Progressive Rail Incorporated—
Continuance in Control Exemption—
Clackamas Valley Railway, LLC
Progressive Rail Incorporated (PGR), a
Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified
notice of exemption under 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(2) to continue in control of
Clackamas Valley Railway, LLC (CVR),
upon CVR’s becoming a Class III rail
carrier.
This transaction is related to a
concurrently filed verified notice of
exemption in Clackamas Valley
Railway, LLC—Lease & Operation
Exemption with Interchange
Commitment—Union Pacific Railroad
Co., Docket No. FD 36211. In that
proceeding, CVR seeks an exemption
under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease and
operate 1.6 miles of railroad line in
Clackamas, Or. (the Line), owned by
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP).

Jkt 244001
The earliest this transaction may be
consummated is September 15, 2018 (30
days after the verified notice was filed).
PGR will continue in control of CVR
upon CVR’s becoming a Class III rail
carrier. According to PGR, it owns or
operates rail lines in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Illinois. PGR states that
it controls six other Class III railroads
that operate in Minnesota, Missouri,
Iowa, North Carolina, Illinois, and
California,1 and that its control of a
seventh, the St. Paul & Pacific Railroad,
LLC (SPR), is pending.2
PGR states that: (1) The Line to be
operated by CVR does not connect with
any other railroads in the PGR corporate
family; (2) the continuance in control is
not part of a series of anticipated
transactions that would connect the
Line with any other railroad in the PGR
corporate family; and (3) the transaction
does not involve a Class I rail carrier.
Therefore, the proposed transaction is
exempt from the prior approval
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323. See 49
CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of its
employees. Section 11326(c), however,
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under §§ 11324 and 11325
that involve only Class III rail carriers.
Accordingly, the Board may not impose
labor protective conditions here,
because all the carriers involved are
Class III carriers.
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 to stay must be
filed no later than September 7, 2018 (at

becomes effective).

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 revision of this
collection involves the amendment of
regulations, which allows a certificate
holder’s pilots to log second-incommand (SIC) time in operations that
does not otherwise require a SIC. This
revision also removes the burden for
initial certification as that is already
counted under ICR 2120–0593.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by October 1, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to the attention of the Desk Officer,
Department of Transportation/FAA, and
sent via electronic mail to oira_

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120–0039
Title: Operating Requirements:
Commuter and On-Demand Operation
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: This is a revision of
an existing information collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27822). On June
27, 2018, the FAA published the final
rule Regulatory Relief, Aviation
Training devices; Pilot Certification,
Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other
Provisions (83 FR 30232). In that rule,
the FAA is amending § 135.99 by adding
paragraph (c) to allow a certificate
holder to receive approval of a secondin-command (SIC) professional
development program (SIC PDP) via
operations specifications (Ops Specs) to
allow the certificate holder’s pilots to
log SIC time in operations conducted
under part 135 in an airplane or
operation that does not otherwise
require a SIC. As explained in the rule,
the FAA believes that a comprehensive
SIC PDP will provide opportunities for
beneficial flight experience that may not
otherwise exist and also provide
increased safety in operations for those
flights conducted in a multicrew
environment. The FAA is establishing
requirements in § 135.99(c) for
certificate holders, airplanes, and
flightcrew members during operations
conducted under an approved SIC PDP.
Those changes are reflected in this
information collection.
The FAA is also changing certain
logging requirements to enable the
logging of SIC time obtained under a SIC
PDP. Those changes are reflected in a
revision to information collection 2120–
0021.
Respondents: Operators who
currently possess an FAA approved PIC
or SIC training program could revise
and utilize those existing programs to
qualify their pilots seeking approval to
log SIC time. Those operators that do
not already possess an approved PIC/

