SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
Indexing the Annual Operating
Revenues of Railroads
The Surface Transportation Board
(STB) is publishing the annual inflationadjusted index factors for 2016. These
factors are used by the railroads to
adjust their gross annual operating
revenues for classification purposes.
This indexing methodology ensures that
railroads are classified based on real
business expansion and not on the
effects of inflation. Classification is
important because it determines the
extent to which individual railroads
must comply with STB reporting
requirements.
The STB’s annual inflation-adjusted
factors are based on the annual average
Railroad Freight Price Index developed
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
STB’s deflator factor is used to deflate
revenues for comparison with
established revenue thresholds.
The base year for railroads is 1991.
The inflation index factors are presented
as follows:

Notice of Availability of the Federal Aviation Administration
Adoption and Record of Decision of Department of Navy's Final
Environmental Impact Statement and Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement for Land Acquisition and Airspace Establishment To
Support Large-Scale Marine Air Ground: Task Force Live Fire and
Maneuver Training, Twentynine Palms
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of record of decision.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
decision to adopt the Department of the Navy's (DoN) Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) and Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
(SEIS) for Land Acquisition and Airspace Establishment to Support
Large-Scale Marine Air Ground Task Force Live-Fire and Maneuver
Training at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms,
California. In accordance with Section 102 of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (``NEPA''), the Council on
Environmental Quality's (``CEQ'') regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR
parts 1500-1508), and other applicable authorities, including the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 1050.1F, Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 8-2, and FAA Order JO
7400.2K, ``Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters,'' paragraph 32-2-
3, the FAA has conducted an independent review and evaluation of the
DoN's EIS and SEIS for Land Acquisition and Airspace Establishment to
Support Large-Scale Marine Air Ground Task Force Live-Fire and Maneuver
Training at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms,
California dated July 2012 and January 2017 respectively. As a
cooperating agency with responsibility for approving special use
airspace under 49 U.S.C. 40103(b)(3)(A), the FAA provided subject
matter expertise to the DoN during the environmental review process.
Based on its independent review and evaluation, the FAA has determined
the EIS and SEIS, including all supporting documentation, as
incorporated by reference, adequately assesses and discloses the
environmental impacts for the temporary special use air space, and that
adoption of the 2012 and 2017 EISs by the FAA is authorized under 40
CFR 1506.3, Adoption. Accordingly, the FAA adopts the 2012 and 2017
EISs, and takes full responsibility for the scope and content that
addresses the proposed temporary changes to Special Use Airspace in the
vicinity of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine
Palms.

Regulations Group, Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
telephone: (202) 267-7378.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In July 2012, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy
Act and its implementing regulations, the DoN released a Final EIS. The
Final EIS presented the potential environmental consequences of the
DoN's proposal to establish Special Use Airspace to support Navy
training activities that involve the use of advanced weapons systems.
The U.S. Marine Corps is the proponent for the temporary SUA in the
vicinity of Twentynine Palms, California, and the DoN is the lead
agency for the preparation of the EIS and SEIS. The DoN issued their
RODs on 2013 and 2017. As a result of public, agency, and tribal
comments, and the FAA aeronautical review process; the DoN, FAA, other
Federal and State agencies, and tribal governments have
[[Page 29362]]
consulted to mitigate concerns while continuing to meet national
defense training requirements. The FAA is a cooperating agency
responsible for approving Special Use Airspace as defined in 40 CFR
1508.5.
Implementation
The FAA is establishing the following temporary special use
airspace: Restricted area R-2509 E/W/N, Johnson Valley MOA/ATCAA,
Sundance High MOA/ATCAA, Sundance West MOA/ATCAA, Bristol Low MOA,
Bristol ATCAA, CAX Low/High MOA/ATCAA, and Turtle MOA/ATCAA. The Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking for temporary R-2509 was published in the
Federal Register (82 FR 11414) on February 23, 2017. The MOAs were
circularized to the public on February 27, 2017, with Docket No 16-AWP-
24NR. The legal descriptions for the MRIC Airspace established, as
noted in this notice, will be published in the Federal Register as a
Final Rule and in the National Flight Data Digest (NFDD) with a June
22, 2017, effective date. A copy of the FAAROD is available on the FAA
Web site.
Right of Appeal
The Adoption and ROD for the establishment of temporary special use
airspace in the vicinity of the Combat Center at Twentynine Palms,
California constitutes a final order of the FAA Administrator and is
subject to exclusive judicial review under 49 U.S.C. 46110 by the U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia or the U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals for the circuit in which the person contesting
the decision resides or has its principal place of business. Any party
having substantial interest in this order may apply for review of the
decision by filing a petition for review in the appropriate U.S. Court
of Appeals no later than 60 days after the order is issued in
accordance with the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 46110.
