Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 212 / Friday, November 3, 2017 / Notices
ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
agreed to terminate its operation over
the Line upon consummation of the
transaction between GOOS and UP and
does not object to the proposed change
in operators.
GOOS states that the proposed change
in operators does not involve any
provision or agreement that would limit
future interchange with a third-party
connecting carrier. GOOS certifies that
its projected annual revenues as a result
of this transaction will not result in the
creation of a Class II or Class I rail
carrier and would not exceed $5
million.
Under 49 CFR 1150.42(b), a change in
operators requires that notice be given
to shippers. GOOS states that there are
no active shippers on the Line and that
all current freight traffic on the Line
originates or terminates on connecting
Lines. GOOS therefore submits that the
shipper notice requirement is not
applicable to this transaction.
The earliest this transaction can be
consummated is November 19, 2017, the
effective date of the exemption.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than November 9, 2017
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
36154, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on Robert A. Wimbish,
Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker
Drive, Suite 920, Chicago, IL 60606.
According to GOOS, this action is
excluded from environmental review
under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and from
historic preservation reporting
requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b)(l).

Decided: October 27, 2017.

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Reinstated Approval of
Information Collection: Flight
Simulation Device Initial and
Continuing Qualification and Use
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. This request for clearance
reflects requirements necessary to
ensure safety-of-flight by ensuring that
complete and adequate training, testing,
checking, and experience is obtained
and maintained by those who operate
under certain parts of FAA’s regulations
and use flight simulation in lieu of
aircraft for these functions.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by January 2, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA
at the following address: Barbara Hall,
Federal Aviation Administration, ASP–
110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort
Worth, TX 76177.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Barbara Hall by email at:
Barbara.L.Hall@faa.gov; phone: 940–
594–5913.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0680.
Title: Flight Simulation Device Initial
and Continuing Qualification and Use.
Form Numbers: (Pending) Forms
T001A, T002, T004, T011, T011–FD2,
T012, T023, T024, T025.
Type of Review: This is a
reinstatement of an information
collection.
Background: This information
collection requires sponsors of flight

simulation training devices (FSTD) to
systematically plan for and implement
the requirements of part 60 and the
associated Qualification Performance
Standard (QPS). Sponsors have been
sub-grouped into small, medium, and
large based on the number of training
centers. A sponsor will be guided
through the administrative requirements
by the local principal operations
inspector or training center program
manager and by representatives of the
National Simulator Program staff
regarding any FSTD for which the
sponsor applicant seeks qualification.
The FAA has determined this
information collection is necessary to
amend the Qualification Performance
Standards for FSTDs for the primary
purpose of improving existing technical
standards and introducing new
technical standards for full stall and
stick pusher maneuvers, upset
recognition and recovery maneuvers,
maneuvers conducted in airborne icing
conditions, takeoff and landing
maneuvers in gusting crosswinds, and
bounced landing recovery maneuvers.
These new and improved technical
standards are intended to fully define
FSTD fidelity requirements for
conducting new flight training tasks
introduced through changes to the air
carrier training requirements. This
information collection also addresses
updated FSTD technical standards to
better align with the current
international FSTD evaluation guidance
and introduces a new FSTD level that
expands the number of qualified flight
training tasks in a fixed base flight
training device. This information
collection will help ensure that the
training and testing environment is
accurate and realistic, in accordance
with regulations.
Respondents: The estimate is based
on a current sponsor count of 68 that
changes on a continuous basis.
Frequency: Annual.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 44 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
93,385 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 26,
2017.