SIC training program (that must include
crew resource management training)
would be required to submit a proposed
new SIC training program for FAA
approval. This would be amending an
existing part 119 certificate. As of
September 28, 2017 the FAA estimates
that there were approximately 457 part
135 operators with single engine
turbine-powered airplanes or
multiengine airplanes that would
qualify or actually pursue the
authorization to conduct a SIC
professional development program.
The FAA estimates that
approximately 20 operators would be
required to submit a newly developed
SIC Professional Development Training
Program for approval in the first year
that the program is available. The FAA
estimates that 50 operators will request
an amendment to their existing PIC/SIC
training program. This time burden is
reflected in § 135.325, Training program
and revision.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Section 135.99(c) permits a
certificate holder to seek approval of an
SIC professional development program
via issuance of operations specifications
(Ops Specs) to allow the certificate
holder’s pilots to log SIC time. Under an
approved SIC professional development
program, pilots may log SIC time in part
135 operations conducted in
multiengine airplanes and single engine
turbine-powered airplanes that do not
otherwise require an SIC, if those pilots:
(1) Meet certification, training, and
qualification requirements for pilots in
part 135 operations, and (2) serve under
the supervision of a part 135 PIC who
meets certain experience requirements.
The FAA estimates that 20 operators
will take approximately 40 hours each
to develop and submit an acceptable
new SIC training program. This program
change will result in a burden increase
of 800 hours in the first year of
information collection only.
The FAA estimates that 50 operators
will take approximately 20 hours each
to revise and submit an acceptable SIC
training program. This program change
will result in a burden increase of 1,000
hours.
The new or revised SIC training
program will result in a burden of 1,800
total hours in the first year of
information collection.
In addition, the FAA has revised the
burden in section 135.325 to remove the
calculation of the burden for new
applicants (for initial approval of
training programs); this burden should
not be reflected in this collection as it
is already addressed in a previously
approved collection (2120–0593
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Certification: Air Carriers and
Commercial Operators—FAR Part 119).
This change is necessary to avoid
double-counting the burden.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
overall burden for part 135 was
previously estimated at 1,154,674 hours.
With the removal of the initial
certification burden already accounted
for in the part 119 statement, addition
of the SIC training program
development and approval burden, the
total new annual reduced burden
estimate is 1,314,814 hours. This is a
reduction of 160,140 hours from the
previous estimate.
Issued in Washington, DC, on August 23,
2018.

collection.
The FAA is also changing certain logging requirements to enable the
logging of SIC time obtained under a SIC PDP. Those changes are
reflected in a revision to information collection 2120-0021.
Respondents: Operators who currently possess an FAA approved PIC or
SIC training program could revise and utilize those existing programs
to qualify their pilots seeking approval to log SIC time. Those
operators that do not already possess an approved PIC/SIC training
program (that must include crew resource management training) would be
required to submit a proposed new SIC training program for FAA
approval. This would be amending an existing part 119 certificate. As
of September 28, 2017 the FAA estimates that there were approximately
457 part 135 operators with single engine turbine-powered airplanes or
multiengine airplanes that would qualify or actually pursue the
authorization to conduct a SIC professional development program.
The FAA estimates that approximately 20 operators would be required
to submit a newly developed SIC Professional Development Training
Program for approval in the first year that the program is available.
The FAA estimates that 50 operators will request an amendment to their
existing PIC/SIC training program. This time burden is reflected in
Sec. 135.325, Training program and revision.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Section 135.99(c) permits a
certificate holder to seek approval of an SIC professional development
program via issuance of operations specifications (Ops Specs) to allow
the certificate holder's pilots to log SIC time. Under an approved SIC
professional development program, pilots may log SIC time in part 135
operations conducted in multiengine airplanes and single engine
turbine-powered airplanes that do not otherwise require an SIC, if
those pilots: (1) Meet certification, training, and qualification
requirements for pilots in part 135 operations, and (2) serve under the
supervision of a part 135 PIC who meets certain experience
requirements.
The FAA estimates that 20 operators will take approximately 40
hours each to develop and submit an acceptable new SIC training
program. This program change will result in a burden increase of 800
hours in the first year of information collection only.
The FAA estimates that 50 operators will take approximately 20
hours each to revise and submit an acceptable SIC training program.
This program change will result in a burden increase of 1,000 hours.
The new or revised SIC training program will result in a burden of
1,800 total hours in the first year of information collection.
In addition, the FAA has revised the burden in section 135.325 to
remove the calculation of the burden for new applicants (for initial
approval of training programs); this burden should not be reflected in
this collection as it is already addressed in a previously approved
collection (2120-0593 Certification: Air Carriers and Commercial
Operators--FAR Part 119). This change is necessary to avoid double-
counting the burden.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The overall burden for part 135 was
previously estimated at 1,154,674 hours. With the removal of the
initial certification burden already accounted for in the part 119
statement, addition of the SIC training program development and
approval burden, the total new annual reduced burden estimate is
1,314,814 hours. This is a reduction of 160,140 hours from the previous
estimate.
