Ga., and Hartwell.1 There
are no stations associated with the Line.
The application is available on the
Board’s Web site at https://www.stb.gov,
or a copy can be secured from Hartwell
First’s counsel, whose name and
address appear below.
Hartwell First currently owns
property on both sides of the Line that
it wishes to develop. According to
Hartwell First, the Line has not been
used to provide local rail service since
1996, is largely overgrown, and public
crossings have been removed and/or
closed by the Georgia Department of
Transportation. Hartwell First states that
GWRC has entered into a 99-year lease
for the Line and adjacent property with
a local non-profit for development of a
park, walking path, and farmers’ market.
Thus, Hartwell First asserts that the
Line cannot currently be used to
conduct rail service even if GWRC
wanted to do so. Hartwell First states
that GWRC has refused to seek
abandonment or discontinuance
authority voluntarily. Accordingly,
Hartwell First seeks adverse
abandonment and discontinuance
1 In earlier filings, Hartwell First stated that the
Line is owned by Hartwell Railroad Company
(HRC) and that GWRC has trackage rights over it.
(See, e.g., Hartwell First Pet. for Waiver 1, May 26,
2016.) In its application, however, Hartwell First
states that, based on additional research, it does not
appear that HRC has any ownership or operating
rights with respect to the Line. Hartwell First also
contends that no carrier (including GWRC and
HRC) has Board authorization to own or operate the
Hartwell Line. In this notice, references to GWRC
should be read to include HRC to the extent
appropriate.
