41. Please provide observations
regarding government efforts to address
the issue of unlawful recruitment or use
of children by governmental armed
groups and/or non-state armed groups.
Describe the government’s efforts to
disarm and demobilize child soldiers, to
provide protection services and
reintegrate former child soldiers, and to
monitor the wellbeing of such children
after reintegration. Does the government
have any children held in military
detention due to their suspected roles as
child soldiers? Do international
monitoring organizations (e.g., UN,
ICRC, HRW) have unhindered access to
interview these detained children and/
or child soldiers and monitor the
conditions of their detention? Describe
the conditions of military detention of
child soldiers and/or children accused
of association with armed groups. Does
the government have and/or use any
hand-over procedures to transfer these
children to civilian authorities?
Catherine E. Kay,
Deputy Director, Office to Monitor and
Combat Trafficking in Persons, Department
of State.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 36458]
West Virginia State Rail Authority—
Acquisition and Operation
Exemption—The Elk River Railroad,
Inc.
West Virginia State Rail Authority
(WVRA), a Class III rail carrier, has filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.41 to acquire from The Elk
River Railroad, Inc. (TERRI) and operate
approximately 18.0 miles of rail line
extending from milepost 0.0 at Dundon
and milepost 18.0 at Widen, in Clay
County, W. Va. (the Line).1
WVRA states that it has executed a
Purchase and Sale Agreement with
TERRI to purchase the Line, plus
connecting spur and side tracks, if any,
appurtenant property and assets, and
underlying real estate and right-of-way.
WVRA states that, after consummation,
it will own and operate the Line as a
common carrier and will assume all
common carrier rights and obligations
with respect thereto.
1 The verified notice states that the Line is known
as the Buffalo Creek & Gauley Railroad. TERRI was
recently granted after-the-fact authority to merge
with The Buffalo Creek Railroad Company, which
previously owned the Line. See Elk River R.R.—
Merger Exemption—Buffalo Creek R.R., FD 36434
(STB served Nov. 6, 2020).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
WVRA certifies that the proposed
acquisition and operation of the Line
does not involve a provision or
agreement that may limit future
interchange with a third-party
connecting carrier. WVRA further
certifies that its projected annual
revenues as a result of this transaction
will not exceed the maximum revenue
of a Class III rail carrier and will not
exceed $5 million.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after December 16, 2020, the
effective date of the exemption (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 for stay must
be filed no later than December 9, 2020
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36458, should be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on WVRA’s representative,
Lucinda K. Butler, Executive Director,
West Virginia State Rail Authority, 120
Water Plant Drive, Moorefield, WV
26836.
According to WVRA, this action is
categorically excluded from
environmental review under 49 CFR
1105.6(c) and from historic reporting
requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).
Board decisions and notices are
available at www.stb.gov.
Decided: November 25, 2020.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
