SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In October
2014, a new cohort of sites was added
to the Regional Innovation Clusters
(RIC) initiative, which was originally
started in October 1, 2010 by the Small
Business Administration (SBA)’s Office
of Entrepreneurial Development.
Through this initiative, organizations in
11 communities across the U.S. have
been selected to provide industryspecific assistance to small businesses,
and to develop industry relationships
and supply chains within their regions.
Clusters—geographically concentrated
groups of interconnected businesses,
suppliers, service providers, and
associated institutions in a particular
industry or field—act as a networking
hub to convene a number of resources
to help navigate the funding,
procurement, and supply-chain
opportunities in a specific industry.
SBA is conducting an evaluation of
the Regional Innovation Clusters
initiative to determine how the clusters
have developed, the type and volume of
services they provided to small
businesses, client perceptions of the
program, and the various outcomes
related to their existence, including
collaboration among firms, innovation,
and small business growth. Small
business growth will be compared to the
overall growth of firms in those same

regions and industries. This evaluation
will also include lessons learned and
success stories. SBA proposes the use of
three instruments for data collection
and analysis of three distinct
populations. These instruments are: (1)
Small Business Survey, (2) Large
Organization Survey and (3) Cluster
Administrator Survey. In addition, SBA
plans to interview each of the 11 cluster
administrators several times a year
regarding program impact and successes
or challenges, and to obtain
clarifications on information provided
in quarterly reports. Each of the
proposed surveys will be administered
electronically and will contain both
open- and close-ended questions. The
information collected and analyzed
from these instruments will contribute
to monitoring performance metrics and
program goals, as well as
recommendations on improving
program practices.

Exemption With Interchange
Commitment—Union Pacific Railroad
Company
Tulsa-Sapulpa Union Railway
Company, L.L.C. (TSU), a Class III rail
carrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to
renew its lease of approximately 12.86
miles of railroad line owned by Union
Pacific Railroad Company (UP), located
in Tulsa County, Okla. (the Line). The
Line, known as the Jenks Industrial
Lead, extends from milepost 136.40 near
the Kimberly Clark facility in Jenks,
Okla., to the end of UP’s ownership at
milepost 149.26 and the connection
with UP’s trackage rights over BNSF
Railway Company in Tulsa, Okla.
TSU states that it and UP previously
executed a lease agreement regarding
the Line in 2001.1 TSU states that the
new lease agreement, dated as of
December 21, 2018, has an initial fiveyear term that may be extended by TSU
for an additional 15 years.
TSU certifies that its projected annual
revenues from this transaction will not
result in its becoming a Class I or Class
II rail carrier and will not exceed $5
million. As required under 49 CFR
1150.43(h)(1), TSU has disclosed in its
verified notice that the lease renewal
agreement contains an interchange
commitment that charges TSU an asset
use fee for carloads that originate or
terminate on the Line that are not
interchanged to UP.2 TSU has provided
additional information regarding the
interchange commitment as required by
49 CFR 1150.43(h).
TSU states in its verified notice that
it intends to consummate the proposed
lease renewal on or shortly after
December 21, 2018. The earliest this

December 7, 2018 (30 days after the
verified notice was filed).
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 November 30, 2018
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
