Abstract of proposed collection:
DDTC regulates the export and

accordance with the Arms Export
Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2751 et
seq.) and the International Traffic in

political contributions in an aggregate
amount of $5,000 or greater; or (2) fees

provide the specified information, when
they or their vendors, have paid, or
offered or agreed to pay, in respect to
any sale (1) political contributions in an
aggregate amount of $5,000 or greater; or
(2) fees or commissions in an aggregate
amount equaling or exceeding $100,000.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. AB 290 (Sub-No. 382X)]
Norfolk Southern Railway Company—
Discontinuance of Service
Exemption—in Washington County,
Pa.
Norfolk Southern Railway Company
(NSR) has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR pt. 1152
subpart F—Exempt Abandonments and
Discontinuances of Service to
discontinue service over an
approximately 7.58-mile rail line
extending from milepost EL 11.818
(near Ellsworth) to milepost EL 19.4 (at
Marianna) in Washington County, Pa.
(the Line). The Line traverses United
States Postal Service Zip Codes 15345,
15360, 15331, and 15314.
NSR has certified that: (1) No local
traffic has moved over the Line for at
least two years; (2) any overhead traffic
on the Line can be rerouted over other
lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by
a user of rail service on the Line (or a
state or local government entity acting
on behalf of such user) regarding
cessation of service over the Line either
is pending before the Surface
Transportation Board (Board) or any
U.S. District Court or has been decided
in favor of the complainant within the
two-year period; and (4) 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 of service 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) 1 to subsidize
continued rail service has been
received, this exemption will be
effective on September 14, 2018, unless
stayed pending reconsideration. Formal
expressions of intent to file an OFA
1 The Board modified its OFA procedures
effective July 29, 2017. Among other things, the
OFA process now requires potential offerors, in
their formal expression of intent, to make a
preliminary financial responsibility showing based
on a calculation using information contained in the
carrier’s filing and publicly available information.
See Offers of Financial Assistance, EP 729 (STB
served June 29, 2017); 82 FR 30,997 (July 5, 2017).

under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) 2 must be
filed by August 24, 2018. Petitions to
stay that do not involve environmental
issues must be filed by August 27,
2018.3 Petitions for reconsideration
must be filed by September 4, 2018,
with the Surface Transportation Board,
395 E Street SW, Washington, DC
20423–0001.
A copy of any petition filed with
Board should be sent to NSR’s
representative, William A. Mullins,
Baker & Miller PLLC, 2401 Pennsylvania
Avenue NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC
20037.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our website at
WWW.STB.GOV.
Decided: August 10, 2018.
By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting
Director, Office of Proceedings.

Federal Aviation Administration
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: QSA Customer
Feedback Report
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. The information is collected
from holders of FAA production
approvals and selected suppliers in the
form of a feedback survey, to obtain
their input on how well the agency is
performing the administration and
conduct of the Aircraft Certification
Systems Quality System Audit (QSA).
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by October 15, 2018.
SUMMARY:
2 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which currently is set at $1,800. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
3 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and
not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and
public use conditions are not appropriate. Because
there will be an environmental review during
abandonment, this discontinuance does not require
environmental review.
