that must be filed with this collection
(unless waived by the Board). Because
some of these other agencies may
require hard copy letters, there may be
some limited mailing costs, which staff
estimates in total to be approximately
$1,750.
Needs and Uses: As mandated by
Congress, persons seeking to construct,
acquire or operate a line of railroad and
railroads seeking to abandon or to
discontinue operations over a line of
railroad or, in the case of two or more
railroads, to consolidate their interests
through merger or a common-control
arrangement are required to file an
application for prior approval and
authority with the Board. See 49 U.S.C.
10901–03, 11323–26. Under 49 U.S.C.
10502, persons may seek an exemption
from many of the application
requirements of sections 10901–03 and
11323–26 by filing with the Board a
petition for exemption or notice of
exemption in lieu of an application. The
collection by the Board of these
applications, petitions, and notices
(including collection of disclosures of
rail interchange commitments under 49
CFR 1121.3(d), 1150.33(h), 1150.43(h),
and 1180.4(g)(4)) enables the Board to
meet its statutory duty to regulate the
referenced rail transactions. In cases in
which the requests for authority involve
agreements with interchange
commitments that may limit the future
interchange of traffic with third parties,
certain information must be disclosed to
the Board about those commitments. 49
CFR 1121.3(d), 1150.33(h), 1150.43(h),
1180.4(g)(4). The collection of this
information facilitates the case-specific
review of interchange commitments and
enables the Board’s monitoring of their
usage generally.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Section 3507(b) of
the PRA requires, concurrent with an
agency’s submitting a collection to OMB
for approval, a 30-day notice and
comment period through publication in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
