Needs and Uses: The Surface
Transportation Board is, by statute,
responsible for the economic regulation
of common carrier freight railroads and
certain other carriers operating in the
United States. Under the laws the Board
administers, persons seeking to preserve
rail service may file pleadings before the
Board to acquire or subsidize a rail line
for continued service, or to impose a
trail use or public use condition.
When a line is proposed for
abandonment, affected shippers,
communities, or other interested
persons may seek to preserve rail
service by filing with the Board: an offer
of financial assistance (OFA) to
subsidize or purchase a rail line for
which a railroad is seeking
abandonment (49 U.S.C. 10904),
including a request for the Board to set
terms and conditions of the financial
assistance; a request for a public use
condition (section 10905); or a trail use
request (16 U.S.C. 1247(d)). Similarly,
when a line is placed on a system
diagram map identifying it as an
anticipated or potential candidate for
abandonment, affected shippers,
communities, or other interested
persons may seek to preserve rail
service by filing with the Board a feeder
line application to purchase the
identified rail line (§ 10907).
Additionally, the railroad owning the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
rail line subject to abandonment must,
in some circumstances, provide
information to the applicant or offeror.
As to trail use, the STB will issue a
CITU or NITU to a prospective trail
sponsor who seeks an interim trail use
agreement with the rail carrier of the rail
line that is being abandoned. The CITU/
NITU permits parties to negotiate for an
interim trail use agreement. The parties
may also agree to an extension of the
negotiating period. If parties reach an
agreement, then they must jointly notify
the Board of that fact and of any
modification or vacancy of the
agreement. There is a one-year period
for any initial interim trail use
negotiating period (with potential
extensions).
The Board makes this submission
because, 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.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), federal
agencies are required to provide, prior
to an agency’s submitting a collection to
OMB for approval, a 60-day notice and
comment period through publication in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,

railroads and certain other carriers operating in the United States.
Under the laws the Board administers, persons seeking to preserve rail
service may file pleadings before the Board to acquire or subsidize a
rail line for continued service, or to impose a trail use or public use
condition.
When a line is proposed for abandonment, affected shippers,
communities, or other interested persons may seek to preserve rail
service by filing with the Board: an offer of financial assistance
(OFA) to subsidize or purchase a rail line for which a railroad is
seeking abandonment (49 U.S.C. 10904), including a request for the
Board to set terms and conditions of the financial assistance; a
request for a public use condition (section 10905); or a trail use
request (16 U.S.C. 1247(d)). Similarly, when a line is placed on a
system diagram map identifying it as an anticipated or potential
candidate for abandonment, affected shippers, communities, or other
interested persons may seek to preserve rail service by filing with the
Board a feeder line application to purchase the identified rail line
(Sec. 10907). Additionally, the railroad owning the rail line subject
to abandonment must, in some circumstances, provide information to the
applicant or offeror.
As to trail use, the STB will issue a CITU or NITU to a prospective
trail sponsor who seeks an interim trail use agreement with the rail
carrier of the rail line that is being abandoned. The CITU/NITU permits
parties to negotiate for an interim trail use agreement. The parties
may also agree to an extension of the negotiating period. If parties
reach an agreement, then they must jointly notify the Board of that
fact and of any modification or vacancy of the agreement. There is a
one-year period for any initial interim trail use negotiating period
(with potential extensions).
The Board makes this submission because, 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.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), federal agencies are required to
provide, prior to an agency's submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-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.
